Ceremony flowers

We are having a wedding overlooking the water at a local yacht club and have a white wedding arch. We've already gone a bit over budget on our band and photographer. We are adamant about having real flowers for bouquets, corsages, bouttonneers and centerpieces, but what are your feelings on doing silk flowers for our arbor swag and tiebacks? Do you think anyone would notice if they're not right up on it? I hate to do it, but it could save us hundreds of dollars.

    I don't think anyone would care or even notice if you use silk flowers. To save money, you could grow the flowers yourself. You could even preserve them yourself in glycerin.

    Thanks! I had never even considered growing them myself. My fiance and I love gardening and growing our own flowers. It would definitely add a personal touch!

    You can’t even tell some are faux unless you touch them. Your guests won’t know or care because it will be beautiful.

    These silk flowers look so real to the touch but really have a slight smell. They just as gorgeous with lots and lots of different colors. We all want the real flowers but they cost way way more expensive for real flowers and they throw them out after your wedding and reception.All of that money down the drain. Silk flowers last a longer this why chose silk flowers. But they look good for your centerpieces. And you said that you went over budget already just theme and you quotes they gives you for real flowers
