Change of Plans! Flower Advice

If you already have the sola wood flowers for the bridesmaids, I’d let them use those and get a real bouquet for you. I’d still get a boutonnière for your groom - that way he has on something that distinguishes him from other people in the wedding party and it will complement your bouquet. I downsized to a smaller wedding too, but I decided I wasn’t going to cheat myself and am adamant about having the wedding experience I want. Smaller doesn’t mean you can’t have what you want - even if it doesn’t make sense to anyone else. 😊

Real vs wood is personal preference. Give them a bouquet to hold so they have something to do with their hands.

Women can walk down an aisle without holding anything, just like men can. Get your bridesmaids bouquets if you want to, but I don't think they are necessary.

For yourself, use the sola wood if you love it, or buy a fresh flower bouquet. It totally comes down to your preference. There are no wrong answers.

All of that said, my personal presence would be to have all real flowers or all fake flowers, not a mix.

If you already made some sola wood flowers then I would use them so they won't go to waste!

I would use the Sola flowers you have already made. Use real for you & your groom.

With cutting down on a guest list and other expenses, do what you really desire! Just because it is smaller, does not mean it has to be smaller in decor

Omg your wedding sounds exactly like ours! first let me tell you its about to turn out so much better than you dreamed. We just preordered loose real flowers. 2 dozen roses= $8.99 and bundles of eucalyptus =$6.99 got a few bunches of each from a wholesale flower place. I made my bridesmaid's bouquets from these loose flowers and purchased a bouquet for myself. but it seems you already have their wood flowers. use those for them. if you have a little extra money for a bouquet i would say this is your day, do it. but if not use a wood flower bouquet as well. so popular right now.
