very Funky!

Can't say i've seen these available here and i have just about all the wired beads etc (bling!)

You may find them somewhere as xmas decs i.e mini baubles

Does bride intend on 'throwing' the bouquet after the wedding.

Hate to think what insurance premium will be.

Hi
I was shopping in my local Woolworths shop on Saturday and I notice some clear baubles for sale in the Xmas decs section. They were priced at £2.99

You could alsways attach a florist wire to them but make sure is fastened ok.

Regards
Ian

Just 1 idea..depending on the size of the balls..if you know someone who saves all those MFI bits..little plastic washers that are sort of concave and are designed to take a cap to cover the screw head. you could just about poke a wire through the hole and circle it off, then glue the lot to the ball. I bet there are easier ways..but there ya go!
