    I'm going with fake flowers. Real are beautiful but my allergies do not agree with real flowers.

    Real flowers. I love gardening and flowers so fake never crossed my mind. I don't think I've actually ever seen fake flowers at a wedding I've attended.

    Real. I hate fake flowers. My mom used them for decorative pieces in the house and I grew up swearing I wouldn't allow them in my home. If I won't let them in my house, no way I'm using them for my wedding.

    We did real flowers for the bouquets and did not include any floral pieces for our decor to save money. I attempted several times to put fake flower bouquets together with florals from Michaels and Hobby Lobby but they just looked bad. I finally decided I wanted real and I"m so happy we went that route. The bouquets were one of my favorite pieces of our wedding and just having the smell of real flowers in my face while walking down the aisle made everything more real...sorry not sure how to describe. It felt natural and right lol.

    Fake. I made my own so it's exactly what I want. Plus, it was more budget friendly.

    Our bridal party and ceremony will be with real flowers only.

    We did use silk for centerpieces. Apparently FH family take centerpieces home? I never heard of anyone doing that but whatever.

    I had a bunch of clear vases from flower gifts and candy bars, which I spray painted gold. Flowers were not cheap. I spent about $300 here.

    Real, because I feel like everyone can tell when they're fake.

    Real flowers. I personally don't like fake flowers, you can always tell they are fake (yes, even the "good" fake flowers).

    Real. Fake always looks fake. Plus, I don't have the time, skill, or storage space to do my own fake flowers.

    Real and from a professional florist. Nothing compares to real in my eyes. Fake flowers also wouldn't fit into the look and feel of the wedding.

    Our centerpieces will be fake flowers and our bouquets will be real. Simple small white rose bouquets for my bridesmaids and a very colorful fall flower bouquet for mine. I didn't want to make my own bouquets because I really don't have an eye for that kind of stuff and to be honest I'd rather pay someone to handle that for me.

    Fake flowers. Put them together sooner and don't have to make sure we have all bouquets in vases of water
