I never thought of wooden roses! They look awesome.

I didn't either until I stumbled on them on e-bay and changed my whole world LOL

Ha! Wooden roses! They look great! :)

I was thisclose to using wooden roses, but the site I was going to use wasn't reliable. :(

I got mine on e-bay. They are very pretty. What did you end up using?

I was going to go with woodyaflowers.com, but they didn't label their samples (and it's incredibly difficult to tell the difference between colors), when they ran out of a color I chose they just sent me something else instead of asking me if I still wanted it (which would not be good if it was The Big Order), and a lot of the flowers had chips in them or big glue globs. It was just a mess.

Instead I'm going through afloral.com (who is amazing by the way!) and I'm getting a gazillion pink, cream, and hot pink, silk daisies. :)

http://www.petalbypetal.com/ were the ones I got them from through ebay. I picked all the colors. Sometimes dye lots are off and when I got the lavender roses they looked pink. He would have exchanged them for me but I figured I would have MORE than enough flowers and the pink might come in handy (which it did)There are a few that have some chips in them or a discoloration but that is the nature of working with wood. I was really happy with them and their percentage of chipped or discolored roses was VERY small. Out of 800 I have only thrown 1 away because it was unuseable.
