    We went with paper flowers and it was one of the highlights of our wedding! I loved the paper flowers because they were so unique and went with our theme. They were also less expansive, lightweight, you could choose any colour and you don't have to worry about them wilting! I now have my bridal bouquet in a vase as a centerpiece. We had put some individual flowers out on the tables and some of our guests took them home and now have them on display because they loved them so much!

    It's really hard to say since we're on a tight budget. Although my aunt makes bouquets & any decorations with flowers, so we might go with real! If not, a wonderful lady on here gave me a link to beautiful realistic looking (fake) flowers on an Etsy page. 😀 I was also thinking pumpkins, real/fake autumn leaves, decorated pinecones, DIY stuff with wood (thank you, Pinterest 😂), ahh the list goes on. I have too many ideas. 😂 We're having our wedding next October, so there's lots of time to browse Pinterest. 😂🍁☺

    We are going with real flowers for everything. i found an amazing florist for a great price, plus I just really prefer the look of real flowers, especially for bouquets and bigger arrangements.

    I'm thinking faux flowers for bouquets simply because I seem to be allergic to every freaking flower out there lol. Skipping flowers for centerpieces as well and going with a rustic mason jar centerpiece I think.

    We're going with faux flowers (www.afloral.com), for the simple reason that it's going to be less expensive. I'll be able to get exotic/out of season flowers for cheap.

    We were going to go with silk floral arrangements for our centrepieces but decided on real.

    We are having real flowers. I like the look and feel of them better than faux (though faux has come a long way!).

    We made bouquets using artificial flowers. I'll be having some real flowers for my centre pieces.

    We were lucky enough to be given our flower package as a gift, so we went with real flowers. I love the look of real flowers, though silk has come a long way!

    I like real flowers for bouquets! We did real flowers for the bouquets and boutonnieres. For our centerpieces we put some fake flowers in there, but it was mainly a candle centerpiece anyways; the flowers just add some colour!
