D.I.Y.: Paper flowers put to good use
I don’t know if you’ve seen the D.I.Y. project involving some serious twigs and cute paper flowers, but I found the most awesome example of someone who really took it and made it their own. It just goes to show you, that just one D.I.Y. project can go a long way.
The original project by Dozi. Find the tutorial here
D.I.Y.: Fabric Boutonnieres
I love these fabric flower boutonnieres, mostly because I hate the idea of wasting so much money on expensive flowers that will basically die days later. These are a great alternative, you can customise the fabric to go with any theme.
