Dream bouquet complete - Sola flower DIY

I had been planning on doing these for months, and I'm so in love with how all my sola flower bouquets came out! The bouquets are actually simple to put together, but definitely time consuming. I spent a good couple of hours just on the handles over the last couple days. I spent Saturday with 4 of my bridesmaid and they helped a ton with stemming the flowers. I also let them arrange their own bouquet to make it a bit more special.

I spent roughly $200 total. This included about $90 worth of sola flowers, $50 in filler flowers, and the rest in supplies (such as floral tape, wire stems, hot glue, etc) and shipping costs. With that, I was able to create my bouquet, my toss bouquet, 6 bridesmaids bouquets, 7 boutonnieres, 2 corsages, and 13 arrangements for my centerpieces, and 10 flowers left over. I averaged out the costs to be about $22 for my bouquet, and $7/ea for the BMs bouquets. The centerpieces aren't finished to show, but I will when they are complete.

    Thank you ladies so much!

    @CBtoCL - These are the paints I used. I ended up not liking the coral color, so I went back to Michael's the next day to get the light pink. I did mix the pink and coral to make the darker pink color though. In case you can't read the colors, the mint color is "beach glass", light pink is "poodle skirt" and the coral is "crushed coral".

    Thanks for showing off your finished product! I just got my samples yesterday. I can't wait for the weekend! I was looking at save-on-crafts.com, but shipping to Maui is ridiculous! I found an Etsy shop: ZONS Garden. It's out of Thailand, so I was a little bit skeptical, but my order came quickly and in perfect condition. Not quite as much selection, but way better prices. ETA: Better prices after shipping,

    To those who love the look, but wouldn't attempt to DIY, check out etsy! There are a lot of people who make them. Obviously it will be more expensive that what I paid because you'll be paying someone else to do it, but I think it is a good alternative to real florals. Most sellers will work with you if you buy multiple arrangements at once.

    This was one of my inspirational bouquets:

    I would have never attempted this because it would have been a disaster but yours came out AMAZING. seriously, if I had done fake flowers, i would have been really picky but i definitely would have bought yours from an etsy shop. you could totally make a killing off of an etsy shop.
