    I had been planning on doing all my own flowers for both the ceremony and reception. I LOVE peonies, and luckily, they are in season here in November.

    I orderd a few bunches last November and had a trial run, which came out fine.

    However, since then, the company I ordered them trhough has gone out of business. I can't find any others that sell peonies directly. The markets where I plan on getting the majority of the flowers for the reception, don't stock them.

    I stumbled across a seller on etsy who's fake flowers, I think, are gorgeous.

    Now I'm thinking maybe I'll buy fake flowers for the bouquets/ boutinerres and do fresh flowers for the reception.

    WDYT? I've seen plenty of fake flowers that LOOK fake and tacky, and that's definitely not what I want.

    I think they look great, but what do they look like from the side? To me, the stem is what really gives away most fakes that I have seen.

    I am doing fake flowers for all the flowers because everyone seems to be allergic to something. These look like amazing fake flowers. Good luck finding the ones you want for the reception, but I'd say these look like a keeper.

    oh, but I want to add-- I'm not sure they look like "real" ranunculus if that's what you are going for. They have that "artistic, hand-made" quality to them, like paper flowers, which I think are gorgeous.
