    Has anyone here used fake flowers for their bouquet? I'm just curious because I've seen some online that actually look decent. If so, can you post pics?

    I'm curious too.  I have severe allergies.  Other than bouquets, I'm not sure if we can have real flowers.

    Look for real touch fake flowers.  They look pretty good.  There are a couple sites on line like afloral.com that you can a single flower cheap to take a look at.

    I used all fake flowers for my bouquet and it turned out fantastic! Everyone really loves it, but it did take awhile to make (sorry it is a bad picture):

    I got my flowers at Hobby Lobby and Michael's when they were 50% off (usually once a month they both run the 50% off promotion, or sometimes B1G1 at Michael's) The bouquet cost me $35.

    We're using fake flowers (fiance has allergies). We got all our flowers and supplies at Hobby Lobby during half-off sales, too :)

    I only have cell phone pics that I took to send my MOH, but here you go!

    Looks good! I'm still on the fence. I'm thinking about just buying carnations in bulk and making a DIY bouquet because I like the look of a lot of them bunched together and from what I've seen online it doesn't look hard. Alfa, I see you're from VA Beach, that's where I'm getting married! :)

    I'm getting silk flowers done... only reason is because i want to keep them :) plus frangipanis seem to die really fast after being picked.

    I did my bridal bouquet and the bridesmaids too with silk flowers I got at Hobby Lobby.  I have a picture of mine but not the bridesmaids...

    Ashimmin, I like the rhinestone detailing on yours. Did you place all of those individually or did they come in the bands like that?

    @AnnDreeUh, thanks!  They were actually strips made to put on flip flops, but I just cut them the length that I needed them to be and you just peel off the backing and put them on!

    I got some real touch from save on crafts.  I put three of their smaller bouquets together to make mine (it's not perfectly arranged yet), and my maids will each have one smaller bouquet.  I love the way they look!

    It's so great to see all of these! I thought I was going crazy to want silk flowers for all of my wedding bouquets but apparently I'm not :P
