    Who has used silk flowers in their wedding? I'm looking into it. Does anyone know any good silk wedding flower websites?

    Are you looking to DIY or purchase bouquets made of silk flowers?

    DIY: Afloral.com, Hobby Lobby (we don't have this store in Cali but I've heard it around the boards), Michael, Jo-Ann's Fabrics, Save-On Crafts, etc.

    For pre-made: Wedideas.com, DebbieCoflowers.com, Afloral.com, etc.

    I purchased real-touch gerbera daisies from Afloral.com and they look great!

    We're doing silk flowers for the inside of our centerpieces (they're those kraft block things that look like the blocks from glass windows if that makes any sense whatsoever) and we just got them at Flower Factory. They don't feel real at all, but since they're inside a glass block, that didn't really matter to us :).

    I bought the stems from Afloral.com and not a pre-made bouquet. I'm waiting for my MOH and BM to come to town so that we can arrange them together. When we do I will post some pictures for you.

    My mother is already working on my silk flowers for our wedding next May.  We went to Garden Ridge pottery.  She did both my sister's weddings with silk flowers.  She even took some flowers from my old bouquet from my sister's wedding  and put them in my bridal bouquet!  I love that I will have the bouquet forever!

    I made mine out of silk flowers. I got them at a wholesale place in miami called Chan's Silk Flowers, I'm not sure where you are located, but the website is chansilkflowers.com and they have a bunch of wedding supplies not only flowers.  Also save-on-crafts.com has a lot of good stuff and ideas.  I went with silks because I wanted green cymbidium orchids and they would have been practically impossible for me to get live ones, and also I wanted hydrangeas and the live ones don't hold up very well.

    I used a vendor through ETSY. I got my bouquets, corsages and bouts and they are all gorgeous.

    Her name on ETSY is AngelLoftCreations

    here is a link to my purchase http://www.etsy.com/transaction/34093100

    If you want to see more photos PM me- I have tons.  Lisa was amazing to work with. She made numerous changes for me and was always super quick to respond to me.

    All of my bouquets are silk flowers. I bought them from AR Design on Etsy. They were custom for me, I just told her I wanted sunflowers in all the bouquets. I think they look great and will photograph well for the big day.
