Originally I only had the white calla lilies but really wanted to add some color so I added the green cymbidium orchids and they look great, my bridesmaids dresses are coral.

The supplies I used:

14" real touch calla lily in white (one dozen per bouquet)

 

**Make sure you Google coupons if you order off of afloral.com - I was able to find coupons each time I ordered :)

 

I haven't wrapped my bouquets yet but I will post pictures once they are finished! I'm really pleased the way they turned out, they look so real!!

 

Feel free to let me know if you have any questions!!!

 

Good job! Thanks for the tips on how to DIY.  I'm thinking of doing real touch flowers.  My color is peach. pretty closer to coral.

Hi Natalie!  You did such an amazing job with your bouquet.  Love the brooch idea.  Do you mind sharing on how you attached them?  Oh and I'm getting married at the same resort.  What did you do with the bouquet included in the package?  Did you give it to someone else?

Hi! 

I used floral wire (hobby lobby carries very pliable wire that i could twist with my hands).  I made those into "stems" with the brooch as the flower, and then bought real touch hydrangeas in peach and basically just placed them throughout the bouquet. It took a very long time to get that last part right, but was worth it in the end. I just googled how to make one, searched on this website and then decided what the best way for me was. 

 

The bouquet that came in the package- they would not let me give it to a bridesmaid, so I just said I didnt need it. We didnt do a bouquet toss, because there was only about three single women/girls there, but if you were going to do that I would suggest getting the free bouquet for that! :) 

Good luck! You will love BBPD! It is amazing and Im ready to go back!

Thank you so much!  I finally went to hobby lobby and those real touch flowers definitely feel real, but there were only a few selections at the store.  I think I will be doing a bouquet toss, so I will probably use the free bouquet for that.  Thank you again and hope married life is going well.

HI Natalieblev,

I love your bouquet!!!  Did you get the broaches on Hobby Lobby as well?  I love the elephant one and I think my FI would love that detail on mine.

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
