Cost & Quality

Time is Valuable

If you decide that felt flowers are what you have been looking for you need to understand the time that is involved to create your wedding accessories, in particular the wedding and bridesmaids bouquets. You may be thinking that a second grader could cut out felt shaped like flowers and attach a button, however the idea behind the Lissylane felt flower is much more than that. Firstly, Lissylane felt flowers are more than just cut out pieces of felt.

Every single felt flower is hand stitched with matching thread, painstakingly ensuring that every stitch is perfectly aligned and the final product is as neat as possible. The time involved with making a single felt flower, whether it be for a bouquet or a corsage, takes at least 30 minutes to make (that's the absolute bare minimum). However, it is your flowers, which means that you can do as much or as little to each flower as you feel necessary. You can choose to add extra detail or make each flower very simple.

I'm sure many people see the Lissylane felt flowers and think "that's easy, I could do that!!"  and the truth is yes, you would be able to make your own, after all we are talking about DIY unique wedding flowers. However, the time involved to make a high quality felt product is extremely long and therefore, like everything, you need to weigh up the value of the time that it takes to make something yourself as opposed to other options.

I have heard time and time again brides deciding to DIY wedding invitations just to turn around after completing one invite to realise the time and effort involved and by the completion of the job admit they should have just payed for someone to make them instead. Now don't get me wrong, my wedding was very much DIY and I enjoyed every moment of it, but we are not all the same, so it really is a personal choice. Time is valuable when planning a wedding. 

Quality Products made to Perfection with Quality Materials

You would all also agree that when creating anything, practise makes perfect and let's just say...I've had a lot of practise! It does take some time to master DIY felt flowers however quality materials go a long way towards making a perfect felt flower. As you make your wedding accessories you, like myself will have a very high attention to detail, after all they are for one of the biggest days of your life! 

Search for quality products for all your wedding creations and have a 'no settle' policy. If you are not 100% satisfied with the quality of the craft materials then don't use them to make your flowers. You wouldn't accept low quality fabric for your wedding dress so treat your DIY craft supplies exactly the same!
