I have just started considering alternatives to fresh or dried flowers and came upon this...
http://www.etsy.com/shop/Croska
I'm totally in love with the Marie Antoinette bouquet. I contacted her, told her my budget and needs, and she actually gave me a great and reasonable quote. I am kind of in love... has anyone ordered flowers like these, and if so how did they work out?
And if you are thinking about such alternatives, it's worth contacting the artist you like and seeing if they can work with you! I recommend Ivana of the Croska shop!
