Real vs Silk?

Has anyone here used Silk flowers for their wedding? Is it much cheaper to do it that way?
Anyone have pics of silk flowers that they used?

Thanks!

i was in my aunts wedding a few years ago and it cost her about $500 for the boks...and that was in michigan where EVERYTHING is cheaper....they looked kinda cheesy (jmho). but maybe thats just the style she wanted.

Reason Im asking is because I know Im going to want to save my bo-k and FH's boutineer......I've heard that if I got real flowers and then had them preserved (I think is the word Im looking for) that costs a small fortune.
Or does anyone have any other suggestions?

I have no choice. I have to go the silk flower route. I am allergic to pretty much every flower known to mankind. I have found some really nice silk boquets. I am going next week to look at more and if they let me take pics I will post them.

Do a search online, you will find directions for DIY preservation-stuff that you can buy at any craft store.

We went with real flowers.

But I went to a wedding that used silk flowers and it didn't look too bad.
