Yes, I'm THAT Crazy!

I have lost my mind.

I've found some pictures of some beauties and the wheels in my head started turning. (Well.. they started turning AFTER I was quoted for over $300 for ONE bouquet!..)

Ready to ohhh and ahhh with me?


Oh yes.


Ooooo!


Ahhhhh!


Squuuueeee!


OOOOOO!


AHH!!

And guess what those are? Oh yeah... CLAY FLOWERS! Aren't they amazing!! Yeah, I thought so, too. And I also found THIS bouquet, that I actually got the quote on...



So, what did I do since this was WAYYY out of the budget? I googled. And then I googled some more.

Know what I found? TUTORIALS!! OH YES! I actually realized that they really aren't all that much different than my crepe paper flowers that I have mastered over the past couple months. They are practically the same thing, if not a little easier since it's clay.

I thought to myself.. "Self.. you could TOTALLY do that and make your own bouquet and bridesmaids and bouts.. OH MY!" And you know what, I can! I know I can because I've actually made a couple clay roses in college!!

So.. I ordered some clay today. That's right.. it's ordered, there is no stopping me now! Except, now I just have to wait for it to arrive here from Hawaii. lol. But best believe that as soon as I get that package.. I'm ripping it open and giving it a go. Then I'll be right back here posting pictures for you all! I'm awesome like that.

You can thank me later for the bouquet porn. =D

  2. Those are gorgeous! AND i love the original bouquet you got quoted on...I haven't met with any florists yet...if you don't mind me asking, what was it about that bouquet that knocked it up to $300? (Because if I get quoted that much, I may just have to ask you where you bought your clay, LOL).

  4. $300 for a bouquet? That seems pretty high. In Vancouver I was quoted between $150 to around $175 for my bouquet. However, the clay flowers look amazing!! I hope you'll post a tutorial for us!
