Fake and real floral mix

Courtney, on September 6, 2018 at 7:55 AM Posted in Planning 0 21
Tell me your thoughts on these florals-- they're a mix of real and fake.

We're planning on ordering a collection from Sam's Club and mixing artificial in to make it larger.

These real flowers are not the colors we will actually use, but the grocery had a limited selection.

What do you think?

    I think it looks great, and I'm doing something similar!

    Our bouquets are fake with the "real feel" flowers. However all of our centerpieces and extras like garlands etc. will be real.

    We bought a pre-made garland from Michaels and plan to add in real greenery to put on the fireplace mantle. This will make it fuller and still give it that "real" look. We also are doing this with a greenery chandelier! We bought a HUGE wreath/hoop and have been attaching fake greenery sparsely on it and once the real greenery comes in we will fill in the room with the real.

    I seriously think this is a smart trick to save money and get thick and full flowers!

    I think it's beautiful, and I'm also doing a mix. I've ordered greenery & baby's breath for my centerpieces - I'm also going to incorporate some feathers. So I'm using some of that to mix in with some silk flowers that I'm getting at Hobby Lobby.

    I think they are really beautiful and it's hard to tell which ones are fake or real.

    I’m trying to accomplish this same goal. Your pieces are very inspirational. Can I ask where you got the fake flowers? And is the baby’s breath real or fake? It all looks real. You did awesome! Thanks for sharing.

    Thanks so much everyone! I am really pleased with how this came out, especially because they look better in person!

    The roses, greenery and baby's breath are real, the array of purple blooms are from Michael's from their 70% off fall decor sale last fall!

    Attached is the picture of the flowers we are going to purchase.

    Do you have any pictures of the real and fake greenery mixed together from your wedding? I'm hoping to do the same for my own and would love a visual! Smiley smile
