Instead of paying $10-15/piece for live flowers (and then supplying them for 13 people) I can probably make the flower accessories for about $70 total.
On top of which, these would not need to be misted, refrigerated, delivered, etc.
Below are the designs I saw on etsy which are the baseline inspiration for the corsages and boutonnieres I want to make.
Below are the relatively inexpensive supplies I found online.
These feathers were found here.
