Good silk flowers- where?

Hi ladies! I don't post very often over here, but I thought if anyone can answer this question, yall can.

I'm looking for some decent cymbidium orchids for my bouquet. The ones at Hobby Lobby are really fake looking, dirty, and crushed. I haven't seen the ones at Michael's yet.

I haven't ventured further than South Austin yet, since the AC in my car is shot. I'll gladly withstand the heat if I know where to go.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

    www.afloral.com

    They have good flowers here but sometimes limited colors.

    Problem with afloral is their shipping. I was thinking about ordering from them, but I can't see what I'm buying, and I would have to pay $11 to ship a $5 stem. And if I don't like it, I have to pay for return shipping just to get my $5 back.

    I would rather buy them from a store, but thanks anyway!

    Are you open to real flowers? HEB usually has a good selection and you can even call their floral place and have them delivered if you don't see what you like in stores.
    Micheals has some good ones, I haven't look super close just at a few items but the one I was looking at were nice.

    I went to Michael's today and I liked what I saw. I'm going to wait til they have a 50% off sale though; their orchids are $15/stem!

    Thanks for the help!

    Another source for silk stems and floral arrangements is Fiori Belli.  I purchased 2 arrangements from them years ago for work and they still look great.  Their website is www.fioribelli.com.
