    We nixed altar decor because I knew the flowers would be out of our budget.  But I had a flash of genius this morning.  What about fake flowers?  No one would be close enough to know they were fake, and I think they could be a lot cheaper than a florist could provide.

    I know absolutely NOTHING about flower arranging or how much fakes cost.  I'd be going to Michaels or AC Moore.  Can someone give me a ballpark of how much I could expect to pay there?  And how difficult something like this would be to make?

    Here is my inspiration...basically rose and hydrangea with some greens (probably not this large):

    No idea on cost, but if you go with Michaels, they usually have 20% off coupons in wedding magazines and they accept competitor coupons. AC Moore pretty much always has a 40% off one item couponm online.

    I thought about doing that too but I just nix the idea all together. I hope I get inspired closed to the wedding to get myself together to get them done. Post pictures if you do them!
