Inexpensive silk flowers in Indy area?

jblank03

I am attempting to make some pomanders (kissing balls) to put at the end of the pews for the ceremony and need some inexpensive fake hydrangeas to do this.  I went to Hobby Lobby when flowers were 50% off, but it's still going to cost $300 to make the 14 I'll need   The FI told me that's a little too much for a last-minute addition to the budget (wedding is 11/5).  So does anyone know of any places to get super cheap flowers?  Thanks in advance

I don't have any suggestions for buying silks in Indy since Flower Factory went out of business, but have you tried eBay/Craig's list for pre-made ones? It might cut the expense and time to make them. Otherwise, try I would try looking online for the silks!

I was so sad when I saw they went out of business!  I actually looked on Etsy, and it was a little more expensive than what we wanted to spend.  However, I did find this site online: http://www.silkflowersfactory.com for anyone else who's looking for some bulk artificial flowers.

I haven't ordered any yet, but real flowers are way more affordable from Costco online or Sam's Club online! You'll need a membership, but this still might be more affordable than silk if you're a DIYer

Hi Nikki, I heart Costco, but I really want to make them ahead of time so unfortunately that wouldn't work!  I'm having a florist do all of the 'real' stuff and just decided to make something for the end of the pews, but my goal is to have nearly all of the DIY stuff done 2 weeks before the wedding (except the escort cards of course!)  Thanks for the recommendation though!
