Silk vs. Real

Silk flowers range greatly in price and quality. It really depends on the ones you purchase. The more realistic silk flowers I've seen are more expensive than real.

I wouldn't say you can "instantaneously" spot the differences, but if you were really scrutinizing the floral arrangements (which none of your guests would be doing), then yeah you'd see a difference. You can rent silk flowers, so that can help save a few bucks as opposed to buying real flowers.

There's nothing wrong with silk! It kind of boils down to personal preference though. I love the feel and look of real flowers, so they're being ordered from our local Kroger florist to save money!
