Can anyone help a friend of mine...wedding flowers question

This is from a friend of mine...need some low cost ideas!

"I am getting married the 26th of October. Well, I have decided to try and make my own flowers to save money. Has anyone else done this or have any suggestions for me. Or if any of you have time to do some browsing the internet for me to find examples of things that you think would be easy for me... that would be great. I am also going to do my own hair and maybe try to make my own headpiece. We are going to make centerpieces for the tables too. I could use you alls input and suggestions and or comments. Every little bit helps. Thanx a ton."

My Mother and I made my flowers for my wedding. We went to Frank's (a craft store) and bought the kits to make the silk flowers (not really out of silk). It was cheaper then, but it may be cheaper nowadays to buy them already made. We have a store called The Dollar Zone, and it has really nice fake flowers (not plastic) for about half of what Walmart charges. If you have any flea markets close, you might try them also. There's usually at least one booth that has flowers cheap, but pretty nice.
We didn't do it, but I've seen some people get the spray glue, and after making the bouquets, they lightly spray with glue, then sprinkle clear glitter over it. It makes it so pretty in the light. Just a thought...good luck with them!!!!

My friend made her own table centerpieces. She bought wreaths and covered them with silk flowers. Then, in the center, she put a nice glass candle holder. They were very pretty and inexpensive.

Will try to think of others and write more later when I have more time.
