    Wanted: Bouquet help, please?

    My wedding is in 2 months. I'm freaking out because I have no bouquets (for me or my 2 bridesmaids) and eBay seems to have a shortage.

    Does anyone make bouquets? I'm happy to pay someone to do it. Or can someone at least give me some ideas please?

    TIA

    Silk? I got mine on eBay at JustParadise888, she has a store and us based in Qld. My wedding was in 2007 and I loved and still have mine. She created a custom package for me I can pm the eBay store link if you can't find it.

    Thanks Amaunet.

    It has to be silk, as I'm allergic to latex. I'm really struggling to find a bouquet (a cheap one, as money isn't flowing at the moment) thats not made completely of latex.
    I'm not anephalatic, but I do swell.

    I made the bouquets for both mine and my uncles wedding and have just been asked to do a friends wedding as well.

    The best tip I can give you is scour the $2 shops and other places like that, spotlight is also good.

    I was able to make mine and my bridesmaids bouquets (3 in total) for around $100 and my uncles cost them around $80 for the bride and her 3 bridesmaids.

    Feel free to PM me if you think I might be able to help in anyway, I'm on Tapatalk at the moment so can't see where you're from. I also have photos if you would like to see my work.

    My bridesmaids had one single rose each with a ribbon around it - I wanted it for the look but it is an idea if you're on a budget as it doesn't cost as much as a bouquet.

    There is a lady on facebook who makes wooden roses and does wedding boquets. "Eternal Memories Wooden Flowers". They are beautiful

    Can you maybe have a look around for some pretty fans or a spray of feathers with a few long stemmed flowers for your bridesmaids - places like lincraft and spotlight have some cool stuff for reasonable prices and it looks a little different to flowers but still pretty

    I was going to use her for ours so I went and had a look at her store as I'm in qld and she does great work she also makes custom packages too and they were pretty cheap.

    I've found some, they were pretty expensive but DP wanted me to have them. We've spent so little on the wedding and he said its the one thing to splash out on.

    They're gorgeous orange calla lillies with hot pink roses.

    Its a 10pc set and worth every cent. They won't be here til last week of August.

    Thanks for your help, guys!

    A new trend that is around is lollipop bouquets. On fb look up floral creations. There in nsw but have done some amazing ones. They add some feathers, can have any design or color. Really a standout.
