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!

    Hey Jennifer!! I can definitely understand second guessing what you've put together as you want it to be as nice as possible!! I think you've done an amazing job and your flowers are gorgeous!! I love how they're arranged and the colors are so beautiful!

    I think these look great and I love the fake succulents you added!

    THANKYOU Jayla! It’s easy to second guess for sure and I’ve probably managed to do so on almost everything!

    Thanks, Maria! I agree I thought the succulents were a nice flair of something different. I finally made myself put them down and just stop stressing over it Smiley smile

    Yup! I'm regretting my bouquet now because yours is so perfect. 😅 Go girl!
    I'll be using silk and paper flowers. Maybe real baby's breath in some places not sure yet. Keep us posted.

    I used silk all through my wedding. A friend from work arranged them and made my cake for me with the same flowers on it. Looked amazing, and I still have them on display in my home.

    Hahaha yours sounds awesome though! I’m such a sucker for babies breath! So much so that I’m trying to find a way that I could incorporate this into the ceremony decor without being the odd man out. I love this idea though and could just print sheet music for some of the songs used during processional or something.

    I got them at Michaels! Only regret was not buying more than I did. Because they were part of their “fall collection” (which I was surprised at that!) I can’t gey any more just like them Smiley sad I’m going to have to get some complimenting white and greenery for some of my remaining ceremony accent pieces.

    I’m a sap for keepsakes so the fact that I can keep them for years was huge. I remember my Mother’s bouquet as a child and thought it was so awesome to have hers and know that’s what she used! 😍

    The base of them were bouquets, yes. I took them apart and added/took away then rearranged back together. I also did mine twice as large as the bridesmaids and kept theirs as singles. The mothers plain white ones were just pulled apart and rearranged for fullness and then wrapped their stems.
