Hello knotties, I am a MOH for my friend with a low budget wedding. I pin ideas that would help her save on the wedding with centerpiece ideas that are DIY, but she just told me she got all the flowers, including bouqets for the wedding for $100 because they are fake! Should I tell her or suggest a better way to save since fake flowers are tacky? I want her to have a beautiful wedding, or is there a way to NOT make the fake flowers look tacky?
Re: Fake Flowers
This is your friends wedding and if she loves the flowers she bought then that should be enough for you.
I personally am not a fan of fake flowers (probably comes from the 8 years I worked in a florist) but just because I don't like fake flowers doesn't mean that other brides can't like them or use them for their wedding and I certainly wouldn't tell them that their fake flowers are tacky.
I hate silk flowers too. I used to work at micheals arts an crafts as a check out girl once a month a bride would buy 200 to 300 in silk flowers or other center piece stuff then a month later return them all smelling like cigarettes and having cut or bent stems. And guess what? Micheals accepted their return. So make sure you tell her to smell the flowers and check the stems. That's why I'm skipping floral centerpieces, and going with real flowers for my bouquet and my MOH and Best girl corsages.
