Re: Q...Artificial Flowers...

i wouldn't use artificial flowers for my wedding just for the reason that i love real flowers...no one ever gives me any...so why not splurge on my wedding?

and as for a particular person...i'm sure any florist can put together artificial arrangements for you if you asked them...when i was looking into using cherry blossoms out of season Florsian LLC said they could substitute with a nice silk version of the real cherry blossom and that no one would be able to tell the difference...maybe you can try contacting her? She's a vendor on here

I know Michaels will arrange a bouquet for you for free if you buy the flowers, I would try there.

I was in a bridal party and we all had silk flowers and it was sooooo tacky! I hated it and would NEVER do it. If money is an issue I would try to chose somthing in season as well as lower priced one, but would keep it real.

I'm not because of personal preference, but I have seen them done and they look real. My MOH is using them and her SIL had them and you couldn't tell in pics that they were fake.

I was gonna use silk flowers to save some money, but the more I think about it the more I am just not sure. I am gonna make a sample and then make my finally decision.

Re: Q...Artificial Flowers...

I would understand using artifical flowers if you had really bad flower allergies, but I definitely prefer real ones.

Did you just want bouquets, or for table arrangements too?
