Artificial flowers

Has anyone had foam flowers in their bouquets? What do they look and feel like?? I'm having three junior bridesmaids and thought this might be a nice option for them so they can play dress up after the big day.

Why can't they have bouquets just like the "regular" BMs?

Sorry, didn't make it clear, I'm think of having bouquets of artificial flowers for them. The youngest is 4 and loves playing with one of my old bridesmaid bouquets

For me, I am having all real flowers for the bouquets, it is one place I wanted to splurge.  It will be the main focus and color of many of the pictures. Including everything I wanted for flowers I got quoted a very reasonable price, it is easy to go over board with it!  I have two pieces of advice, don't get stuck on a certain flower, and be open to suggestions for less expensive ones.

As for AF, I am using them in my centerpieces ast the reception as they are provided by the venue.  I really don't care if people touch them and notice they are fake.  Honestly its just another expense and detail that will soon be forgotten about.  Use the money somewhere else!
