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 bought these Sola flowers. I spent $385 total for 4 bouts, the bridal bouquet, a moh bouquet, a mini flower girl bouquet and 2 corsages

    @SaraJ I love real flowers too but when I accidentally pinned faux thinking they were real my options opened. There are some gorgeous options out there, and I was torn because all my favs aren't in season, and it being a mini destination wedding it's less stress to coordinate. But I feel you, real flowers are wonderful

    These are the BMs bouquets. We ended up going faux for them because 2 of my 3 BMs have severe allergies to flowers. They're beautiful (and more of an ivory color) in person and feel real. We're doing real flowers for the reception and probably my bouquet because I didn't like how the faux one turned out...but I don't regret getting some faux flowers at all. They're lovely and the BMs will be able to keep them if they want.

    ETA - Mine are from SongsFromTheGarden on Etsy
