diy Flowers

I think diy silk flowers would be nice ! Now a days artificial flowers can look very real !

We also have a bakery that does beautiful realistic cupcake centerpieces! They look sooo real -and your guests get to enjoy!

Mine are silk & I arranged them myself this is my bouquet. Just warning you, though...if you don’t get silks on sale...they might wind up being more expensive than real. The big English roses in my bouquet were like $8/stem originally. Luckily I bought almost everything at 60% off at Michaels & some stems 50% off at hobby lobby. This entire bouquet was under $100, but would have EASILY cost $200+ from a florist.

View Quoted Comment Wow! That’s gorgeous!! Looks like you have a hidden talent

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I actually own a cut flower farm, but didn’t want to have the stress of growing and arranging my own fresh flowers the days before my wedding. Plus, my silks will never wilt & I can sell them all after our wedding is over! There are quite a few options for artificial flowers these days. People make them out of sola wood, paper, and even bottle caps!

View Quoted Comment Thank you for the info. Do u have any websites you recommend for silks? Or flower arrangements?


Thanks!!

I think Mixing the two would be fine that is what my best friend did last year during her wedding and I'm doing the same.

Like many other have said, silk flowers are such good quality now! A great way to incorporate artificial flowers is doing submerged floral arrangements. I plan on doing this myself! I'm going with very simple flowers (a lavender themed wedding), so I'm growing my own lavender at home. It's such a hardy plant, that it's hard to mess up! I'm getting married in a botanical garden, so there really isn't a need for me to go all-out with flowers when we'll be surrounded by them, haha.

View Quoted Comment So creative! Thanks for the comment on my post! Really appreciate it!!

I did my own, cause I’m ocd and a little crazy haha, but I really liked how they turned out! All about picking ones that you don’t think look too fake for what you’re hoping for and I took pictures with a good camera to get an idea of how they’d translate in photos before I bought them!

View Quoted Comment That's pretty

These are my flowers they are silk

View Quoted Comment Wow these are gorg! Did you make these? If not could you share the link for them?


Thanks!b

View Quoted Comment Someone else made them for me I can ask her

I looked at alot of pictures on Pinterest and found bouquets that I liked. I tried to find similar flowers that were in the bouquets I liked. I went to Michael's and bought all my flowers discounted (they have alot of coupons and lots of sales) I dont think I spent over 30 on my flowers. They are all from Michael's. I put them all together the best I could since you can only compress them so much. I don't like the stems of fake flowers, at least the ones I bought from Michael's. So I wrapped them hope this helps!

View Quoted Comment They look fabulous! Wow

Thank you I love it

View Quoted Comment Beautiful!!!

We’re doing a mixture of silk flowers for decorations and real flowers from a florist for our bridal party bouquets. I wanted to be able to preserve my real flower bouquet after the wedding but didn’t want to buy everything else from the florist. It’s saved a lot of money especially if you can get the silk flowers when they go on clearance after the holidays. This is my center piece idea I created using silk flowers. Something this size could’ve easily been over $100 through a florist but only cost me about $30 for each one. Just be careful because one thing I ran in to is a lot of florist don’t like you using diy along with their floral services. I was turned away from some florists.
