Silk Flowers Veres Real Flowers

I need peoples opnions. I had a bouquet of peonies made to look just like Trista Rehn from the batchlorette. I loved her bouquet and I really love peonies. Unfortunatley I am marrying in October and the flower is not available.
Anyway the bouquet was made and I love it.
My Mom and sister think they are going to look fake in the pictures and also clash with the bridesmaids bouquets which are going to
be roses in fall colors. I will attach the picture and hopefully you can see it. I need peoples opinions. I really love the bouquet. Any help would be appreciated

IMHO, I would never use silk flowers, I would try to find something else that you love that is in season. I just prefer real flowers.

I love it and it doesn't look fake in the picture you sent! Go with your instincts! Remember it won't wilt or brown

I'm sure it would look okay. But I'm a big fan of real flowers and think you should look for something you like just as much that is in season.

JMO!

I am using silk flowers for my tossing bo-k so whoever catches it has an extra keepsake. From the picture it looks really nice. Plus you are getting the flower you want.

My sister used fake flowers for herself anf the whole bridal party and everyone was commenting all night how real they looked. Here are the pics. http://www.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=67b0de21b372e57625fa
If that is what you want then go for it

I am using all silk flowers and the ones i look at you can not tell they are fake until you touch them- they are more expensive ones - but i have to have them because i am higly alergic to flowers

but anyway - in photos it is even less noticable what is real and what is fake

i would just stay away from the green stuff in flake flowers becaus ehtta is what usually gives away they are fake to me
