    I'm looking for some cute, small flowers, like daisies, to put in my hair, but I'm having a really hard time finding ones that look real, like so real you have to look twice. I'm prepared to pay more, does anyone know of anywhere online that ships internationally that has realistic looking artificial flowers?

    I am not sure about daisies, but both of these sell real touch flowers.

    i actually happened to attend a wedding this past weekend where they used very realistic looking artificial flowers for centerpieces!  maybe you can look into them even though i know you were just interested in a couple flowers...  i think they're super new.

    @wellykiwi: You are very welcome :-)

    I have not ordered from they yet, but I do plan to. I know some of the other bees have ordered from both places. I suggest just ordering a sample/one flower from each place and then see if they will work for you.

    saveoncrafts.com actually has real flowers that are preserved, maybe you could try this instead of fake ones.  They even smell good!

    I ordered all my centerpieces/bouquets from www.wedideas.com . You can order samples from them too, they have some flowers in Real Touch.

    @wellykiwi: I just purchased real touch daisies from afloral.com in white, orange and yellow. They are in the mail now and are scheduled to arrive on Saturday. I will let you know as soon as I get them if they look real.
