Are you into flowers for your bouquets but thinking paper might be the way to go to keep them forever? These big paper flower bouquets I found on Etsy create a gorgeous, huge flower impact. So flippin' pretty, amirite?

The artist creates these large Italian crepe paper flowers with a spread of green leaves. She says the paper is more like a sturdy fabric in texture, so it should have a lovely, realistic look. You can totally choose the flower color, too. It's the bonus of using paper flowers instead of real ones - complete customization.

Plus, these big paper flower bouquets look fab as a set!:

ICYMI: even more giant flower awesomeness:

Anyone DIYing their own paper flowers or buying some premade? What vendors should we know about?
