What you'll make
You build a 25 cm hand-tied bridal bouquet from 12 faux stems from IKEA, bind it with jute string and wrap the handle in cream paper ribbon. The parts cost C$29.35 in total, against C$38.88 for a smaller ready-made faux bouquet on Amazon.ca, so you keep C$9.53. Faux stems do not wilt, so you can make it weeks ahead and stop worrying about it.
