    I'm always an advocate for artificial flowers, unless real flowers are something that's really important to you. Flowers were not a high priority for me or FH, so we're using nothing but artificial flowers. I'm using artificial baby's breath from Walmart/Hobby Lobby in our centerpieces and then the bouquets/corsages/boutonnieres are all from Amazon and Ling's Moment.

    All of our flowers will be real except for our centerpieces. We decided to do fake flowers for the centerpieces to save money and be able to do everything beforehand. Hobby Lobby has a lot of nice quality fake flowers!

    I ordered wooden flowers from Southern blooms co! They offer so many different options and have pretty good sales from time to time. Flowers 1

    I am also a huge advocate for fake flowers. I have saved so much money by doing fake flowers! I agree, Hobby Lobby has a great selection and they are pretty well priced. Keep an eye out on all of the craft stores' ads (JoAnn's, Michael's, Hobby Lobby, etc.) if you find a good coupon, take it to your store of choice and see if they will match it! Some stores even offer bouquet making classes too!

    We chose Ling's Moment for majority of our fake flowers! We did 6 bridesmaid's bouquets, 6 corsages, 12 bouts for $250. My bouquet I bought two of their boxes of flowers and some greenery/succulents from Michael's from $100. I saved so much money going this route, I even have flowers left over for other decorations.

    My bouquet:

    We simply didn't care about flowers enough to incorporate real ones. The centerpiece flowers are fake as well as the flowers my bridesmaids are going to be holding

    I honestly think fake flowers are the best way to go for centerpieces. There's no chance of them dying or looking floppy and if you have lots of kids at your wedding/reception (*cough*me*cough*), they can't ruin them as bad! 😅

    We used fake flowers, it saved a lot of money and time. Plus I didn’t have to worry about caring for the flowers and making sure that they didn’t die.
