Silk flowers

Nori82

Hi...

I had always been so sure I wanted real flowers for the wedding, but now budget ( and to make my vision come true), it looks like silk flowers are going to be a better option.

But honestly, are they tacky? Should I give upmy vision just to have real?

I've seen some beautiful work, but if people touch them, it will be obvious they are not real...

I used a brooch bouquet with silk flowers  for our wedding, and simple hydrangea bouquets for the BM's (super cheap, I think we only paid 25 bucks for each) . If you want silk, and it works out to be more affordable for you, then go for it! Honestly, I have never been to a wedding and thought to touch the brides bouquet I don't think it's a requirement that you have to have "real" flowers, you should do what makes you happy on your wedding day, not what other people may expect. Just be careful , because some silk flower arrangements are kind of expensive also, although you can keep them forever!

I don't think there's anything wrong with silk flowers. They're a great money saver, and if you get good quality ones, you can't even tell the difference until you touch them! I wouldn't even be worried about your guests touching them, they're just going to notice them, think they're beautiful, and want to eat, drink and be merry.

I was going to use all silk flowers, but I was unable to find any Carnations in any of the stores I looked.  I didn't want to order them online as I wanted to see what they looked like before committing.  I ended up using real but there's nothing wrong with using fake.

I am using fake calla lilies and wisteria from JoAnne Fabrics - the calla lilies feel like some kind of latex and they have little plastic cups inside to hold their shape until the day you need them.  Overall I was very impressed and managed to get all the flowers and supplies for my bouquet and my 3 BMs for uinder $150.

<div>I am currently working on a new floral bouquet that is silks but feels just like real flowers.  I work with silks on a regular basis and have just discovered these awesome new ones that feel incredible!  I should have it up on my website in about a week so you can get an idea for what they look like.  Not all silks have to have that feel.  The one I am working on is all white with diamond gems in between the roses.  They also come in other colors.  Feel free to check out my webpage and email me with any questions you have.  I would be glad to provide you as much help as I can!</div><div>

</div><div>Also another great option with silks is too go the option of having something so unique that its obvious its not a real flower.  There are so many great options out there for brides now! </div><div>
