If you’re trying to save money by doing things yourself, wedding flowers can be a bit of a tricky area – let’s face it – you want to be as un-stressed as possible in the days leading up to your wedding, and making your bouquets and floral arrangements probably shouldn’t be high on your personal agenda the day before you say “I do”. Sure, you could get a friend to make them for you, but if you want them over and done with weeks in advance, here are a couple of unique ideas:
Origami Kusudama flowers. Photo by EmilyKuPhoto.com.
Origami Kusadama flowers were used as centerpieces in this beautiful wedding. WikiHow and FoldingTree have great tutorials for Kusudama flowers.
These fabric poppy boutonnieres could look lovely on some of your special guests and family members. Click the image for the tutorial.
These beautiful flowers are sewn from Cotton Jersey fabric. The book or kit may be purchased from PurlSoho.com (click the image).
These cute felt flowers would work great at a Bridal Shower or a wedding (though maybe not in a coke can 
). Click the image for the tutorial.
I think these paper flowers are really cute! Click the picture to see the instructions for a similar flower tutorial that you could adapt (or to buy these from the seller).
Once Wed provides a great tutorial for making these little fabric boutonnieres, that could also work well as centerpieces. (click the image for the tutorial)
Of course, Martha brings us these gorgeous boutonnieres made from crepe paper. Click the image for all her flower tutorials.
Ok, so not strictly a diy flower project, but these paper covered vases are way cute! Click the image for the instructions.
I'm drooling over these! Ok, so they're not a floral arrangement per se, but here are some wedding invitations with floral fabric *sewn* onto them. Click the image for the free tutorial!
So the great thing about these flowers? You can keep them for a long time! Will you be incorporating faux flowers in your wedding? I’d love to hear and see what you come up with!
They also have a bunch of adorable flower kits at Paper-Source.com!
DIY flowers are a great centerpiece idea because people can take them home and they won’t go bad. Have you heard of people spraying perfume on DIY flowers? I heard it from someone but was wondering if it was a common thing to do.
