So flesh professional flowers are not really a budget priority for us, so my mom and I were thinking we might make tissue paper flowers and make the bouquets, bouts, corsages, centerpieces etc ourselves a la martha stewart: http://www.marthastewartweddings.com/article/crafted-bouquet
my only concern is our colors are hot pinks and oranges and I am afraid that paper flowers might look elementary in such bright colors, not the fun, unique look I would like. What do you think?

    not tacky! i think if you keep the flowers in the warm colors you will be fine and it will not look elementary. Good luck!

    def not black tie and a DB wedding dress lol, wedding and reception are in an outdoor covered pavilion and gazebo by a lake, not a lot of flowers around but trees, no DJ there is, believe it or not a jukebox in this pavillion, we are having cupcakes too. Im just trying to keep in budget while making the whole thing have a cohesive but relaxed and fun vibe.

    I'm planning on using tissue paper pomanders for our ceremony-like other posters said, as long as they fit the overall tone of your wedding (which it sounds like it does), you should be fine.

    I'm going to be making those bouquets for my wedding! I'm having a semi-casual wedding and don't really care that much about the flowers and this will be a nice personal touch to the wedding. I agree with PP that it should fit with the overall feel of the wedding and I think it would be great for yours.

    They look nice, better than faux, but I would start making them ASAP as they look like they are very labor intensive

     ^ you are right this martha how to looks extremly time consuming, i have found a fabulous easy way to make the tissue paper flowers, i just started experimenting with them this past weekend, the hardest part is cutting the tissue paper, seriously! i guess i need to get a planning bio up (i am draggin a little, but let me know if you would like to know my method before i start up a bio)-- i am so thrilled with my tissue paper flowers , good luck!!
