Very nice! Could you tell me about how much each one cost?

I'm doing them for my wedding too! I am probably doing 8 of them and using them to hang in the aisle. After the ceremony, i will place the balls on decorative boxes and use them as centerpieces. I'll be using white carnations and a honeydew-colored ribbon.

My florist quoted me $65.00 for the small ones using carnations. For the big ones they cost me about $12.00 and the small ones ran about $8.00I love how they turned out. I  too, am using these down my aisle hanging on the chairs. GL!

BTW, thanks for the great tutorial. I've seen some great demos on youtube...but some of them never told us how to put the ribbon on without buying a birdcage. I like the use of chicken wire much better because it's a lot cheaper.

Wow that is an amazing price! Could you tell me what size the balls are as well as where you got the flowers? Thank you so so much!

I threw away the packaging for the size. I bought everything at Michaels.  The balls come in 2 sizes ( at least at my local micahels) And I bought a few of the biggest ones and a few of the small ones. When doing these it was trial and error. I never even thought about watching videos on you tube on how to make them, I just figured the wire was easy enough and stable enough.

Those look great!  I've seen other demos, but yours was definitely my favorite.  I also spent a long time looking at your blog-- it's great!
