DIY - Orchid Boutonnières

Sorry for the interruption but I'm back to update! It's been a whirlwind of events the last few months but it was so worthwhile. While I was gone, I planned a wedding in Austin, moved it to Michigan within 6 weeks to go, and finally got married. Now that is over, I can spend some time documenting all my DIY projects.
One of my wedding colors was watermelon pink and it was probably one of the hardest color to match up. Since I was planning a wedding afar, I figured it was most reasonable to DIY my groom and groomsmen bouts with silk flowers. I wanted Phalaenopsis Orchids to be exact but the color was impossible to find. What is a girl to do when she wanted a color, paint them :)

I found these silk flowers at Joann's for $5.99 a stem. There were 7 buds on there, just enough for the mens.
