To use real flowers or fake...?

We are using a mix of artificial and real flowers, mainly for ease of set-up (We can set-up before/after the rehearsal). We ordered artificial foam/silk flowers from Ling’s Moment for our signage, pew flowers (x24), altar centerpieces (x2), flower girl petals, cocktail tables (also using these at my bridal shower), and head table (not pictured) at the reception. We plan on having real bouquets, boutonnières, corsages, and centerpieces for the reception (although we definitely could have simply ordered all artificial flowers).

I’m doing real flowers but my venue is really pretty and the chapel is glass so I don’t need as much floral because of the natural beauty.

I'm doing a mix of artificial and real. My bouquet and most of the decor will be artificial flowers and then the centerpiece flowers will be real. I enjoy floral arrangement as a hobby (very, very novice but like it enough that I want to do my own). That being said, I'm also not having a ton of flowers, if I planned on having a lot I'd probably go with real flowers from a professional florist. I got my artificial flowers from Ling's Moments, I've recommended them a bunch on here. You can get diy box sets or they have pre-made decor and bouquets. Here are some of the artificial flowers, they look pretty real to me. The back is obviously fake but I don't mind because people won't see the back.

I'm using fake flowers because it's in my budget.

I did artificial ones mostly for cost saving measures

Fake! Try Kochetova's store on etsy that's who ill use.

We’re doing real flowers. There is no comparison with the look and scent. Also we found real flowers to be half the price of artificial. Yes you can find silks at Joann or Michaels but they cost more than out of season fresh flowers to look remotely realistic. We don’t plan to keep any to display because that is what photos are for. And real flowers are biodegradable which artificial are not and will sit in a landfill forever.
