paper flowers?

Hi everyone,

I have a question, I’m having a VERY casual summer beach wedding and I am wondering what kind of flowers would work for me, I love hydrangeas.  I have some very talented and crafty friends who have offered to make me so hand folded flowers for my bouquets and center pieces.  What do you ladies think of paper flowers? 

Here are some of the flowers I’m thinking of:

<div>Artificial flowers in general are an easy beautiful way to do your bouquets.  The paper ones are awesome and I have used them before.  The only concerns I have had when using paper vs silk is if it rains or if the flowers get wet at a beach wedding.  Other than that I love them!  </div><div>
</div><div>Have you looked into the seashell options?  Here are two examples off of etsy, one is more casual than the other:</div><div>
