    Hello,

    I am planning on using tiger lillies at my wedding and would like a silk altertative to the real thing. This flower is something like I am talking about:

    However, when I search for silk alternatives all I find is this:

    http://www.artificialweddingflowersbymika.com.au/cms/images/lily/samples/silk_tiger_lily_orange.jpg

    As you can tell from the pictures, the silk flowers are larger and less "curly/shaped" than the natural counterparts with less black accents. Does anyone know where to find a good substitute for the real thing? I am not sure the real ones will be quite in season where & when I am getting married. I know they bloom in late summer here, so it is possible it would work out time wise, but I also don't know about durability for bouquets, etc. I haven't seen the "wild" versions in bouquets much. I don't know if that is because they don't exist commercially or because they aren't common... any help would be appreciated! Thanks. 

    One more thing: all you florists out there, please advise. I am not against using real flowers if I can get them in July/August in central Indiana and if wild tiger lillies can withstand being placed in bouquets for floral arrangements.

    NOTE: Here is an image close to what I would like. I would like Queen Anne's lace/wild carrot mixed in with the Tiger Lillies. I would also like a dash of yellow, but haven't figured out what yet.

    Most silk flowers can be bent into what ever shape you like.

    I got yellow ones at Michael's last week. They were $6 for a "bush" that had 6 stems on it.
