What are your opinions on this? Any suggestions for websites to get silks or real flowers from? Thanks!

I am using all silk flowers because I am allergic, and am getting them from afloral.com

I am thinking fake becasue I think it's crazy to spend a ton of money on something that dies in 3 days that nooone cares about. I want to do it myself.

I am doing silk because i'm a woman on a budget and just cannot bring myself to spend hundreds on flowers that are just going to die. Also silk flowers are beautiful and they last!

We used silk flowers and saved at least $1700. They looked great and I didn't have to spend any money to get my bouquet preserved. Also in my pictures you couldn't tell the difference, and I didn't have to worry about anyone being allergic and looking puffy for my pictures. I would go with silk, it's cheaper and they still look beautiful.

I am using silks. I don't know if you have a Michael's craft store near you, but thats where I got all of mine. I literally saved almost $1000! Hobby Lobby is great too, they just didn't have the colors I was looking for.
