Re: Any idea where I can get silk flowers?

My FMIL frequently uses a very nice place on Merrick Rd. in Massapequa (across from the Hess Station). The woman does such nice work and some of the flowers look so real! I think I am going to use her decorated bird cage for my card table. I can't think of the name of the shop right now but I can get it if you are interested. Are you just looking for flowers or something made up?

Re: Any idea where I can get silk flowers?

Are you looking for someone to design silk flowers or do you just want to buy some?

If you just want a good selection I would suggest going out to Floral Fantasy in Patchogue. It is a little far but they have everything! Favors, Headpieces, veils, ribbon accessories. etc. at very good prices. They also have a HUGE floral dept. Definitely worthe the drive.

Try Michael's. My mom's friend works there and they have a big selection.

I'm not crafty though and I believe you need to put them together yourself...OR...you can pay them to do it.

It's worth a shot...I'm getting silk flowers for my pew bows from there...

Re: Any idea where I can get silk flowers?

a question for mrs2be........that is a great idea to use silk flowers for your pew bows--you'll probably save some $$$....who will set the pew bows up for you?

Re: Any idea where I can get silk flowers?

I asked my florist if they would put them up for me and they said it was fine.

My sister did the same thing for her wedding...

Talk to your florist.

I would also say Patchogue Floral Fantasyland. They have everything there, and have people there that could make arrangements for you. Good luck!

Sorry. My aunt copied this flower girl dress from US angels. She made 2 of them for my flower girls, and I need the petals for the dress.....

2002wedding - my mom's friend works in the floral dept. at Michael's so she's making them for me.

I am NOT crafty!!

Michael's does sell boxes of Pew Bows though...or you could make your own if you know what you're doing...
