Silk bouquet or a real flower bouquet that is the question

Hello everyone,
Ok well Im debating whether my bouquet should be made out of silk flowers or real flowers. I want to do silk because its cheaper and easier to store..but will it look cheesy?? I mean I know they look real..what should I do?
Thanks!

As long as you use quality silks. . . I have seen some that look very real. Stop worrying about what everyone else thinks and do what makes you happy and is best for you

For me I am doing fresh flowers. My Sister in Law did silk (from a place in Tri county Flea Market) they where beautiful!! You could not even tell the differance. If you want silk go for it!!

Re: Silk bouquet or a real flower bouquet that is the question

not for nothing... I would definitely go with real flowers.. please do not think that silk flowers will cost you less.. b/c they won't... that was my way of thinking for my e-party and they ended up costing me about $600! for everything... but the only upside is that I still have my arrangement I can always look at it... but for your wedding.. I guess that's why we have favors.. to remember?

Re: Silk bouquet or a real flower bouquet that is the question

I have to have all silk flowers b/c I am allergic to flowers. Not for nothing, but I think they are very nice too. and they're not always cheaper so don't be fooled. I have no choice but i'm not too dissapointed now that i've seen some arrangements.
