Really Cool Alternative to Wedding Flowers

So I have been trying to figure out what I am doing with flowers and I was looking on etsy.com and stumbled upon clay bouquets, the creator has her own website http://www.dkdesignshawaii.com/ She makes the most incredible flowers! So I contacted her and am in the process of planning out my bouquet, flowers for my hair and my grooms boutonniere. I wanted to be able to keep my bouquet forever instead of it turning brown in a day and I am not a fan of silk flowers. I think you guys should totally check her out! Let me know what you think.

Here is some of her work

I'm sure the prices can range, but can you give me an approxiamation on how much a bouquet for a bride would cost?

This is what Diane (the designer) sent me when
I asked her the same question.

The flowers are super light. There's hardly any weight to them at all. It's like paper (that's why you sometimes here air dry clay termed paper clay). All the brides that I have sold to have loved it! Plus it doesn't brown or wilt on your wedding day!

Honestly I think it is maybe a little more but it depends on what flowers you get because some are more labor intensive than others. I think my bouquet is around 25 more than the normal bouquet costs but this way I get to keep it forever! :)
