Has anyone used foam roses? We really can’t afford to spend tonnes on flowers but silk ones never look convincing, I’ve heard good things about them but just wanted to know how many people has used them for their wedding?

I made my own foam bouquets and button holes. Worked out far cheaper than real ones and they last forever! I think the silk ones look cheap compared to the foam ones

I have ordered silk for mine and they look amazing, I felt the foam ones looked really fake and were obviously not real! x

I've had foam roses in 2 bridesmaid bouquets. Hey work really well and look really pretty. They hold their shape a lot better than silk so I'd definitely go with them :)

I had silk flowers and they were gorgeous, you'd never have known. Foam roses look more obviously fake to me, but they're still nice

These are our artificial ones - loved the idea of being able to keep them and to be able to gift them too. Got everything - buttonholes, bridesmaid bouquets, brides teardrop bouquet, large table piece for top table, and decorated wreaths for part of the centrepieces.
Everlasting flowers by jo - you can find her on fb and eBay!! Great service and prices!!

We had this trouble so instead of trying to make them look real we took a more rustic root. My sister made this.

I haven't yet but will be making my own bouquets. I found foam roses in the colours I want on ebay. 200 for less then £24. There are YouTube videos on how to make them that are good. I like one called bouquets by Nicole. She tells you what u need. Hope this helps. X
