How many of your guys are doing fake floral vs real?? I've been pricing both and they cost about the same??
I want pretty flowers that don't look cheap but the idea of paying the same when I can just purchase the real ones don't make sense to me....any thoughts ladies?? Or any reccommendations
Re: Flowers!!
check out www.afloral.com they have great stuff.
Like djscat mentioned afloral.com has really good ones. I purchased mine from Michael's & Hobby Lobby.
[QUOTE]I am going with the real touch silk flowers. I have heard nothing but great things about them. I am going very simple for my bouquet and my girls bouquets so that might make a difference. I just like the thought that I will be able to keep my bouquet forever. check out <strong><a href="http://www.afloral.com" rel='nofollow'>www.afloral.com</a></strong> they have great stuff.

[QUOTE]I'm doing half and half for my centerpieces. Half will be real but the submersible centerpieces will be "real touch calla lilies" from afloral.com. No one will notice or be able to tell or touch flowers that are submerged in water :-)

Great minds think alike! I'm doing the same idea for my reception!!! I used the same submersible idea for a couple weddings that I did.
I'm have a floral business so I'm doing all of the florals myself. I work with majority real flowers, and was planning on doing that for everything, but I needed to cut my budget for the flowers a bit!. Seeing that I'm going to my wholesaler.. I'm doing certain pieces (reception centerpieces, and altar pieces) with real touch silk flowers and some (personal flowers & pew decoration) real.
I cut my budget down about $150!
I really recommend taking a look at <a href="http://www.save-on-crafts.com/">www.save-on-crafts.com</a> if you're looking into silk/fake flowers.
