I’ve been debating fake flowers vs real flowers for so long… I’m against using fresh flowers that will die immediately, but you can’t deny how pretty they are. My Future Father-In-Law owns a Hobby Lobby and offered to make our flowers, but I was so scared I would hate it and just have to deal with it. But this weekend we visited for thanksgiving and I sat down with their florist and she put this together for me, and it is SO BEAUTIFUL! Hobby Lobby has such gorgeous flowers, I really recommend them if you want to do a fake bouquet!

Gorgeous, my dear! I’m going the fake route, as well. I like the idea of having it ready to go before the wedding, as well as that I can keep it after the ceremony! 🙂

@brideatbeach: Exactly! When FI’s mom brought out the cobalt blue cup to take pictures in, I knew thats the kind of vase I wanted for when we permanently display it. I’m beyond happy, this is everything that I wanted 🙂
@BlueChampagne: Thanks! People kept telling me that maybe purple and blue would look gloomy, but I think its so romantic..

@dynamic_duo: This is a pretty full bouquet (for me, I’m small) but I was so surprised this bouquet came out to $50! Flowers are always 50% off at Hobby Lobby so that definitely helped but they have the biggest selection of flowers I’ve ever seen too.

I wouldn’t have guesses those were fake flowers if you hadn’t mentioned it. Very pretty!

Yay! I’m so glad you guys think these look real. I wondered if I should leave out the fake part and see what everyone thought, but so many brides worry over fake flowers I thought I’d let everyone know up front. I hope this makes those girls that are fretting over it feel better! Fake flowers can look awesome!

I think @doctorbee28 was just giving an honest opinion, which she is allowed to do.
