Debating if I should go all artificial or all real flowers for my bouquet. Any suggestions?

    Real all the way. I love the smell of fresh florals and feel it is completely worth the money. Centerpieces are packed to go for guests, bouquet gets dried and the rest are donated to local hospitals.

    All the bridesmaids are holding a single flower and all the flowers including centerpieces are fake flowers, and we wouldn't of had it in any other way

    We are having fake flowers for budget, but that's just fine with me. I'm 100% a hoarder so I'm okay with having flowers I can keep forever. Maybe someday I could pass them on to a relative.

    I am doing fake flowers for the centerpieces and boutonnieres. Then, real for my bouquet and the bridesmaids, as well as the corsages.

    I plan on doing fake, because I feel it would be cheaper.

    No shame in using faux or real or a combo of both! Honestly, faux might be the way to go with some species that might be high in demand that have a slow growth/ reproductive rate. Thats a big reason I'm using some faux for my plant themed wedding

    I think you should do artificial, your real flowers are going to wilt and die and they will probably be expensive.

    I would do real flowers. My florists said they would look better and real flowers is going to be about the same price as artificial.

    I’m going with faux. A friend of mine got married last year and used fake flowers. They were so realistic you couldn’t tell really. And it was fun putting together the bouquets ourselves. Saved a lot of money in the end!

    We're on a budget, so we're definitely going faux!

    I put her info somewhere back on page 1 of this thread. She works off of Instagram. I’m driving and can’t remember her handle right now.
