Silk Flowers.......

Hiya, i got silk button holes from ebay bargin 12 for £5 they look lovely,one of the best men has hayfever, felt too guilty getting fresh flowers! lol.

I was maid of honour at a wedding where apart from the church everything was silk flowers. They looked really beautiful and I still have my bouquet.

In fact my parents have been married 25 years and my mum still has their silk top table decoration x

Oh wow thanks guys, love that your mum still has her top table decoration Seren86!!

Maybe i'll just take the plunge and try them.....!

I have silk flowers for my bouquet and they look absolutely beautiful. I bought them as separate stems though, and a florist friend has made them up for me. Not sure if that makes a difference, but I got to choose exactly what was in the bouquet.

Sorry don't have a flash.

Go to a florists. They almost all will have examples. I know it's morbid but ones that are near to cemetries tend to specialise in Silk flowers and sometimes have gorgeous examples of what they could do wedding wise.

We're having fresh flowers in church and everything else silk as we live almost two hours from the wedding venue so it's just one thing I can organise miles in advance x

Some of the ones i like on ebay are from a business seller -The essexweddingflower - if anybody has heard of them..

was thinking about just having silk bouquet for me, a posy for my MOH and BM, wrist corsages for my little BM's and then buttonholes for the guys...

We aren't spending on real flowers at all - using ones from the garden and lots of lavender and fresh corn.

Feel free to have a look through my albums, they are all artificial:

Oh great thanks Sherrie i will do - do you have prices on your website??xx

No but if you email me with anything you like I can quote for you.

Quite true actually - I do a lot of funeral work in artificial.

HI i make silk flowers- just an example here is a pic of one- they do look very real.
