Artificial Flowers

We haven't booked our florist yet, but we're going with a neighbor who has a wood florals company: https://www.facebook.com/enchantedappleboutique/ We also haven't gotten quotes from her yet, so I'm not sure how much our flowers will end up being. We need a bridal bouquet, boutonnieres for all of the groomsmen/dads/grandpas, one MOH bouquet and corsages for the moms/grandmas.

BUT my suggestion is try going to farmer's markets, craft bazaars and the like to see if there is anybody like that there and see if they do weddings. I showed my coworkers the wood flowers, and they couldn't believe they weren't real!
good luck with your search!

You're welcome! I'm not sure if the Enchanted Apple Boutique ships out of state. But you could use her images as ideas to show other people!

do you have anybody in Minnesota that you trust that could attend these craft shows for you? that might help. the EAB is in NJ, where we're from, and we're planning in VA. Both are parents are from NJ, so they're going to pick up the flowers for us

I ordered from Budget Bride - artificial, and got what I need for under $500. Just beware of a long lead time for that low of a price.

You could buy live flowers in bulk from Sam's Club or Costco and it would be under $500.

I found a shop on Etsy called Dress Your Wedding. She does artificial flowers and they are gorgeous!!

I'm not quite ready to order yet, so I haven't finalized with her. But her prices seem really reasonable, and a lot cheaper than real flowers.

I'm sorry, that should have said Dress My Wedding.

Hi there Mollie! Did you decide to go with artificial or real flowers for your wedding?

So I got a majority of my artificial flowers from Dollar Tree. It sounds nuts, I know, but they were of higher quality and feel more real than the ones next door at Hobby Lobby!
