diy Boutonnières?

I would look at youtube, I found some great ones for when I tried them. I think they are $30+ fresh made for you

View Quoted Comment I’ll take a look at YouTube! Thank you! $30/each?

View Quoted Comment Sorry, they average $10-$20 each, I was thinking corsages I think

A real boutonniere could be about $15. I made my own with fresh flowers and it was pretty simple (bought bulk flowers and made bouquets, etc. too). I just watched some DIY videos on youtube.

Look at your local grocery store. Many florists can give you a great price if you know what you’re looking for.

I made 6 of them and found it pretty easy after watching a few YouTube videos. I used artificial flowers from Michaels.

We made these! Are you making sure that you wrap the entire bottom heavily in floral tape or covering it with something like we did with the shotgun shells? You also have to cut the individual stems much smaller than it seems like they should be so that when you combine the separate pieces together it isn’t huge lol good luck!

View Quoted Comment These are great! I haven’t tried making any yet. I just can’t seem to find flowers that look right together. My FH said to go for it, but wants something somewhat masculine. That’s where I blank! I’m going to have to really look around for the right flowers!

View Quoted Comment Maybe you should try taking him to hobby lobby with you and see if he likes anything if he has something in mind! I know if I was making them I would question whether he liked everything so it would just make it easier if he picked it!

I didn’t look at coats for real ones, but I’m making my boutonnières. I went to hobby lobby and got some roses (ones before they bloom so not too large) from the wedding section, some leaves and smaller flowers from their floral section and ribbons (both 50% off). I ordered floral tape and wire on amazon for cheap. I think the whole thing cost about $20, and it’s more than enough for 3 pieces. You’ll have left over with the wire and floral tape, but better than not having any.

I am thinking of doing all of ours, 12 total, with help of my mother who is super crafty. My florist quoted all of the bouts in our package over $200 so I figured we could do them cheaper. I appreciate the info and tips here.
