Silk / Faux Flowers for centerpieces

lu_page, 21 May, 2013 at 16:39 Posted on Planning 0 6

Hi All

I am DIYing my centerpieces for my wedding and so far they are looking great. However I have hit a problem. I want to source some silk / faux gerbera's for them but i cant find anywhere apart from Ikea that does them and they dont do them in large quanitites. Could anyone help or have you been in a similar situation?

I am using jam jars wrapped in lace for the centerpieces as i am on a tight budget.

Thanks ?

    Hi,

    We used a wholesaler called Village green for the red roses for my daughter`s wedding, and they were lovely.

    Hope that helps,

    Lynne

    I'm not sure what they cost at ikea, but they are £1.50 at wilkinsons, but you can get 3 for £3. They come in several colours, here is just a pic of one:
