Wedding: Fake vs Real Flowers?
Hello! I want the pros vs cons on using fake compared to real flowers. I am not a big flower person, what do you recommend or what have your past experiences been? What is easier, cheaper, and the best overall. Maybe if I go with fake flowers for the bridesmaids & a real bouquet for myself? HELP! Thanks ahead of time!

You can save quite a bit of money going with silk flowers if you purchase pre-made bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages.
Another pro to silk flowers is that your bridal party can keep them as keepsakes.
Also, you can purchase silk flowers ahead of time and do not have to worry about the hassle of keeping them cool or keeping them watered. The temperature at your wedding won't matter if you have silk flowers. Real flowers can be touchy, and I've seen them wilt quickly at summer weddings. The fragile nature of real flowers allows them to bruise, wilt, and tear very easily with handling.
If you don't feel comfortable making your own silk wedding flowers, or do not like the pre-made options, there are several silk floral designers who can put together gorgeous customized wedding flowers just for you!

Go look at some nice fake flowers and see for yourself. Have your friend buy a bouquet of each and put them side by side and see if you can tell the difference.

Good silk flowers could be just expensive as real flowers.
You do not have to use flowers for bouquet. Google non flower bouquet, you will see some things people used.
I think it's real up to the person what they use.
Some people will never used fake flowers, other have no problem. Some people do not use flowers at all.
What you use, is only up to you. Look at fake and real, price and see what you like. Look at non flowers options as well, one maybe perfect for you

It's really best to have real flowers for all the attendants. You don't have to get anything expensive, in all seasons there are lots of options.
Save the silk flowers for centerpieces and decoration.
