    Hi all!

    I am the mom of a bride to be. We are making and she wants all of her bouquets in silk.  We are doing high end silk so that it will look pretty close to the real thing. (She wants to use calla lillies and they do not hold up well for long periods of time and turn brown if you touch them, so we are going with silk so it will be one less thing to have to worry about on wedding day!) 

    Anyway, we are doing all white mini calla's, but she wants some kind of accent of her color, navy blue in the bouquet. I found a picture online of the exact bouquet that she wants. I cannot find where to get the navy blue flower accents/jewlery in the picture. I have looked online and have only found jewels and jewelry.  Does anyone here know where I might find them?  My daughter also said she might like to do very small mini navy blue bows in the bouquet as accents. Has anyone ever done this and if so, do you have pictures?

    Thanks so much for your help in advance!

    Welcome mama of the bride to be!!!!!   oooh thats pretty!  I did high end silk peonies for my bouq only, but the only accent I did was a blue cameo on the handle.  There is a website called bouquet jewels http://www.bouquetjewels.com/ that sells items made specifically for this!  Love the wedding world =o)

    Thanks so much for the response!  Those bouquet jewels are beautiful!  I think we are looking for something other than jewels like what is in the picture. I am thinking about looking at a craft store this weekend in the scrapbooking dept. I would think they would have small accents that I could glue to a long stem and stick them in the bouquet.  I am also going to look at small invitation bows in navy blue and see about gluing them to the top of stems with some hot glue...

    Love the idea sharing here!!

    hahaha I was wondering about that, i thought they were jewels! But yeah, if she isnt looking for jewels or sparkles, definitely try scrapbooking stuff and maybe some long wire to stick to the end. A friend of mine used copper wire (sprayed green) and glued something to the top of it at her wedding...this was before I knew the bouquetjewels site existed ;)
