Some questions about flowers

akt77

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone has done wristlets instead of bouquets for their bridesmaids and if so did you like it, and was it a cheaper way to go? I would want to use fake flowers for my whole wedding. Any information on where to get cheap but nice fake flowers would be great to.

Thanks,
akt

I find that nice fake flowers (that look real) often cost just as much as the real thing. If you think you would save tons of money going cheap, you really might only save a little. I haven't done BM wristlets myself but I've seen it and it looked kind of prom-ish. Some girls looked awkward because they weren't exactly sure what to do with their hands.

To save money you could consider only doing a BM bouquet of 2-4 stems. This would significantly lower costs and help the budget. I've heard that wristlets can cost more because they are a pain to put together and florists dislike them. I know my grandmothers' wristlets have cheaper flowers but still costs $30 each because they are a pain to make.
