Recommendations for Silk Flowers For My Wedding?

Personally, I can recommend fake flowers. You can keep them forever, you don't have to worry about them being fresh, picking them up on the wedding day or being affected by heat/bees or you suffering allergies.

I bought my wedding flowers off Ebay. They are white roses, baby pink frangipanis in a tear drop bouquet, with five matching bridemaids bouqets.

When they were delivered they were so pretty! They look absolutely real, and were so professionally done. I would recommend not to buy really 'cheap' packages, I spent a 'medium' amount but the quality is amazing.

Check the seller's feedback before buying, but my flowers were just amazing.

Good luck

Well, I didn't purchase mine online & I wouldn't recommend it. I'm using real flowers for my wedding but in the beginning, I had intended to use artificial. I bought some gorgeous orchids at Michael's. Don't know where you're located but I would go to the craft store first. There's a big range of prices & the more you spend, the better they look. I've seen some that were really cheap & had strings hanging off, and then online they were selling the exact same flowers for the same price, and they looked perfect in the pictures, which they definitely are not.

I agree with the Hobby Lobby recommendations. Beautiful. The flowers are expensive, but I hear the stores often have huge sales.

Don't discount Wal-mart. The Teters flowers that Wal-mart carries are great; they are high-quality silks, just about as good as those found at Hobby Lobby but a bit cheaper on a day-to-day basis. You just have to be sure to be in the right section; Wal-mart also carries silks of much lower quality.

Good luck.

I wouldn't go with many of the fake flowers you can find in hooby shops and $2 stores as the quality just isn't there and they really can look fake.

Ask some of the florists around you if they do false flowers and you will be surprised when you find them. I have fake flowers in my house that i have had people ask what variety of rose they were because they had no smell at all. Nobody notices there is no water in the vase!

If you are in australia i can reccomend a fabulous silk flower lady who is not very expensive but her work is amazing. I can also point you to a few websites but once again they are in Australia.

I'd ask around at a few florists near you to see what's available in your area otherwise send me and email and i'll give you the contact for my flower lady. I don't know if she ships overseas (never had to ask) but she might be able to help you out.

I would be hesitant about ordering them. I like to see first hand what I am getting. Here's a thought--contact a florist about renting silk arrangements. I know that a few years back it was possible and maybe still is. Good luck.

Some of the prettiest flowers I've seen have come from Michaels.

To keep them from looking "fake", spray them with hairspray.

Good luck :)

Hobby Lobby have some really good things.They also have a designer..we used silks. You might be able to add some fresh filler to yours to add to the look.If not it will be fine..

Michael's, Hobby Lobby, or any other craft store. I'm not much for ordering things online for events. I'd rather know what I'm getting.

I had a lady at my church do my flowers, and I think she just picked them up from a craft store.
