    With thingy being a techincal term...I need help!  I've seen pictures of these but now that I actually want to find one, I can't.  And I can't google them because I don't know what they're called! 

    To describe - flower balls (I suppose) with ribbon attached to allow them to hang.  I've seen people use them as decoration to pews and chairs and also as an alternative to bouquets. 

    Please tell me they aren't called flower balls!!

    sometimes if you search for "pomanders" you get the ones made of fruit. You may also try "kissing balls" but . . . uh, be careful what you click on. What are those flower thingys called? :  wedding Icon Redface

    Aren't pomanders generally done with fruit?  Or am I thinking of something different?

    If you Google Image "wedding pomanders" you might get a better selection, otherwise just scroll down to the bottom of the images and you'll get back the Christmas oranges. :)

    I know - I was trying to find a way to phrase it nicely because I also am trying to explain it to my extremely mature FH.  I'm sure that he'll want to use them just because I said balls.

    Thank you karie!!  That was the original website that I saw them on, but you know that I could not think of it when I actually wanted to!

    Is it bad that I'm still chuckling at Sweeney?

    Of course! That is always the way! That is why I have a million sites now saved as my "favorite" so I don't loose the info when I need it later!

    I hope I can show you my kissing balls I made. Both are made from a 5" ball, but if I can post the picture, you'll see that one was make with larger flowers, and the other with smaller flowers.  The smaller flowers look better, as it's more appropriate "size-wise" for a little girl, (my flower girl). The ball hanging on the left side, I used larger roses, and it's waaaay big and it's also heavy too! Didn't look right for a little girl.

    Here's a website I used...to DIY (do it yourself):

    Wat - no way it's not bad you're still laughing at me. I'm now pictureing us as Beavis-ette and Butt head-ette in wedding dresses sitting by each other say "huhuhuhuh. You said Balls", "ha ha hah ah Thingy"

    LOL

     

    I need a nap or something....lol

    BabeMuneca, they look awesome! The website with the instructions apparently doesn't exist though - any chance you can check the link?

    Were they made with fresh or um.. faux flowers?
