    I am so excited about how my flowers turned out! They are being shipped tomorrow! They are made from wood shavings from the boatyards in the Phillipines. I love them! And I'll have them forever!

    Here's mine:

    My bridesmaids (they are just sitting in boxes but they have normal handles/stems:

    And the bouts:

    @ktkoala:  I got them from artfire. It's kind of like etsy. The seller is in the phillipines, so the shipping is a little high, but they're really pretty cheap. I got 8 bouquets, and 12 bouts for $350. It's even cheaper if you just order the flowers seperate and make them yourself.

    Here's her website:

    These are so beautiful!  I'm looking into ordering some for my wedding!  It's only a month away, so hopefully there is a fast enough shipping method :)  I was planning on DIYing my own flowers the day before the wedding, but this would be so much better, because I could start working on them sooner!

    Thanks for the inspiration!

    Ooooh pretty!  I ordered flowers similar to those from etsy but I was surprised when I got them how small they were so I ended up using them differently than I had planned.  They are so cute though! This is what I did with them:

    @OnceInLove:  You can also get really cool felt and material etc ones on etsy and other online vendors. Very unique.

    Love these though. Will be looking into using them for my own wedding.
