Silk flowers

Kailyn, on January 22, 2019 at 9:31 AM Posted in Style and Décor 0 26
Hello! My friend just told me about silk flowers, and I can’t believe how real they look in photos! Has anyone seen these in person or plan on using them?

    Hi Kailyn! Silk flowers are a wonderful alternative to buying real flowers for your wedding! They do look very realistic and can be reused after the wedding! There are many people in the community who are planning to use them! You can see more in this discussion: Silk flowers? Artificial flowers?

    What type of flowers did you have in mind for your wedding? Smiley flower

    I bought a few silk to play around with, but if you want the ones that actually look real, they can cost the same if not more than real flowers. We opted for real flowers because it was actually cheaper than going all silk. We ordered in bulk from Sams Club, they should be here tomorrow! I paid $345 for all of my wedding flowers.

    I'm going with silk, as it's going to be cheaper than real, and they last forever!! I'm not doing floral centerpieces or decor, only BP flowers.

    My bouquet, the BM bouquets, Groom and GM boutannieres, and a couple of corsages. I found a gal on Etsy, storefront name is DressMyWedding. Her stuff is amazingly beautiful and fits in my budget!!

    I thought so too!! I found her through another bride here on WW! She had posted pictures of her bridal bouquet, and I thought they were real flowers. I was stunned when she told me they were silk!! So, I asked her for the seller's name, and found her right on Etsy! It was so easy, and everything is so beautiful!!

    I haven't placed my order yet, but I can't wait!! I'm so relieved too, because this was one area of my planning that I was really stressing out about. No more stress!!

    All of these looks amazing. I plan on using silk flowers as well for my groomsmen and bridesmaids. I'm doing a brooch bouquet for myself.

    Thank you! I was surprised at how real they could look! I definitely recommend buying individual flowers rather than bunches to anyone looking into them. They look way more real and high quality! I got mine at JoAnn’s

    I had originally wanted to use silk but I just love real flowers too much. So I decided to go with real flowers. You can check out Michaels or hobby lobby for silk flowers.

    I got them at JoAnn’s as individual sprays. I think they have discontinued a lot of the flowers I have but I was recently there and they still have really nice individual flowers
