Fake Flowers for brides and bridesmaids ????

I bought mine from Etsy - I just wanted simple bunches of gerbera daisies and I found them with no problem. Wrapped the stems in ribbon and job done! I think I paid $75 including shipping for three bouquets. They’re now all together in a vase in our hallway!

I am going to be buying and using artificial flowers as well. I have never liked the smell of most flowers, and it will be cheaper too!

I feel like u cant tell the difference. i saw cute brooch bouquets on etsy if youre into that

Costcos OR Amazon....i see alot of brides used them.

We met with a florist in FL when we visited our venue, but with all that's happened since I have followed back up (shame on me, I'll be reaching out soon) - But in the meantime, I happened upon fake bouquets on Amazon and the prices were pretty amazing so much so, that I'm debating going that route now versus the real flowers.

I Found Someone On Facebook Who Makes Silk And Wood Flowers. Shes Making My Bouquet, Bridesmaids, Corsages And Boutonnieres.

I did Afloral.com and bought the flowers individually/ created the bouquets. One bigger one for me and three smaller for the bridesmaids.
With supplies and the flowers, it was like $115. Really depends on if you like that sort of thing and if you're okay with it not being perfect. I just wanted something simple for us to hold.

Hobby lobby has a lot of pretty choices and once a month their floral dept is 50% off

I went to ac moore before they closed and got a ton of flowers. This past week michaels was having a 70% off sale on flowers too. Going to make the girls flowers and mine. I believe this week hobby lobby is having a sale too.

I would check out etsy and Ling's Moment. They have beautiful flowers there. I am using Ling's moment for the boutonnieres for the guys and I think they look great and are not cheap looking. Definitely be on the look out for sales such as Michaels.

It's not much cheaper to by artificial unless you can find some used. I seriously thought about either renting artificial or buying real from Sam's club.

Whatever you do, do not buy from budget-brides.com. I'm so lucky that I bought the sample and didn't skip right to buying everything. The sample (which you think would be perfect because they WANT you to buy more) was shredded at the end, leaves had red dye at the tips, and they do not align with David's Bridal colors, as promised. I ended up going with real flowers.

I would suggest fiftyflowers.com its real floral but its super cheap at wholesale

If you don’t care about buying them then I’d recommend Something Borrowed Blooms, they do silk flower rentals! I’m going to use them to save money on flowers once I’m not interested in putting together flowers myself.

We are doing artificial flowers. It’s cheaper but also I didn’t find a florist I loved. Here’s my bouquet. I don’t have a pic of the bridesmaids but theirs are just small white rose bouquets.

I got my fake hydrangea's from Ac Moore before they closed down... now i have to hope michael's or hobby lobby has similar for the rest of my decorations

I bought artificial flowers from Hobby Lobby and created the bouquets myself. They have 50% off floral every couple of weeks or so!

You could also do a single stem (real): rose, lily, daisy, or another flower that’s in your bouquet. Or a mini lantern which can cost around $5 each.

View Quoted Comment That is gorgeous! You did an awesome job!

I’m making my bouquet, my bridesmaids and the boutonnieres out of fake flowers! I got mine from Ling’s Moments but off Amazon. I know they do ready made bouquet but I wanted to make mine myself. You can’t even tell the difference! I put a picture of the box set I bought. I will say the stems are not as pictured. They’re wires and I just wrapped all the stems together in floral tape. But if you want that individual stem look, I think theres something you can buy to put the wire stems in.


I also bought two boxes of roses to make my bridesmaids bouquets for about $26 each box and used about half to make their bouquets(I made 2 and also bought fake baby’s breath from amazon) the rest I’ll use to make the boutonnieres and any leftovers I’ll add to our centerpieces. I love that they have just roses and also a mix of flowers!
