($0) Doing dried flowers for bridemaids

My wedding budget is $20k and my partner and I have been right at this limit. There's so many incidental expenses coming up, I decided to not have my florist do flowers for my bridesmaids, but to let them assemble some dried flowers together. Mostly grasses, a few plumes, and starflower (https://www.charleslittleandcompany.com/dried-flowers). my mom says it looks like weeds. My Fiance doesn't get why we don't just pay the florist to assemble their bouquet.

Dried flowers was $60. My florist would be $250. I'm so tired of the incidental expenses I just want to save where I can. I picked flowers in our colorscape and they will only be holding these for ceremony. I don't want to do fresh flowers from the store because I do not want to be responsible for picking up or getting ANYTHING my wedding weekend.

Anyways. Has anyone has experience dried flowers for bridesmaid and bride doing a fresh bouquet.
