![Faux flowers vs real ones 1](https://cdn0.weddingwire.com/usr/4/4/5/9/cfb_1538895.jpg)
Okay, so…this is the garland we started building for the Bride/Groom table! That’s my mom, MOH, and FH. So…my mom went and bought all these supplies to craft our own decor which I was all for originally until she told me what she spent on just these supplies alone…over $200!! I think it’s turning out beautifully but that seems a bit pricy considering some of the flowers were $5 a piece. My question is…would it be cheaper in the long run to just buy bouquets of real flowers closer to the time of the wedding, which isn’t until October of next year (colors are burgundy and rust with accents of gold) or continue buying piece by piece till we have everything to make ALL the centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, etc. She’s helping to pay for a majority of our wedding and bc of that I’m trying to find ways to help save on costs and find cheaper alternatives…
