Just a personal tip - I made my own bouquets from artificial flowers - now granted not everybody likes the fake flowers but for me personally they were perfect. Not only did they look real, they were much more manageable and can be twisted and taped more securely, but the best bit - they are still sitting in a vase in my living room 12 years later and still looking fab!!!
Give it a try it's not as hard as it looks, trust me :)
