99 cent stores

Go to a 99 cent store that specializes in silk flowers. This is a totally wonderful place to get flowers! I was able to make my own bouquet and the bouquets of my bridesmaids (2) and a thowing bouquet, and all the corsages (2) and all the boutonniers (8) for a tiny fraction of the cost it would have taken otherwise!!!!! Some tips in picking out flowers: Try to get the ones that have some texture to the petals (the roses I got, some had viens that make them look more real). I would personnally stay away from roses with hot glue "dew drops" on them. It just doesn't always come out right. If you are getting a spray of roses, count them to make sure they are all there before you buy them.
