What kind of flowers? Real, faux, sola, or paper?

I'm trying to find some navy blue Real Touch roses...... if they exist by the day of my wedding, that's what I'll be using.

View Quoted Comment We are still discussing “real” for bouquet ONLY because family apparently feels so strongly about our origami not really being flowers

I personally think the origami lilies are awesome but I really am not into arguing about stupid stuff

View Quoted Comment How much were yours if you don’t mind me being rude?

View Quoted Comment Amazing picture and awesome bouquet

do you mind telling us how much?

View Quoted Comment I would be interested in this too

but also really haven’t found aanything

i do think it it could be nice combination with origami roses to add pops of color

also thinking about maybe spray painting a few metallic silver for accent

I am currently facing this dilemma! I will definitely be having real flowers for the bridal and bridesmaids bouquets, as well as the boutonnières and corsages but I am strongly considering silk for the arch, head table, and centerpieces!

We were going to do real but fell in love with some gorgeous velvet ones! So, I guess faux?

Sola wood flowers! They are more inexpensive than standard artificial and have a realistic look - plus you can scent them. I'm excited to have my bouquet as a beautiful keepsake as decor in my home afterwards.

I'm about to start the dyeing and assembling process...hoping everything goes smoothly!

Real flowers! It was the one thing I wouldn't budge on. Nothing beats real sunflowers I now have the dried petals in a ring that I get to look at every day

Faux flowers for decorating, paper flowers mixed with faux ones for bouquets (except moms', they insist on wanting real flowers for their bouquets)

Faux! Idc idc idc I know some people have strong feelings about them being real but I can't wrap my head around the cost vs the use I'll be getting if I used real flowers lol

We’re going with fake flowers at my mom’s request, she likes to have control so she wants to know what we will be having at the wedding. At first I was against it but we bought very high quality fake flowers that were not cheap and they actually look good.

Unfortunately I’m allergic to pretty much everything, so we have to go with faux flowers. Our florist is providing us with silk, I am giving her sola to incorporate, and I’ve bought some foam flowers to use in our centerpieces.

That is really pretty! I really want real, but considering cost....I might just have to explore the fake options out there. Did you find those flowers at a Michaels or Hobby Lobby!?

$235 and included a toss bouquet!

View Quoted Comment Aw thanks so much! :-D We were so excited for how they came together!

View Quoted Comment Hobby Lobby! They have the best selection and some amazing "real touch" options as well. And they have 50% off floral sales every now and then which really helps with the price.

Thank you. I will have to see if there is one near where I live.

They looked gorgeous!! Storing the petals was a good idea!

Allergies are the worst!! I'm sure your flowers will still be beautiful! I also like the idea of incorporating sola as well!
