Is it Tacky to Use Fake Flowers?

I'm not very fond of the idea of spending a bunch of money on real flowers that are just going to die in a couple of days. That being said, we are going to do real flowers for the bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages, but would it be tacky to use fake flowers for the arch/ceremony decor and centerpieces? For centerpieces, we are thinking of doing something simple like in the picture.

    Not tacky but not always inexpensive. The nice ones are worth the money.

    I plan to do real bouquets and simple centerpieces, but fake alter arrangements since no one even gets that close to those. For baby's breath you may be better off going with fake because from what I've read here it smells gross in large quantities

    I used fake for the entire wedding. A friend from work arranged all of them for me and they were gorgeous. Hubs and step son have bad allergies so it worked for us. Best part is my bouquet and alter arrangements are just as pretty today and on display in my home.

    No, its not tacky! But I dont think you will save much. Fake flowers are just as expensive. Plus as another user pointed out babys breath is super cheap!

    Agree Nancy. Height of classlessness and tacky.
