Real vs Fake Flowers

Kassandra , on January 4, 2018 at 9:25 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 13

Hey everyone!

Have any of you made your own bouquets and décor using fake flowers instead of real ones? What are the pros and cons you experienced?

Thanks in advance!

    I just made a post sharing this bouquet I just made! Saved a ton of money compared to what flower shops quoted me and they're 100% fake. They are the real touch flowers from hobby lobby. Smiley smile

    I made my own. This picture is before added pinecones and ribbon around the stems. Pros is that it costs way way way less $ (you can hit 60% off flowers at Michaels and other craft stores If you play your cards right!!) Cons - it takes a lot of time and effort to get them to look just right and then copy them however many times for each bridesmaid you have. We also had to use flower tape and wire to make sure flowers stay in place.

    I am going to order sola flowers. They are fake but made of wood. The site has dye that can be used also. But I'm going to keep them natural. I am going to make the bouquet like the picture.

    We are doing all faux flowers because our wedding is indoors and quite a few our our guests have terrible allergies. Pics are of our centerpiece mock up and my bouquet.

    I'm also using wooden flowers but i ordered through ecoflower. I was able to easily match my flowers to my wedding colors and I'll get to keep my bouquet!
