Silk flower bouquet: win or regret?

I put together bridal, bridesmaid, junior bridesmaid, and mother bouquets for everyone. I know and completely agree with the advice of not looking anymore after you have purchased or completed something. Only thing is when it comes to flowers and a lot of recent family/friend ceremonies recently, it’s hard not to see other flower ideas. I’m curious if anyone had any regrets on the silk flowers. My first wedding used fresh flowers as have the weddings I’ve recently attended. I do like the looks and colors of what I’ve done, but naturally we always want it to be perfect. Any feedback or suggestions appreciated!

I think your bouquets look very pretty. I used prearranged silk bouquets at my wedding and have no regrets. It's so much more cost effective, none of us had to worry about taking care of them during the reception (we literally tossed them in a pile on a patio table), and now I'm able to keep my bouquet forever with no preserving needed. They look fine in pictures, too. You know they're fake, but what does it really matter? They serve their purpose and gave me the styles I wanted for just a few bucks.

I think your bouquets look great! We used silk flowers as well & nobody could even tell, or cared honestly. Plus it was definitely more cost effective and made them way easier to travel with. Best part is that I get to keep them, and have them in vases all around the house as little reminders/memories. Either way is great, but this made things a breeze before, during, and after the wedding.

I decided to use fake flowers. As much as I love real, I spent less than 100 dollars on 6 bouquets. Can't beat that!

Thanks Gloria! I am such an analytical person by nature so it doesn’t surprise me that I would second guess myself haha

Thank you! I was looking at getting premade bouquets, but they were WAY more than I was willing to spend on flowers!

You looked so beautiful as did your whole wedding party. Awesome job with the flowers! Our venue is 2.5hrs away so travel is definitely important!

Ya, I'll probably end up ordering more flowers for other decorations! I got all of mine from amazon!

I’ll be using silk flowers for my wedding. I found a great website for it. Budgetbrides.com They do custom silk flower bouquets if you wanted to have them designed. This will be mine. I’ll just be changing the colors to match my wedding colors.
