Take on artificial flowers for the bride, bridesmaid, and maid of honor

From my experience looking ( as I was going to go the fake route) it was actually cheaper for me to go through a florist and get real flowers then all the fake ones I was looking at. Then the rest of our flowers will be from Costco ! I would get quotes for what you're wanting and then compare with fake flowers you find and like .

I would go with artificial based on the lower prices and if your able to rent them, it saves to store at home and return it after the event. We did artificial floral ball for our vases which looked awesome and realistic. The colours can be what you choose for your bouquet. It has come a long way now since real flowers are costly for just one day event.

I have huge allergies to flowers and the thought of being a snotty, runny nose mess and honestly pretty miserable person just makes real flowers a deal breaker to having a good day. We are going the fake route. My mother, children and MOH are also very sensitive to flowers as well. There are some great deals out there for people who enjoy real flowers though. I have to leave most weddings early if the tables are full of real flowers...even with sinus meds I can't usually handle them.

View quoted message Thank you will go see with them.

View quoted message Thank you so much. That why i wanted to know peoples opinion on artifical Budget wise it fits nicely and its still so very nice.

My fiance and I are doing artifical flowers for all of our weddings including centerpieces. If we went with real flowers, our total would of been triple for what we had paid for. Also you can get certain flowers with artifical that sometimes you can't get during certain times of the years with real flowers
Talk so some florists first and see what they can do for you!

Definitely go to your local florist and discuss what your options for flowers could be! If you're open to the type of flower but are just set on the colour then it may not be as expensive as you think. I initially was going to order fake flowers from etsy, but upon meeting with a florist I actually found that my bouquets weren't going to be as expensive as I anticipated because I was open to any flower and mostly just wanted specific colours.

View quoted message You are absolutely right. ill take a look in the coming weeks.

I think you should go to your local decorator/florist and ask to see what options are in season. The thing with artificial flowers, especially ones in your colour choice, is that they can look very obviously fake, especially in close ups and photos. Some people mind that, some don't. You should check them out this summer and get some pricing so you can decide if it's worth it.
