My wedding bouquet

So I want to do real flowers for my bouquet but I know real flowers cost a lot but my mother-in-law says to do silk flowers they look just as real and they may be cheaper what's the benefits

    Good silk flowers cost just as much as real flowers. You might wanna look into costco or sams clubs for bulk flowers. I've seen on here before that they do a good job.

    Speaking in terms of retail, stem for stem, you will spend more for faux flowers than real, unless you buy at the dollar store and you really don't want to carry those. And take it from someone who has dealt extensively in silks and now works almost exclusively with live flowers -- silks don't hold a candle to the real thing.

    Fake flowers that don't look terrible could actually cost you more than doing real flowers.

    Yeah the "real feel" silks are great....but are also the same price as real flowers. Sam's Club has a decent deal for bulk roses and baby's breath! Also, just check with some florists or even grocery stores! I live near a Wegman's and if I were getting married nearby, I'd grab one of their pre-made bouquets they're that beautiful. And $20 each.

    Try this place https://www.etsy.com/shop/LilyOfAngeles she also has a regular website that tends to be cheaper. Etsy is a little more in order to buffer the costs to sell through etsy.

    She has great reviews and i am going with the fake option. I like the idea of being able to have the flowers as a keepsake for a long time without the look of being dried.
