Homemade bouquet ideas...to take abroad!

I'm getting married in Iceland, and have just looked at the cost of bridesmaids bouquets...£80 each! I know this is because Iceland has to import flowers but I have 4 bridesmaids and refuse to pay this amount for a 20 minute ceremony. I'm an artist so have a good shot at making them myself, but surely they'll get wrecked on the plane? Obviously I will not use real flowers, but does anyone have any suggestions for alternative bouquets that are sturdy and will remain so through a flight? ANY materials considered! Winter theme.

    Were having silk bouquets for Lapland and will be putting them as hand luggage. They are really light weight but cost us a lot. You can get them off eBay cheaper. Otherwise broach bouquets? Or even fur muffs? I regret not choosing fur muffs instead of bouquets now but I will sell our bouquets after I think

    I made my own and they were very robust. I packed them with tissue paper and they arrived i damaged. But the. We weren't on a plane, just a car. They could each pack their own in their own hand luggage though and that would protect them. Just keep them small and simple and they'll be fine. You could also consider not having bouquets, but perhaps a nice clutch back and a wrist corsage. Just a thought. X

    Thanks everyone, I'm considering fur muffs, customized for each bridesmaid.
