From the very beginning I knew that I wanted to have sunflowers at our wedding. Mr. B doesn't have an opinion on flowers. My problem is that I am not very confident with the local florists in town. They are just your standard florist shops, nothing really special that sets them apart. I would probably get very traditional flowers and likely over pay as well. Mom & I decided that we could DIY the flowers. I did have to talk her out of using silk flowers. I just don't like how silk sunflower look most of the time. After finding a few wholesale sunflower suppliers online I started searching google for inspiration.

And a hand tied bouquet for me is DIYable as well:

You are brave! I'm sure they'll Look fabulous.I really like the 3rd pic down of the sunflowers and the old lantern.
I have heard the DIY flower route isn't as hard as you would think. i thought about doing it myself, but I have 6 Bridesmaids and I figured that would be a bit too much. Then I found a really great priced florist, so i lucked out.
You'll have to post how your trials turn out!
You can get these at afloral.com for about 10 bucks!
