Well I wasnt sure what to do here so i thought who better to ask for advice then the people of WW. I have been looking at ways to cut costs and do some DIY projects partly due to money and partly to enjoy making things.

Well I wasnt sure what to do here so i thought who better to ask for advice then the people of WW. I have been looking at ways to cut costs and do some DIY projects partly due to money and partly to enjoy making things. Well I found these wooden roses and thought they looked gorgeous not only that but with a wedding near valentines i thought they would be a cheaper alternative and I can get as many as i want. Have any of you had any experience with these. Would it be tacky or cheap looking to use them in my bouquets. I was also thinking of giving a personalised wooden rose as a wedding favour as FH has always given me roses and its a symbol for us. What do all of you think

    Since you said you are not a flower person and your wedding is in the winter I think this would be perfect for you. I love the idea of feathers. That is probably the only thing I would consider as a substitute for a traditional floral bridal bouquet. The mixture of the wooden roses, feathers, and beads would probably be amazing and if you are anything like me (wanting to do everything myself so it can be perfected to my liking) this would be a great idea because you can spend time perfecting it without having to worry about it going bad, like flowers. Giving these away as favors is also a great idea. I'm always in favor of having favors that are decorative as well. You could make an arrangement of these at each table as a decoration, then at the end of the night, each person would take one with them.

    That is one of the coolest bouquets I have ever seen! Also using the roses as favors will make a very unique gift.

    I have seen them in person and they can be really beautiful. I do think that some colors are better than others. If they fit in your budget and you love them I say go for it!
