I'm having my personal flowers (bouquets/boutonnieres/corsages etc.) done by a friends flower shop and she's unable to handle anything more than that which is fine by me.
I'm having/making centerpieces with fake flowers for the reception tables.
The only flowers I'm missing would be flowers for the church pew ends. I was looking at other florists but didn't love any of them.
While shopping at Hobby Lobby for Halloween décor I saw a bouquet of fake flowers that was exactly what I wanted for the church pews. (and $45 cheaper than the quotes I had!!)
Would it be odd to have only the personal flowers real and everything else fake?
My opinion is
1. 75% of guest won't notice that they're fake
2. 90% of the guests won't care
3. 98% of the guest won't remember in a month if the flowers were real or fake
Re: Fake VS Real
Agree with above.
All my flowers were artificial and my housekeeper still tries to water my bouquet. No one will notice and no one will care. You may also not even need all the flowers you are looking at getting.
