I really like this first picture for my bouquet and my bridesmaids would be similar, but smaller. I found thee silk flowers on amazon that I think I’m going to use. Just two questions I’m looking for opinions on. 1) what green leafs should I add if I want to create it similar to the first bouquet. 2) should I include white roses for my bridesmaids or both mine and theirs. Also has anyone ever ordered flowers from amazon?

I really love the look with the white roses! I think it would look good in both yours and your bridesmaids bouquets.

Thanks for the suggestion. I made an inquiry about their preserved roses about a week ago and no response.

I agree with this, but I have a girlfriend who has purchased stuff from them before and am going to have her help me figure it out!
As for greenery, eucalyptus is pretty and relatively inexpensive. You could always go in to a florist and ask about prices, etc, without mentioning that you're doing it yourself, of course!

Yes, I think someone once told me alibaba was a good place to get flowers, but searching the website is annoying. I wish they could just make it easier on us

The lack of prices on the website too is really frustrating...

I think you should just do red. That will look awesome with the blue dresses! It looks like theresmaybe some babys breath in there too

I totally agree about Michaels. I found no flowers from there that I liked and trying to look at their website was just confusing.

We are going with silk flowers since my fiancé is allergic and since it is a winter wedding. Otherwise I would have more real flower lol.

I honestly haven't found a place yet personally but theres been a few threads around here that have mentioned some other online places! I ho early even find Michael's to not have the best quality... and you would really think so for the price they charge

My SIL made bouquets for our wedding and she ordered the flowers, including roses, from Costco. She made the bouquets Thursday evening and they still looked fresh Saturday. One bridesmaid left her bouquet at the venue, not in water, and when we picked it up Sunday afternoon, I was surprised at how little it had wilted!

We aren’t doing flowers for the centre pieces as my fiancé is allergic. The only real flowers will be our bouquets and maybe some wall paper flowers. Is there another

Good luck!! I was actually hunting around on Amazon to try and do my own centre pieces!
A few words of warning... Make sure you find out if the roses are on the stems too! I have ordered a batch of roses and it was just the heads (woops), also see if you can find the size of the rose head listed (don't just go off the image) I feel the roses I got always came a lot smaller than I was expecting? I haven't played with it much since my 2 disappointments... but I want to venture into the amazon florals again!
Also beware they do tend TO LOOK VERY FAKE. Close up shots of the bouquests might not be in your best interest but at a distance they look amazing and for sure worth the costs!

Love these! Are your girls wearing red? If so, I'd mix in white, or just do white and greenery for theirs. All red for yours will be such a beautiful, vibrant pop of colour!
I haven't ordered flowers on Amazon, but they have such an easy return policy, it shouldn't be an issue if it's not what you'd hoped!
