Flower crown: Fake or fresh flowers?

Personally if it were me doing this I would go with fake. I would be worried about crushing or damaging the flowers while creating the crown and then trying to figure out how to keep them fresh for the wedding sounds a bit stressful for me.

As for looking cheap or not that will come down to the quality of silk flowers you choose but I found this tutorial where she used silk flowers and it definitely didn't look cheap to me

good luck

I am doing real flowers, i just like the way it looks better than fake flowers to me. mine is $35 from the florist

I am typically all about real flowers, but I'd be concerned about them making it all day without water. It's not like a bouquet that you can plunk in a vase of water when you're not carrying it. Maybe talk to your florist about flower varieties that are less likely to wilt?

In August? I'd go with fake. They could wilt and come apart over the course of the day and look kind of funny at the end.

They = real ones.

I'm doing dried flowers. It's a good compromise because they still smell amazing and look nice, but they won't wilt in the sun! I'll attach pics of mine & daughters crowns.
