    I know, I know..silk!! Ive struggled with this for so long. I am on a budget and paying for the entire wedding myself. I called a few florists and got a few prices. For the all white hand tied bouquets I am interested in I will be paying roughly $60 bucks a pop. I finally decided to just go ahead an make a silk bouquet and see how it came out. I am going with all white flowers and I like a rustic look. I made this bouquet for less than $10 bucks. I used burlap and silk pins on the handle. I think it came out pretty darm good, however, I would greatly appreciate some thoughts from you ladies. I am including two pics. One will be my DIY bouquet and one is my inspiration bouquet. Please let me know your thoughts :) P.S I would only be using silk flowers for my 4 bridesmaids. I would def splurge on my bouquets along with the groomsmens bouts. The first pic is my inspiration pic and the second is my DIY pic.

    Thanks ladies. I used a carnation bush and a rose bush ( each consisting of 6 flowers).
