Re: flowers

I have been debating back and forth on that. Good quality silk can cost as much as real flowers, but I am concerned with paying over $1,000 for somethign that will die in a week, so the silk may have a plus for the fact it will last

Re: flowers

I'm using real flowers for the bouquets, pew bows, centerpieces and altar arrangements. But I am giving my flower girl silk rose petals to throw on the aisle runner. I want a lot of petals on each side of the aisle runner, so it's cheaper for me to use silk petals. I also don't want real rose petals to stain my dress.

maybe u can use silk at some parts of the decor, but I think the silk ones won't come out well as BP flowers in pix. JMO

I agree. Silk can be just as expensive. But the good part is that it wont stain your dress (avoid red roses in your Bo-k or just be very careful)

Re: flowers

real....if your trying to save money, inside of bo-k's, maybe just do each girl carrying a single rose or lily...i've seen that done and it looks so elegant.

Re: flowers

If your girls are going to carry roses or calla lilies, you may consider getting them from an online vendor since it's not that hard to make them into a bouquet and it cost tons less. I know Costco, Sam's Club, and Fifty Flowers, Grower's Box sells them.

I'm actually doing all of my flowers myself except the bouquets. It's costing me about $2000 - $3000 less, and I'm getting Phalenophsis ordchids which is way better than what the florists were offering me for more money.
