One of the biggest items on my budget was my bouquets.
Well I don't want anything extravagant, my only true requirement was pink daisies. :)
When I went to Dollar Tree to pick up the flowers for my centerpieces I found that they had a ton of daisies that looked as good as the ones at Hobby Lobby for a fraction of the price. $1 per bush! I bought 5 bushes~ 3 of them were all pink and the other two were white, pink, and red. (tossed the red)
I removed all the flowers from the "bushes" by cutting the wires at the bases. Next I removed the leaves and had a fantastic pile of flowers.
I bent the stems near the top to make the flowers arch over and then gathered them in my hand and arranged them that way.
When I had them the way I liked them I wrapped rubber bands around them to keep them in place.
Next I used some more floral tape and wrapped it all around the stems to keep them together.
I finished them each off with some navy blue ribbon that I had laying around. And ta-da! Done!

Edit: I edited this! Had a change of heart about the bouquets last weekend and decided to redo them. I made both of these a little bigger and then redid my bouquet for another $6.
Here's my new updated bouquet!

Thank you! So glad I could help!
