Fake Flowers

Here's all of mine I got off of Etsy.

I'm doing real, because that is my personal preference. These are my flowers:

My bouquets and boutonnieres and corsages were real but all decor was fake. I liked this because I saved a lot using fake flowers for the decor but still got to hold real ones all day! Here are a few pictures. I dont have my professional ones back yet.

I'm going to use silk, because im making them myself and dont want the stress of the last minute fresh bouquets❤

I made these for my niece's November wedding. All of the bridesmaids put their bouquets in glass boxes as keepsakes after the wedding.

I opted for fake flowers for all the bouquets, corsages, and boutonnieres. for centerpieces i am not doing any flowers at all.

i went to the michael's craft store and found my bouquets there during a seasonal sale so it was extra cheap.

I was nervous about getting fake flowers at first but the price i got for all my personal flowers was awesome. Here is a picture the florist sent last night.

Christin,

How much do you think you saved by using fake flowers for the decor and real for the personal flowers? Were they both DIY too? I'm still going back and forth of what I want to do with my decor flowers (will be similar to your arch decor).

I am doing real with 1 fake bouquet and all my décor is going to be fake.

View Quoted Comment I was quoted $800 for my arch from a florist and spent $150 by doing it myself! I'm not sure how much it would've cost for me to buy the real flowers and still DIY but I didn't want the stress of doing that the day before the wedding so fake flowers worked well as I put them together on my own timeline.

Did you do your flowers yourself or did you purchase them? Also- by any chance did your bridesmaids dresses come Azazie? They look similar to ones I was looking at.
