Wooden Flower Bouquets!

I hate the idea of spending $$$$$ on flowers for the wedding day that are going to wilt and die so I was determined to find an alternative. At first I was going to go with pre-preserved flowers but they are expensive and very limited in options. So i kept looking and discovered wooden flowers that look real and are scented like real flowers, come in pretty much any color you could want and are affordable.

For anyone in search of a unique alternative you have to check them out! Wood Flowers

The owner Karinne handles all the weddings herself and is so sweet and helpful. She even sent me a sample bouquet with differnt flowers and colors.

Heres a picture of a bouquet from her site

Re: alternative to fresh flowers

Oh and as a bonus you and all of your bridesmaids will have bouquets that can be turned into beautiful arrangments in your home after the wedding!

I've seen wooden flowers before too! They are beautiful! But I have my hearts set on real ones. Theres just something special about real flowers. I've always wanted them so I'm having them!!!

I love real flowers too but preserving a wedding bouquet is expensive and I wanted something I could keep and have arround so I am kind of the opposite of you here I figure I can buy myself (or fh does) real flowers anytime I want but my bridal bouquet i will only get once and this way I can keep it for always
Its all about getting what you want...its our wedding and in the end we just all want to be happy and for everything to be beautiful.

It's really pretty and different. I really like the bouquet.

I am not sure how it really makes a difference from real flowers. It's not like you can use it again.

When it comes to spending money and things that go to waste. Well, we do that everyday in every aspect of our lives.

Yes we do tend to live in a disposable society but I WILL be able to ue these again. Not as a bouquet to carry arround but as a flower arrangment in our home that will never wilt and die and for me that is the difference. But to each their own.

Re: Wooden Flower Bouquets!

Those wooden flowers are beautiful! I didn't even kow that they existed! I already put a large deposit down for my florist so I wouldn't change now, but they are beautiful. I would also do with out teh sprays, probably substitute it with baby's breath, to keep the whole natural thing going.

Great idea.
