Making my own Artifical Bouquets?
Use a water-based floral spray paint on any flowers made of a porous fabric. Water-based floral paints are not toxic or flammable like regular spray paints, and they don't make the silk stiff, as many other paints do. If you are buying flowers specifically to paint them, look for the low-cost white petals rather than the more expensive colored ones.



Steps:



Shake the can of paint for one minute, then spray each flower lightly. If the color is too intense, spray the wet paint with water to dilute it.

Let each flower dry for 30 minutes, or use a hair dryer for faster results.

To add a second color to the edges of the petals, spray the paint into a pan or bowl, and dip the edges of the petals into it. To soften the color, spray the flower with water.
Reply:Most craft stores offer a wide variety of colorful silk flowers. It would save a lot of time on your wedding date, and the flowers won't wilt or die!

I think some of them you have to buy more than one stem, but you'll probably need more than one anyways.

check out this place. they have great artificial flowers they will make for you and its not that expensive. they email you what your order looks like before they ship it so you know what your getting.
Reply:Google it you can find anything that way. You might also want to check with craft stores in your area even check with Wal-Mart, some of them have a large artificial flower selection. Also remember that if you don't see it in the store that does not mean that they can not order a special kind or color for you.
