I am new to this website! Greetings all! I have always wanted peonies, but with a wedding in July, all of the vendors have told me it can't happen. I found some beautiful silk ones, but in the back of my mind I still think that it is tacky. Now the only people with silk flowers would be my bridesmaids. I would have real flowers and the center pieces would all be real. I want real opinions. Don't sugar coat it please! What would go through your mind if you saw fake bouquets at a wedding?

We are using silk flowers from everything and I think they look fantastic. They last forever, you can make them ahead of time, and if there is something you don't like, it's an easy fix.

Silk Silk Silk!! I am not having a single real flower at my wedding and I think it's one of the best decisions I've made so far. I can make them all plenty in advance, they are cheaper, it's one less vendor to deal with, they last forever, it's a gift for my BMs (I'm making vases for them too), they don't die or wilt, and you KNOW what they will look like in advance!! I went to Michael's for Black Friday and got the flowers for my entire wedding for less than $200! (6 BMs and 8 GM)

Also, Welcome to WW
