| depends on your budget and you! our family weddings have been a mixture of fresh flowers and silks, and it really is a personal preference. if you are thinking of doing your own bouquets then silks are easier to work with. and you can save yourself a lot of money by making your own bouquets sweetie. its relatively easy and you can do them a month or more ahead of time if you want to. you can get all the supplies you need at a craft store such as michael's or even joann's. boutinierres and corsages are generally fresh flowers but the rest can be silks, your bouquets, your floral arrangements, your centerpieces, can all be silk flowers if you wish. have a look at some good quality silks before you make up your mind, and like i said you could easily make your own bouquets if you use the silks. good luck and happy wedding! |

| I'll get thumbed down like crazy but.....I prefer silks (high quality ones, not dollar store) for a number of reasons: 1. I can have any flower and as many as I want without worrying about the smell being too powerful. I've been to weddings that competely reek of floral and you have to take breaks outside just to get air. 2. No worries about wilting, are they in season, are they at their best blooming period?, etc. 3. I can shop sales and get them dirt cheap and don't have to pay a florist to arrange them. 4. After the wedding I have the option of a keepsake or I can re-sell them to recoup some of my money5. They come in "unatural" colors. For instance a dusty blue hydrangea doesn't happen in real life but in Silk World anything is possible6. Nobody is allergic to silk flowers so I don't have to worry about runny noses and sneezing guests (or my HTB lol) |

| Real most definitely. Silk flowers just don't look that good to me. |

| Real flowers due to the fragrance. Cosco has flowers and they are reasonable. |

| I always prefer real flowers. I have never seen any realistic-looking silks. Unless you are getting exotic flowers, most fresh flowers are cheaper than many silks you find. |
