Fake Flowers

That is a grat idea! I didn't reall want to spend MORE money on flowers for our cupcakes... this seems like a nice option!

I really like the idea of fake flowers. I was planning on staying with flowers that are native to CR. I found these great orchids that really deceive the eye. I really like the idea of putting them on the cake. It makes the cake look fresher.

Don't get me wrong or anything, I love fresh flowers, but I want to save money. We shall see. You all were such a great help! Thanks!

I think my friend who is making my cake told me that some flowers cannot be put on cakes, so fake flowers might be your only option. I know I am using calla lilies and those are not okay on food so we have to use fake flowers for the cake anyway.

I'm very pro-fake flowers for some things. I used them in my larger arrangements at the church - they're so far away from the people, they can't tell the difference and those large arrangements are expensive! Also I think they're great for the tables like Jessalyn (?) is using. Serisouly why spend all that $$ on orchids that are going to wilt?!

 

But I used real flowers for my bouquets and my BM's bouquets, corsages etc. I LOVED having the real flowers for my bouquet....they smelled amazing.

 

All that being said, I think my friend is going to use real flowers for her bouquet - it's included in her wedding package anyway, no sense buying anything extra. But she's thinking of using fake ones for the BM/MOH bouquets and her hair. It's definitely a money saver.

 

Also, I remember someone posting a GREAT site for fake flowers on here somewhere....I'll see if I can find it. The pics on the site were really pretty and I was very impressed with the bouquets. I'll post that as soon as I locate it!

Great! I would love to see some pics of fake flower bouquets. I need to see what my mother thinks. Not that she has the final say, but I want to hear what she thinks. For sure fake flowers are going in my hair. I want the fresh flower look to last all day.

Hey Jess,,,,, I just got those Orchids in the mail today and they look AWESOME.. Thank you SOOO much for that site...

[Jessalyn]

yippee! I'm so glad that they are going to work for you. So they really looked as good in person as they appeared to on the website....that is good to know.

Funny this weekend I was at the grocery store and they had real orcids their so I took a really close look at them so I had something to compare them with.. Well when they came in today.. I swear you wouldn't know the differance.. They look awesome.. Really if your considering it, go for it..

I'm so sorry it took me ages to do this! I didn't actually find the post this was originally on, but here's the link to the site.

 

Again, sorry for being such a slacker!

So I have opted for a fake flower bouquet. When I was trying to put the bouquet together the other night it didn’t look nice. The flowers looked real, but I felt silly holding the bouquet. I guess I am going to shell out the extra bucks for a real bouquet.
