Paper Flowers

As much as I love flowers, I can't justify spending lots of money on them for one night. So instead, we are having book page flowers! We  have been collecting candle stick holders as we find them at local thrift stores, all costing less than $2 each. The paper flowers are pinned into foam balls which cost less than 50 cents a piece. And so far, I have only had to use one book I already had. We plan on making at least 30, three for each table, however I have a feeling we will end up making a few more. On average, flowers for a wedding cost $2,000. By the time all of mine are completed, we will have spent less than $100!
