Sola or Balsa Wood Flowers

Hello all!  I'm having a destination wedding so I'm thinking about making my own bouquet (yes, making myself! scary).

I want to use sola or balsa wood flowers--does anyone know of a cheap place online, etc. that carries them?  I've looked at save-on-crafts.com but the shipping is like the price of my purchase total!!  I saw a bouquet that I loved on Etsy but it was $150 and I'm trying to spend as little money as possible and still have a pretty bouquet.

Are you set on sola or would other woods work as well?

I found this seller on Artfire selling 150 birch flowers for $30.

I'm open to other materials!  Thanks for the link.  There were some burlap ones on the site that looked cool as well.

I wouldn't purchase the sola flowers from Save-on-Crafts.  I ordered some from them about a week ago and a good portion of them came damaged because the manufacturer packed too many of them in a box too small.

A lot of Etsy vendors will do custom work.  If you like a larger bouquet just ask the seller to make you a smaller one that would fit your budget. 

Save-on-Crafts was AMAZING about it though.  I emailed them and told them about the damage and they refunded the cost of the flowers and I was able to keep them and use what wasn't damaged.
