I have tried silk/real touch flowers and I'm hoping to do more. The only thing that scares me about the flowers is that so many brides aren't 100% sure about what they want and I would hate to make something that they didn't like or if we couldn't get on the same page in terms of the vision, but I guess that's why you can always return/add/subtract flowers etc.
Sounds like you have a lot of talent as well! I can't wait to see some of the stuff you have crafted!
