My hall has really beautiful fake flower arangements that match my girls colors and are similar to what I wanted. If they are alot cheaper and will save about $1000 would you go for it. Also do you think it will look cheazy.

I would use them if I couldn't get something that liked with fresh flowers cheaper.

While looking at halls I saw some places that offer silk centerpieces. To be honest I couldn't even tell they were fake! I say if they match your colors and you like them then go for it. Just be careful, some guests might try to bring them home!

We used fake centerpieces and nobody knew!!!! They were raised on candelabras and were only $15/table... So why not use them? And they matched with the hall's decor.

I say go for it and save some $$$

Definitely!!!!

After stressing about c-pieces, we have made the decision to go with what our hall gives us in the package.

C-piece are really important to some people, but after really thinking about it, it's not as important to us as other things. So, we decided we are going to take the $$$ we were going to use to upgrade our c-pieces or make our c-pieces and put towards the HM.

This is just my opinion how I feel and the decision I came.

we are not doing floral centerpieces, we are doing a bead and candle combo. i can't justify spending 100+ per throw away centerpiece, so by all means go for it!

i love fresh flowers so i wouldn't do it, but that's just my opinion.....and my florist isn't costing me a whole lot of money - so it would't be worth it for me....

I would not. I love flowers and this was one of the places I wanted to spend the most money. I personally, just being honest, think it is cheezy. Again JMO!!!
