Florists/artificial Flowers

Daniel, on April 18, 2022 at 16:05 Posted in Wedding ceremony 3 12

Anyone have any have alternatives to getting real flowers for your wedding day? I find that the cost for unnecessarily high. I am planning to get real flowers for my bouquet but was looking for some suggestions for the wedding arch and other decor. Are there any in-stores that sells artificial flowers other than Michaels?

    My fiancee found bulk artificial (silk, I believe) flowers online. $100 bought enough for her bouquet and those of the bridesmaids & MOH as well!

    I have wood flowers instead of the silk. I love that I can paint them any colour I want. Florists/artificial Flowers 3

    Decorators will usually have artificial flowers in their slate of rentals. If you're using a decorator for things like centerpieces, ceremony, drapery, linens, etc then you should talk to them about options.

    Amazon has silk bulk flowers if you do online shopping. I do find its great price for the quantity given.

    Alternative is to rent if you don't want to purchase them and the arch so that the work is done and all you have to do is put it together. There may some places that will have this service.

    You can get flowers at Costco for a couple hundred dollars. They have packages with small bunches planned out.

    My fiance and I went with a florist that does silk flowers. I would look around your area to see what options there are.

    Here's a few pictures of ours. They feel real and look real as well

    Im not sure about where you live, but I'd google silk flower shops. I know where I live there is a warehouse that sells silk flowers and even the associates can help with putting things together. SO Im sure there is one where you live!

    Maybe some ON folks will have some actual suggestions for you!
