Hehehe..yes they are made of wood...I love them...I dont think I am doing much more to them but I am not reallly sure..I wanted something simple and I think that covers it lol..the only thing I am not sure about is the ribbon around the stems..I am not sure if I did it right or not...but first time doing it I dont think I did so bad..

Did you actually carve those yourself?? Not that i doubt you, I'm just super impressed, they look so real. Are they heavy??

AH okay, I'm coming around..slowly lol. It looks great, I dont think you need anything else if your going for simple. I think a sparkly pink pin on the ribbon would be pretty, but thats me, I like a lil' bling lol. something LIke this:

Wow - that would be great for home decoration - the flower you can use season after season, year after year..

BUT back to the topic - I actually focused on the ribbon when I looked at the picture of the bouquet, and I think it looks fabulous. I really don't know how yall do that o.O maybe I just haven't studied it closely enough.

But from my perspective - it looks lovely and professionally done

how gorgeous! they look SO REAL! how'd you get them to go together so well? i haven't bought one in years, but i remember them being somewhat flimsy. so was it pretty easy to put the bouquets together? and what are the stems made of? i'd love to find these in a soft green, since it's hard to find green silk roses ;) and these aren't solid colored...sorry for so many questions, i keep getting mixed results online lol

here is the color chart for the site that I order from...they are closed for business right now until the 24th must be on vacation..this company is great and gets you the roses to you quick..they have sales all the time I just recently got mine for $0.50 a package so it is soo worth it... they are pretty fragile but they were really easy to put together they are held together with floral tape and the are very bendable to get them the way that u want them...the color chart is har to really tell what the rose is actually going to look like so my suggestion is to order a package or see if they can send you sample so u know what you are getting..hope that helps.

Your bouquet is simply awesome! So beautiful.
I recently purchased a wreath made of wood calla lilies dyed a deep red and got so many compliments on it.
I'm going to check out the link to your supplier to see if I can come up with ideas for DIY projects to decorate my new home.
