Bridal bouquet - faux vs real Etsy reviews?

This is the second wedding for both of us, and most certainly the last. We are having a small ceremony at San Francisco City Hall. No wedding party, save his kids as our ring bearer and flower girl. Originally I debated getting a fresh floral bouquet for my bouquet but after speaking with some vendors, some of my favorite flowers are not in season, and everything I've been pinning has my favorite flowers. One of the bouquets I pinned was actually fake, from a designer on Etsy. This prompted me to start digging on Etsy and saw some really great flowers. My question is if anyone has gone with faux flowers online, specifically Etsy, and any recommendations that you guys might have? We also like the idea of how we can then display the bouquet in our home after the wedding. The portability of faux is appealing too since we are not SF natives it is one less thing to worry about day of. Thanks in advance for insight. If you have photos of what you got/made, and vendors used would love to see!

I made my own real touch flower bouquet and loved it! Its in a vase in our family room right now!

ETA: Before I decided to make my own I was considering a bouquet from etsy from a seller called Lily of Angeles. They have great reviews and people here have used them before.

I ordered a flower crown and a floral hair comb from Etsy and they came back amazingly! They were wrapped well which I think is a huge deal breaker for these types of things. Depending on the brand of flowers they use, I think you'd absolutely be fine! Just dig and do your research, don't be afraid to bother the seller with questions!

I didn't get a bouquet and my standards were a little different for each piece. I didn't want the comb to look too real (just personal preference) but the flower crown - which my FG will be wearing looks more real. I bought the comb from OhDinaFlowerCrowns and the actual crown from ThePearledRose

Thank you! Those are both gorgeous I really want the bouquet to look as realistic as possible for sure. They're both great and I'll check them out. It's just so overwhelming seeing SO many sellers on Etsy sometimes

Thank you! I completely understand. I did a quick search for peony bouquets because that's my favorite flower and is out of season for my wedding as well and I found some great ones on Etsy. The great thing is that 99% of the time you get what you see with Etsy and if not you get a money back guarantee which is great! Good luck and definitely post pictures

I too am thinking about using fake flowers. once I found out the price of real flowers for my wedding party. Lily of Angels have beautiful flowers. I'm going to end up getting these.
