My DIY BoK w/ pics (still in progress)

I was really busy yesterday. I rhinestoned my initials on my shoes

I completed my Jr. BM BoK's and just need to finish the ribbon wraps on the BM's BoK's(i'd share pics but left photos on my FH's laptop )

I am 95% finished on my BoK, still working on completing the ribbon wrap and other small adjustments. What do you think?

I also did a matching kissing ball for my FG

Curious, if you don't mind my asking:
How much less expensive was this than real flowers--30%, 50%?

If you don't mind. I'm nosy.

Edited to say what I forgot: They are really nice.

i never priced fresh (for alergy/asthma reasons) so i don't know what they would run.

i had seen full rounds done in silk and i was quoted numerous times around the $100 mark

i did mine for considerably less AND enjoyed doing it!!

Very impressive. I would have never thought that artificial flowers would look this great.
You did a fabulous job!!

i've been told that, but its always different to do something for yourself up to your own expectations, as compared to doing something for someone else and their expectations. i don't think i'd want that on my shoulders
