Flower regret?

Mrs. DeNigris, on June 11, 2017 at 12:14 PM Posted in Style and Décor 0 7

I'm making myself crazy over here, guys.

Originally I was all about having sola flowers, and FH was super into it too. We worked with an Etsy shop to create a custom order and paid the nonrefundable 50% deposit.

But now I'm seeing all these BAM's with gorgeous flowers and I'm kinda regretting not having fresh flowers for my wedding.

Do I suck it up or start researching florists? Ugh.

    Take into consideration the sola flowers will last a long time. =) They're lovely and different.

    Go back and think about what you originally loved about the sola flowers. Maybe you can do a mix of both if nothing else? Not together, but your bouquet could be real groomsmen could still use sola flowers (things like that).

    I'm doing dried flowers for my bouquets and then paper flowers for the centerpieces- the only real flowers I'm having are for my arbor! I honestly don't love real flowers because they die- but I love the idea of having sola flowers to keep forever! Here is my inspiration for my dried flowers!

    ETA: dried flowers- not fried (silly autocorrect is use to me saying fried all the time!)

    If you love your sola flowers from Etsy I would go with it. If you can let go of your 50% deposit, and you think real flowers will make you happier then start researching florists and asking for quotes...however you may find that real flowers will cost you more depending on your area, type of flowers and what kind of arrangements you're looking for so it may not be worth it to you depending on your budget.

    Personally, I think nothing beats fresh flowers, BUT I'm also all about not spending unnecessary money. You picked the sola flowers for a reason, try to remember what you loved about them.

    I think you should stick with what you have. There is nothing wrong with sola flowers and you already spent money on them.

    Don't waste the money for crap like that. Sola Flowers are just as beautiful. Honestly you will only use the flowers for the pics and the church and nowhere else. Don't waste the money especially if the Sola flowers are just as beautiful
