real or silk flowers???

So i have really bad allergies to pollen and was wondering if anyone has used silk flowers or priced them out. Any suggestions would be great!

I am using real but you can always do a search on silk vs. real...I am sure you can come up with something that way.

Both FH and I both have very bad allergies. So we decided on silk. The silk flowers i have seen are beautiful

i have really bad allergies...when i started meeting with florists, they suggested certain flowers to me to help minimize the problem, maybe you can do the same.

I am using real for the bridal party, but we are using silk for the centerpiece (using candelabras with flowers wrapped around them) We mainly decided on silk b/c of the price difference and they looked SO much like the real flowers.

It's a good thought! There are some really really nice silk flowers out there.

My future sis in law used silk for the Bridal Party and real (floating in vases) for the centerpieces. I am using silk daises for a project I am doing for the ceremony... Def look, there are great silk flowers out there!!!!!

I'm using silk flowers for my pew decorations and my bridal party; they are pretty reasonably priced. I got my flowers from afloral.com

Some silk flowers look so real that people won't be able to tell unless they touch them! I created my daughter's pew decorations from silk flowers and they looked really beautiful. You can see them in my album. We are renewing our vows in September and I'm doing our centerpieces out of silk flowers. You can find gorgeous silk flowers in the flower district - 28th Street in the city.

An '09 bride, pandafish519 used silk and her flowers looked AMAZING!!! Maybe you could FM her and find out who she used.
