Real flowers or silk?

I chose to do fake.

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

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!

These are SO pretty.

Beautiful!!!
