That sounds really nice! Do you know where she found the silk flowers?

My fiancee is making her own bouquet and the ones for her bridesmaids. She found some beautiful silk flowers and is putting them together with baby's breath and some others. Total cost was a little over $100.

We went with a florist who does artificial flowers for a fraction of the cost of what real flowers would cost. So we bought all of our flowers for bouquets corsages boutonnieres and centerpieces. We've had ours made up for almost a year now but bought the flowers almost 3 years ago. She put all the flowers together so we wouldn't have to worry about putting them together ourselves and everything is completely done for when the big day arrives and not have to rush around to put them together the day before hand.

Sounds cool!! 😄

Do you still have her name and contact information? 😁

I found a girl who is amazing at doing silk flowers for me and my girls. she managed to find the most beautiful silk flowers, you can't tell they are fake. I found her on Market place. She's cheaper than buying professionally with real flowers and I get to keep my bouquet.

If you are great at making your own go for it, but if you get real flowers you will not have time to do finishing touches the day before, you want to take that time to relax and not stress.

You have lots of time to do Practice DIY's.

Thanks a lot for the advice, I hadn’t thought about that 😄

If you're doing all silk flowers, then DIY/making it yourself can be worth it. But because you intend on using some fresh flowers, it's a lot of work for the day of the wedding. You can do it the night before (and even then I feel like it's too much work for a day when you have a million other things in mind) but the white roses won't be as fresh and nice looking.
