Faux flowers: silkvsfoamvswood

I heard great things about Ling's flowers.

and also try craft stores, that is where i got mine from!

View Quoted Comment Did you use the foam or silk ?

These are the foam flowers from Ling’s Moment (you can also find them on Amazon). I just made these last week. I like the foam flowers better than silk flowers! I haven’t used the wood flowers but from what I’m seen in pictures in this forum, they look good too.

View Quoted Comment O wow those are beautiful ! I have looked at that website and they have beautiful bouquets and all I just wasn’t sure how they looked in person ! Thank you so much !

View Quoted Comment Thank you! I used several boxes of the individual foam flowers. They look the same as those pictures on the website. I’m sure the bouquets are the same. Sign up on their email list to get notification of sales/discounts.


I also have silk flowers that I purchased from Michaels when they had a 60 to 70% off sale.

View Quoted Comment I was wondering if anyone was going to mix also ! Did you use foam for your bouquets ?

View Quoted Comment No. I’m using fake flowers for decor only. I’m using real flowers for the personal flowers (bouquets, corsages and boutonnieres). There are some ladies on this forum that have made their own bouquets and they are gorgeous!! Just do a quick search and you’ll find plenty of pictures to give you an idea of how they look.

I used wood flowers and I loved them. I dyed the colored ones myself because I wanted them to match my sister’s dress. They’re pretty easy to work with, what I struggled with the most was getting the color the way I wanted it. I bought mine from solawoodflowers.com, they’re always doing sales. I bought a bunch on clearance too. I really didn’t want to spend to much on flowers

I used Sola wood flowers for my wedding. They were a huge hit!

We used silk for everything. For centerpieces/aisle decorations we bought some from Ling's and then everything for the bouquets/bouts came from Hobby Lobby when they were 50% off. Getting fake flowers was one of the best decisions I made because it saved me so much money, and I still have all of the flowers as decor in my house now.
