Hi everyone! So you may have seen my previous post about my florist quoting me $5,000 for flowers. I've met with a few other florist and they've quoted me around the same, or maybe $1000 or so less than my original quote. My mom brought up the question of having artificial flowers in some places instead of real flowers. What are your thoughts about this? Is it super obvious? This actually has me really thinking because I am super crafty and maybe I can create some of the things myself... I am thinking of flowers that people will not be close to in particular. For example, the ceremony arch and two stands that will have vases with flowers. Since no one will be near them, I am thinking artificial flowers would be perfect (see image below). I would keep real flowers for the bouquets/boutineers/centerpieces and anything else people would be up close to.

My question is, is it super obvious when people use artificial flowers? Are you using them? Doing a mix? Any thoughts? I'm trying to get a good idea before signing my quote/making a deposit! Thank you all!

I bought flowers from both Amazon and AC. Moore. The white hydrangeas were the ones bought from A.C Moore and so were the very light pink (off white) looking flowers (I don't know what type they are). Everything else was bought off amazon. I tried to buy as many "real touch" flowers as I could. The orchids and the roses are real touch. Real touch are also more expensive. I actually bought a TON of flowers off of amazon and when they were delivered I played around with them to figure out which ones to return (I returned 75% of them). Since I was only doing bouquets I didn't have to buy in bulk. A.C Moore has coupons ALL the time!

I am using artificial flowers for my wedding. I got most of them off Shein. I don't even think you can tell, I don't even think I spent $500 for flowers. I am using real flowers for my bouquet because that is my preference. My friend got her fake flowers off of etsy which were a little more but they came ready to go. They looked real as well. I attached a picture of my flowers!
