For those of you that are having your bridesmaids wear a flower in their hair...

are you using real flowers or fake? My florist said that real flowers might not hold up since we will be taking pictures outside from 9-11 and my ceremony and coctail hours is outside from 12-1:30. If you're using fake flowers do you have any recommendation of where is the best place to get them from?

Thanks Ladies!!!!!!!!

I'm using fake flowers for the reasons you listed. I've been searching online..and it turns out they can cost a FORTUNE! I've seen some up to $165! Ebay has some that are a bit cheaper...but I'm still going to try to make them myself. I'm going to AC moore tomorrow to see if I can find appropriate flowers.

Good Luck!

DIY. REALLY easy. I did it for my girls with gerber dasies from 99 cents store. Just pulled them off their branches and voila! For sturdies ones, just cut them really close to the head. Then you hot glue them onto a comb or barette. I used minature combs I got from AC Moore-worked fabulously. SOOO much cheaper than buying them.
