Real flowers or silk?

Does it make a wedding look cheap if the bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets and boutineers are silk flowers? Can you tell in photos that they’re fake? Real flowers will cost me around $400 versus fake flowers will cost around $200 or less. Anyone have any photos of their wedding with fake flowers?

I chose to do fake.
I am not doing traditional bouquets but I have attached them to give you an idea...

Awe those are gorgeous! Fake seems to be where it’s at since you can save them forever 🤷🏻‍♀️❤️

Thank you!!
That was exactly my reasoning. Keep them forever and save some money on that to spend a little more on something else
I got all of my flowers at Michaels for 50% off. so I saved even more than I initially thought!
Real flowers wasn't something that I had my heart set on so I was able to overlook the idea of real flowers very easily considering how much money I could save and get some quality crafting time in!

I'm doing silk flowers. My bridesmaids bouquets were semi-DIY (I took apart and put back together premade Michaels bouquets), but my bouquet was from Etsy. I think they're pretty and I'm sure they'll turn out lovely in the pro photos, but tbh, you can tell they're fake and I don't care at all. I've been to weddings decorated with silk flowers and they're beautiful, but most of all, 99% of people literally don't care one bit and wouldn't judge you or even notice either way 😂so if you aren't totally set on real ones, go with the easier and cheaper options!

Mine are silk fake flowers too. It was alot cheaper and it would be nice to have my bouquet forever. You can definitely find a nice selection of fake flowers at a local craft store or something for pretty cheap.
