Need Crafty Help - Bouquet

SKP82

I saw this bouquet on TK and am so in love with it!  Even the colors are perfect for our wedding (although I would want the pinky colors to be more peachy).  The problem is I would have NO IDEA how to make it!  I even googled and and came up with nada.





First question - do you have any idea how I would go about creating this masterpiece?

Second question - do you like this bouquet?

TIA!

ETA: The decsription on TK is "Ivory Fabric Bouquet."

Jaycee - I love that flower!!  But how do I make it into a bouquet?  Use a styrofoam ball and wire?  I wouldn't want it to look too round.

Oh I found this that might work.

Any other ideas?

Hmm..see how the one tan flower towards the top has the crystal or something in the middle? Maybe you could buy something like that (the ones with the skewers attached or whatever) and threat it through the middle so that the flower forms around it?

ETA: The sell things specifically for making bouquets, they may have ones with a less round form

1 - I used a styrofoam ball and have a perfectly round bouquet:

But I'd think with flowers you'd have the ability to push them down or up so they weren't so uniform.

2 - yes, it's beautiful!

That's gorgeous! I don't really have anything else to add besides that... haha

ETA: Now I'm procrastinating writing my paper to look at techniques for making fabric flowers. I'm thinking it would be cute to make hair clips or brooches as accessories. From the tutorials, it doesn't look like it would be too difficult either!
