@purple_sofia: My lord those are gorgeous! I really like the idea of paper and wood flowers. So creative an nice. Good job!
@Cantstartafire1: Thank you so much! Funny how well the process went considering we never talked and exchanged emails. She was super nice and professional.
@Pearberry: Thank you! There was nothing similar in color when looking at her work, but I pictured them and she recreated them perfectly! I made a few tweeks to what she showed me and she was great to work with and made the changes based on my few suggestions. I am so happy with the outcome!
I came across a wood flower bouquet seller and fell in love!!!!! Your pictures just confirm my feelings. They are so beautiful. I know I want my bouquet to be wood but I found some paper flower bouquets on Etsy I like for my maids. I can't decide if that would be weird.
These are great, I love them! Are you going to put them on display after your wedding? Maybe in a shadow box or something?
@purple_sofia: love them, were did you get them. I am plannig of using wood flowers too. I am in Nj and have a low budget. My wedding colors are gray and plum
Did you use Accents and Petals?? I posted mine from her on here a while back. Loooooved them!
OMGeeee!
Beautiful! Can you please tell me what site(s) I can go to get these made for my wedding in May?
I too am interested in going this route?
However, what happens to the bouquets the bridesmaids have? Do you just let them keep them? I'm guessing you can't really sell them, or can you? I guess with acutal flowers you just throw those away anyway....
@purple_sofia: OMG!! I love love love these! They are just beautiful!! Can you post the website so I can go check it out? I will be married in the Sierra Mountains on the shore of Lake Tahoe and these would be perfect!! Thanks!
I would also be curious as to where the flowers for these have come from.
I found the lady who does these beautiful bouquets. Here is the website
@scqt13: I have all my bridesmaids. They really had no use for them so I'm going to try to sell them. Keeping mine though!
and for those asking about costs: I spent around $320 for 7 BM bouwets, mine, 10 bouts and a bunch of loose flowers. They ship from the Phillipines so that's expensive but I still thought it was a great price!
@Robin_Sparkles: Was the shipping really expensive? I really like these, and I would like a ball park figure on what it will cost to ship them.
Thanks!!
@thumpurr: I don't think it was that bad. $320 was my total with shipping so still waaaaay cheaper than real flowers! I'm sure if you contacted her with what you wanted she could give you an estimate. Just make sure you order early. The shipping takes a while with customs.
@Robin_Sparkles: Thanks! I will be ordering in about 5-6 months. Was any of your items damaged from being shipped from so far away? I have been looking at the website and I just really like what she creates. And your bouquets are just beautiful!
@thumpurr: nope! They wer all perfect, she packs them really well.
These are so beautiful!! I'm really impressed with the quality of her work!
Gorgeous! Love the colors and the fact that they will last.
Sorry for not responding sooner to all of these messages and questions! The seller has a Facebook page called "Accents & Petals" - where you can message her as well. She sells through a website called ArtFire.com and there are pre-made bouquets and things to browse:

The shipping for all of the bouquets, pomander, and boutonierres was about $50 I believe.

Hi All! I can't remember exactly where I came across this seller in the Phillipines who hand makes wood flower bouquests, but I emailed her and decided I loved them! The process took about 6 or 8 weeks and with shipping another week or so. I specified the color combination and any flowers that I like or didnt like. She emailed me pictures of the progress and listened to exactly what I wanted. I am SO happy with the outcome! My bouquets has both wood flowers accented with fozzilized flowers (created from leaves!) and crystal accents. The cost was also a plus for me - since it was actually cheaper to go this route. That was a bonus as I prefered these! And, one of my friends said "and you can keep it forever" - I hadnt even thought of that but thats a bonus too.
