Would like opinions pls- flowers real or artificial???

I personally prefer and will be having real flowers, but a HIB on here does silk flowers for weddings and they do look fab.

Hi,

I had silk ones, and loved them. Everyone commented on them, and the lady that made my cake said the topper was the nicest she'd seen. Sherrie at Aisle be Yours did mine.

Pics are here if you'd like another look: http://www.kodakgallery.co.uk/ShareLanding.action?c=ozsjm7x.sxuqlxh5&x=1&y=fr4tup&localeid=en_GB use *********@*******.*** and libby2006 to log in.

Yeah the ones I had been looking at were silk, I'm not a fan of flowers at the best of times, TBH I kind of think they are a waste of money but I do understand why others love them, I was thinking that as well as the fact they are cheaper you can also keep the bouquet for years to come, still undecided though, thanks for reply Zippy.

Hi Claire

I had a peek at your wedding pics yesterday and would never of guessed the flowers were silk, they were beautiful.

Or what about crystal bouquets?? I loved the one on Four Weddings last night.

I like that too, I saw the one last night but didn't realise it was crystal, can I ask about your wedding shoes, who customised the soles?

I bought sticky rhinestone letters. They come on a clear plastic backing. Got mine from here: http://www.weddingideasshop.com/Items/TC%208817?&caSKU=TC%208817&caTitle=I%20Do%20Rhinestone%20Shoe%20Stickers

They were my something blue!

Thank you, thought to myself when I saw them wot an excellent idea!

Thanks very much for that Mrs SP, very helpful to hear others views, I am definately going for the silk ones now, there are so many gorgeous ones!

Mine was fake - wooden roses...

I now have my bouquet sat in our bedroom in a vase next to a wedding photo and a bridesmaid's bouquet in our spare room in a vase... there's not many brides that can say that! hehehe

My Grandma has the middle one in her living room, which on the day we put on the register table and then on the top table.
