    I'm using fake flowers. I can't bring myself to spend hundreds on flowers for just 1 day.

    That's a good choice! Do you know what kind of flowers you're going to use? Or the colors?

    Real! But, they came with our venue package, otherwise I would probably have done real bouquets but non-flower centerpieces.

    Faux, at my sister's wedding we learned how hard it was to keep real alive.

    I'm having silk flowers for my bouquet (only because I found it at Goodwill for $7 and absolutely loved it!) But the rest of my flowers will all be sola wood. My total on flowers is $80.

    Sola flowers w faux greenery... here’s a sampling... these are WIP pix but you can get the idea - I love how they’ve come out and because they were more affordable than real we could have way way more than we would have been able to afford had we gone with fresh. Plus FH is a woodworker so they are a nice little nod to him.

    I think it’s a unique way to include cheap flowers

    my original plans didn’t include flowers but my mom and step mom really feel they’re “necessary” so I found a way to include flowers that I felt were budget friendly
