    I am pretty proud of this because I am not a crafty person at all. I think they turned out pretty well. I bought the flowers from afloral.com, ribbons from DollarTree and corsage pins from Wal-mart. All of it cost me $100. The same arrangement is sold at DebbieCo.com for $65 each.

    Thank you ladies! I'm pretty happy with them. :) They will now go on a vase, get covered in plastic, and housed with all the other wedding stuff until May.

     @Beluga: I followed an online tutorial. The hardest part for me was taping the Stephanotis to floral wire. I have large hands and those flowers are very dainty. I also didn't know that floral wire was sticky but didn't have adhesive on it. My first attempts kept coming undone.

    Those are so pretty I'm doing gerbera daises as well but haven't had any clue how I was going to do it.  Very nice work.

    @MissTatas: I got my flowers in early September and they sat in the box for a couple of months. So I was not looking forward to making them either. I figured, if I never got to them, I could probably pay a florist labor time to arrange them for me.

    WOW! Those look fantastic!  I love the beads or pearls down the center of the ribbon.  You did a great job :)

    They look really great, and give me hope! I want to craft my own BM bouquets, and I'm not very crafty. :P It's just such a cost savings! Do you have a link for the tutorial you used?
