Michael's for wedding flowers??

I was in Michael's today and noticed that they do weding flowers (silk I suppose).  The lady wasn't there but I did like this idea.

Has anyone had their flowers done by them?  Were the prices reasonable?  Was there a long wait??

I had purchased a book and fell in love with this one bouquet for myself.  I was thinking of taking a coyp of it to her (along with the instructions on what is needed and what goes where) and see if she could do it.

Also, by the checkout there were more floral designs and the sign said that the % off coupons could be used on arrangements!

    Why should it matter if I am engaged at this point or not?  I am trying to save money in anyway possible.  It would be nice to present options when the time comes.

    I worked for the PhoneCompany at one time.  Does that answer your quest?

    It was HIS idea for the e-pics, not mine.  Was he brindsided about the flowers - NO.  Actually he was appreciative that I am thinking about these things now - he doesn't want to be blindsided with the costs later on.

    His job does not allow him to just take off and do things like this when he wants to.  Right now if I am out and see something, I try to make a note of it.

    So once again I would like to know if anyone used Michael's for their wedding flowers/arrangements?  How were the prices?

    You do realize that costs change over time right?  So the costs you get quoted now will most likely go up.

    As for you question...no I have never used Michael's for any flower arranging.  I have bought silk flower stems there for some craft projects.  To really save money it would be to DIY them yourself.  IMO I am not a big fan of silk flowers for weddings...there are plenty of inexpensive real flowers that you could use as well.

    I've gotten funeral flowers from Michaels that worked out well.  But I doubt that helps you.

    Probably the best thing is to go to Michael's when the floral lady is there, and ask about their price ranges. Nothing wrong with researching prices in advance.  In my experience, having silk flowers done up to order is just as expensive as using fresh flowers and a florist. 

    Save the picture of the bouquet you love, and maybe have yours done up by a professional, then DIY all the other flowers.  You  might could practice on cheap dollar store flowers, then use nicer ones for the wedding.  If you are using silk, they can be done well ahead of time.

    If it's going to be a while before you get married, I wouldn't spend any money just yet, just keep putting money aside. Most people with long engagements end up changing their minds and their plans several times before the wedding, on colors, budget, types of flowers, etc...

    I am sending you a private message on this since the majority of the girls here are just being extremely rude to you (which by the way ladies is by far the most unclassy and immature thing those could do who are at the age where they are either engaged or already married).

    I can't answer your question, but i'd like to apologize for all of these bridezillas who are being so nasty and petty.  Maybe you ticked them off in a previous thread or something, but what do they have to lose by give you information?

    Unless you're going to DIY, I wouldn't do Michael's, I think their services are overpriced.

    Try aflorals.com and see if you like their selection.  We're thinking of getting our bouts from them.

    I personally didn't like the quality of the silks at Michael's. I def think you could look into more cost effective options because their arranged bouquets are a bit overpriced for the quality. Look into buying the flowers and arranging yourself. Hobby Lobby has great quality silk flowers.
