What you'll make
Picture the groom, his groomsmen and both dads lined up for photos, each with the same small rose on his lapel that you wrapped the night before. A fresh rose, two of its own leaves and a twist of jute twine look like they came straight from a florist, and they cost about £3 each. The totals below assume six, so add or drop one for every person in your wedding party.
