Dried, Silk or Live flowers?

Alicia, 11 January, 2022 at 08:39 Posted on Planning 0 3
Im due to get married next year and thought I'd have a look at the cost of bouquets for myself and my three bridesmaids but was so shocked at how expensive they are! I understand why they are this way, but we're having a super small evening wedding and doing everything so low cost, this definitely wasn't a price I was expecting!
Would you recommend getting a dried flower bouquet, silk flowers (I think they're stunning but are often most expensive) or just go for a traditional flower bouquet? And do you know of any lower priced but still lovely florists / people that could supply them? Colour scheme is whites and greens, maybe a tiny touch of red/pink. Thank you!!

    Have a look on Etsy for fake bouquets as there are lots on there, and some are cheap but I worry about the quality, I would look for ones that are UK based.

    Another thought, could your BMS just have 2/3 long stems tied together, keep it simple and you can do it yourself by just buying a few stems or even a supermarket bouquet. If they are little ones we are having little carry baskets with oasis and making our own with a few flowers and lots of gypsophila and greenery, will be around £15 each in total

    My bridesmaids are having “fake” bouquets off Etsy and then I’m having a real flower bouquet on the day. They’re in our hands for literally 2 minutes so I haven’t budgeted a lot for them.
