When making your own centerpieces/decorations do you use real or fake flowers? I can't really make my centerpieces and other random decorations before hand if I use real flowers. But are fake flowers tacky?

    I would suggest going to Hobby lobby and trying your hand at a “mock up” of what you are wanting. It will give you an idea of what fake flowers will look like, and whether you will like them or not. It will also reveal how talented, or in my case how NOT talented, you are at arranging flowers! LOL I had planned on DIY’ing fake flowers arrangements & bouquets for my wedding. I had lots of inspiration pictures saved to my Pinterest board. I figured I would just take the pictures in and imitate it with I had lots of inspiration pictures saved to my Pinterest board.

I was absolutely horrible at trying to make the arrangements 🤦🏼‍♀️ After many failed attempts, I finally gave in and hired a florist

    You definitely don’t have to use real flowers. It’s all about your budget and what works best for you! Fake flowers can look just as good as real flowers.

    Chrysta’s idea of using fake flowers as a stand-in for your mockups is a great idea if you wish to use real flowers on the day!

    What are you planning on doing for your centerpieces?
