    I never really wanted traditional flowers, I've always been a rather offbeat person in general and I decided to go for something really different for my flowers. We talked about interesting textures and materials, and I finally settled on flowers made from wood, metal, paper, and fabric. Another plus to this - you can make them long before the wedding, and they never wilt so you can keep them forever!

    My metal flowers are a combination of floral Christmas ornaments I purchased the day after Christmas for 70% off, and a few brooches that have a floral feel.

    My paper flowers I made myself, out of sheet music and old international newspapers folded and glued into beautiful flowers.

    But my wooden flowers are especially amazing. I found them on etsy, and to make them even better - the proceeds were donated to Red Cross Japan relief effort! They are amazingly delicate for wood, and lightweight. I ordered four types - a simple rose, a tuberose, a sunflower, and some roses tinted purple.

    Here is the link to the shop - http://www.etsy.com/shop/AccentsandPetals?ref=seller_info

    Oh, and another note - they are made from recyled wood from old shipping crates from the port.

    The only thing I would say though - they are small, so order the large ones.

    Oh my gosh, I'm obsessed with this. Like all kinds of obsessed. I've been looking for a good alternative for a bouquet (I want something "fake" that I can keep forever because I love the sentimentality of that, but regular fake flowers feel too much like a stuffy perfumey old lady's house to me, I'm not a fan of brooch/button/random-object bouquets...) and this is perfect!

    thismustbetheplace    May 28, 2011   Rochester, NY; wedding in Maine

    Can you ladies tell me how long it took you to receive your orders?  my wedding is May 28th and I'm wondering if it'd be possible for them to ship them expedited to make it on time?  I tried convo'ing the seller but he/she has not responded.

    TIA! ~Amy

    I saw these awhile back and really wanted to order some for a project I am doing in the center piece. I was wondering if they were nice in person. Thanks...I want to order them for sure now!

    My flowers were shipped from the Phillipenes so it took a fair amount of time to get here. I would say 3-ish weeks.  They are MUCH smaller than I thought they would be, too.  I have the roses and they are about 1 inch diameter at it's largest point.
