DIY silk flowers for wedding arch

Jess, on September 4, 2016 at 12:06 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 11

So I prefer real flowers over fake and that is what I'm going with for my centerpieces, but for my wedding arch real flowers were out of my budget and my skill level. I wanted something simple for the center of the arch that went with colors of the flowers I'm using in my centerpieces, so I just put this together with silk flowers. Do they look ok and like they would go ok with the flowers I'm using for centerpieces? I'm on phone so I will put a pic of my real flowers in comments.

    Very pretty. I like it.

    Are you adding more to make a bit longer?

    I think the flowers work well together, and I'm sure no one will notice they're silk!

    @A&L should I add more greenery to make it longer, like pieces that trail down?

    I think you did a pretty impressive job. They definitely coordinate with your real stems. One suggestion would really pull it together -- get yourself some of the dried blue thistles (or even cornflowers) and add them to your faux piece. Bringing in the blue will make it perfect.

    @Centerpiece thank you so much! Def a compliment coming from you. I've never done this before and ordered the flowers online without seeing them first so was kinda winging it. I will definitely look for some of the blue to add. Eta spelling

    I know nothing about flowers. I really like how you arranged them and they are not that different from your centerpieces. I was just thinking on filling the "Center" of the arch
