Wood flowers vs real flowers

Chelsea, on March 11, 2020 at 10:20 AM Posted in Planning 1 10

Hey!

On a bit of a flower budget and was thinking to get the cost of real flowers down doing wood flowers on my cake and arch. Did you do this? Did you like it? Photos please!

    I plan on using faux flowers for everything, and having my bouquet be wood so I can keep it forever. Faux flowers are very inexpensive and there are good brands that have great quality. I'm not sure the cost of wood flowers if it's more then just a few of them. My wood bouquet will cost around $80 alone.

    Where did you buy yours from? I want to get them for my wedding but I can't find bouquets that I like!

    I want to use wood flowers too! Florists are so expensive where my wedding is.

    I'm planning on using faux flowers maybe wood flowers as well because they have that unique look to them! Real flowers are beautiful but they are pricey, can look wilted after sometime and just die fast. I wanna keep my bouquet! Keep us posted if you find a great place to order them from!

    I'm using wood flowers for my centerpieces, arch, and the bouquets are wood as well! There are many sola wood sites and I know there are plenty of shops on etsy that make the wood bouquets as well.Wood flowers vs real flowers 1

    Didn’t have wood flowers but I had faux florals for bouquets instead and it definitely can be so much more cost effective for sure! And you can keep it as a memento

    For the peach/pink ones they came together like that and I dyed them myself. I'll be adding more to them eventually. I they were originally $10 but got them on sale and with coupons for $2.50 each. The dried filler flowers are usually around 20-25 but also got those on sale for $10. Then the 2 flower one, I got 30 of each I believe already dyed. I don't remember the price of those, but of course got them on sale too. I just added the stems to those ones which are pretty cheap as well for a bundle of them. They always have sales on the sola sites and coupons available so I always wait for the emails and go from there. They're also very helpful with questions about dying the flowers and how to attach stems.

    I love wood flowers! The bouquets are awesome! My aunt is a florist so she is doing all my flowers for $400, but if she was not I would defiantly just use wood flowers for everything. You can even resell them after.
