| real flowers are a must for me!!!! i hate silk flowers because i think they are gaudy looking. to me a wedding should be with fresh flowers. it just seems to make for a beautiful reception with fresh flowers in empire vases on the tables. |

| Real is always better. Yes, silk will last but you can always dry out the real flowers. It will be nicer that way, even if it costs more. |

| My daughter had real flowers at her wedding. It made for a much prettier effect. I'd go with the real. |

| If you can afford them, real is always better. |

| Real flowers are just so much more classy and beautiful for such a special occasion. |

| I don't hate silk flowers like a lot of people on this board do, I believe with a good amount of hard work they can look just as nice as real. But when the choice is given to me I always prefer real. The smell, and the feel of them can not be replicated. |

| I'm using real, but not a whole lot of them for my wedding. I'm having a florist make an archpiece and a long centerpiece for our head table, then buying the rest of the flowers I need in bulk. I will use these flowers to make the bouquets (simple dome-shaped ones), boutenniers, and centerpieces for some tables (just put some flowers in vases I already have). The website theknot.com even has step-by-step instructions for making bouquets and bout's. This is very manageable if you don't want something ornate and extravagant. I'm spending under $300 for all these flowers.Good luck! |
