Fabric Flowers
After much debate, I decided to go with fabric flowers for my wedding bouquets. I just hated the idea of spending so much money on something that will wither away. I found a fabulous artisan on Etsy.com who did an amazing job for us. They were completely custom made to our theme & colours. All in all, we got 4 bouquets and 4 boutonierres for $500.
Is anyone else going with fabric bouquets?

All in all, we are spending less that $200.
I am making my own brooch bouquets with fabric flowers. Mine is ivory and the BM's are green like their dresses. I am making 6 and probably spent about $40 - $50 for supplies. Got most everything with coupons so that helped a lot! We are finishing them up tomorrow (wedding in 10 days!!). The thing that took the longest obviously was putting the flowers together but all in all it was fun and a huge cost saver for me! My daughters (8 and 10) and I made some of our own brooches using pearls and rhinestones so that saved $ as well. What's great is that they are keepsakes so they will be able to look at their bouquets in the future and remember the fun we had making the brooches. I used pins, buttons, earrings, shoe clips, etc. Whatever fit my theme and looked good. I also borrowed some brooches (something borrowed) from friends which was totally appreciated! I can't wait to get them done so I can check that off the list!
I ended up taking the ribbon off of the green one (the BM's bouquets) and it looked so much better!
