Has anyone done a Giant card stock flower photo backdrop?

We were looking into a giant flower photo backdrop for our wedding. The prices are extremely high. I was wondering if anyone has attempted to do one on their own?

These are the giant, medium, large white cardstock flowers that you attach to the photo backdrop via foam board with wire OR to curtain using Velcro. It creates a whole overlapping floral wall for the photo's.

Anyone try it on their own? Thanks,

    Hi Carmela:

    In a previous post of Melissa's look for the Martha Stewart link. The punch is for petals for a Hydrangea. I am so trying this one. I bought 1/2 foam balls that were hollowed out and will be putting the petals on that - just waiting to hear from Melissa as to which paper she used for these? Bought nice pearl tip pins at fabricland.

    HI Melissa:

    A few of us are wondering which flowers you used velum for and which ones you used the cardstock for?

    Thanks,

    Melissa,

    I am so happy I came across this discussion. I am about to forgo the challenge of making a paper flower back drop as well. I have a few questions. How much paper did you end up using in total roughly if you can recall? Also did you create the backdrop that was holding the flowers as well? Do you have any suggestions for places to purchase the cardstock paper? I hope you get a chance to answer these question. I know I am a few years late with my post. Thanks so much in advance!!
