We are working to a tight budget of 12k like they do on don't tell the bride! Unfortunately there wasn't enough money to have real flowers as we decided to spend a little bit more on the venue and catering. I did a lot of research and emailed a few companies and finally decided on one who could supply foam roses. I appreciate they aren't for everyone but they arrived yesterday and they are beautiful! We are going for an autumnal theme so that's why they are quite bright which again I appreciate isn't for everyone! They are really well made and in really impressed. I paid £135 for 5 bridesmaid bouquets, my bouquet, 2 flower girl wands and 5 buttonholes. I've wrapped the stem of mine as I wanted it to look a bit different. If anyone is considering an alternative to real flowers for whatever reason I highly recommend 'The brides bouquet'
