Are artificial flowers worth it??

All I need is 5 bouquets and maybe 5 boutineers. I was thinking about making them myself to save some money. I haven't priced it out completely yet, but is it actually worth it? Some of these artificial flowers are $5-$10 a piece plus you have to buy the ribbon, tape and pins... How much do real vs....

    Not to be that girl who inserts her own wedding pics everywhere.... Smiley winking

    But mine were fake, just from Michaels. I LOVED THEM!!!! I will use them as holiday decorations for years to come. My mom made them, so I'm not sure how much they were, but certainly less than real flowers!

    I didn't think they were worth it, but I also have a bit of a aversion to fake flowers. that and wanted roses, which you can find just about anywhere for a good price.

    but if you can find some nice fake flowers that you like for a good price, I see no reason to use real if you don't feel the need.

    Hobby lobby has True Touch rose boutonnieres that really look and feel real. Last week they were 50% and only $1.50 a piece. They seriously look and feel real, just no scent. It's crazy, I'd never seen anything like it. I think it's a good option just for boutonniere's at least http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/coral-true-touch-rose-boutonniere-162727/

    I ordered fake flowers off of Amazon (against what everyone else wanted me to do) and I absolutely love them! It is a bit of a pain to figure out how to put them all together but, to me, it's worth it Smiley smile
