Real vs fake flowers?

Hi Georgie, I'm pretty much having silk flowers due cost and I feel that since real flowers don't last long, it would be a shame to waste money for this area as it can go to other expenses. I think silk flowers are beautiful and great just like the real one. Also it great to have silk flowers in case some guest may have allergies.

I will be having real flowers for all my bouqets and boutineres ... as well as my centerpieces, my toss bouqet tho is made from burlap and lace and silk handmade flowers with broaches ... its stunning

Thank you ! They ended up a little narrower than I thought, so we might go with some smaller vases. Will look at Michaels again tomorrow to see what they have

Thank you

They look FANTASTIC!

Perfect! What a steal of a deal

Hehe I wouldn't stress! I think I am just ultra-keen and excited, and the flowers had been on my mind for a while so I wanted to get them done when I had a bit of free time

I feel very behind now! We are getting married in the same timeframe and I have barely got started with my DIYs!

I showed the boutineeres but not the flowers yet, I will wait until theyre done! 4 bridesmaids and 3 groomsmen will be in our wedding party.

That's amazing Brittany!! Are they the ones you showed in your discussion?

How many people do you have in your wedding party?

I hope you'll keep us posted on the DIYs you make!!

Feel free to create discussions in the DIY group anytime, it will be such an inspiration to see what you're up to!

Will you put these in mason jars?

I purchased my wedding party bouqets and boutineeres today. They're fake and will be assembled by my future mother in law. We spent a grand total of $80. That only includes about half my bouquet and we didnt buy any decor flowers but I'm very pleased!

Thanks! I'm happy with how they turned out

Way to go! They are beautiful!

I ended up going to Michaels. $200 and 5 hours later, I have my bouquets ready for the reception tables!!!

Hi Georgie I'm so happy you started this discussion! You're inspiration images are absolutely gorgeous!! I love the style you are going for. In what kind of venue will you celebrate your wedding?

You should have a look at the vendors in our directory, some of them also make amazing "fake" flower arrangements:

Your decorations sound absolutely amazing! I can't wait to see pictures of how they'll look like!

Will they be DIY?

Oh that decor sounds so lovely!!! And 2 tables is so wonderfully intimate, like it's a big family dinner!

Thanks for the website! So many lovely arrangements. I will certainly spend some time looking!
As Im having 2 long tables, I will have burlap & lace runners, ivory votive candle holders on wood slices, mason jars with flowers, and some sweet decorative wooden keys and filigree hearts

Those are beautiful inspiration pictures! I usually just get my fake flowers from Michaels or craft stores, but I did a quick search and found this site https://www.afloral.com/pages/silk-wedding-flowers

They look like they have some beautiful flowers and for very reasonable prices (and pretty cheap shipping!)

What are you thinking of doing for your centerpieces? I can't wait to see the pictures!
