Silk or Real Touch Flowers for a bok??

Is anybody planning on doing the silk or real touch flowers for bouquets, and bouts? Any recommendations as far as vendors or websites, or stores?


I came across kedra5's post about the silk flowers, and it got me thinking. I was going back and forth with the idea because I wanted to be able to keep my bouquet and display it in a vase after our wedding. No need for me to spend so much money on flowers that will die within a few days. JMO. So I went on etsy and checked out several vendors and received a quote.

1 Bride Bouquet
2 MOH bouquets
3 BM bouquets
1 JR BM Bouquet
1 toss away
5 bouts
1 father bout
1 mother corsage

all wrapped in black & white damask fabric with teal ribbon, and pearl pins throughout.


$668.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe that's how much she was going to charge me!!!!!!! FH was not a happy camper when he saw that price.


So yeah, I'm not sure how great of a price that is. Flowers are the last thing I'm concerned about for my wedding, and i'm not doing flower centerpieces, so the bok's and bouts would be the only flowers displayed.

Any ideas? The Michaels by me doesn't carry such a good selection of silk flowers, but I am interested to hear other locations if anyone knows of any.


here's a picture of what the BOK's from etsy look like

Try getting a quote from Hidden Essence (a vendor on here). She really worked with my very small budget. Before you go the way of fake flowers, give her a try. We were gonna use the fake flowers at first as well, but real ones do make a difference.

Eitherway, the silk flowers you posted do look beautiful!

I am! It saved me thousands!! She does beautiful work. It is called CNJ Floral Boutique. I worked with Sheila. Her number is 718-342-7266. You will be very happy with her work! Absolutely beautiful! You can see some pics at weddingwire.com under vendors. Tell her Andrene referred you. I attached one photo.

I'm debating to use modagefloral. I'm most likely not going to book anything until novemberish bc she usually only needs around 6 weeks to create everything, and I'm getting married in April. I'll let you know what happens though
