Hi everyone . Are anyone buying fresh/real flowers or having artificial flower/ or mixture of both ? I like the fact of artificial bouquet. For keepsake reasons.

I'm having artificial .. Not just because of the keepsake but to avoid any colour transfer x

I had real but had my bouquet and my husbands buttonhole preserved by Precious Petals so I still get to keep it!

Artificial for us as everyone gets to keep their bouquet/buttonhole and we both suffer badly from hayfever!

Having real flowers, not a fan of artificial personally. Doing them myself so won't cost alot.

My boquet will be a mix. Im having an unusual one made from pine cones and jute flowers.

I had artificial flowers for my 1st wedding. The day after my 21st birthday 1991😱 But I am about to marry h2b and I still would like to keep my flowers. Real or artificial. Who cares. If they are fresh You will never press them 🤗🤔🤗

i thought of artificial, then realised that none of all the flowers in my wedding would be real. so im making my own and follow youtube tutorials. im buying them wholesale in trianglenursery.co.uk out of the suggested number or flower heads per bouquet.

I'm going for real as I'm having hydrangeas and I've found they can be quite pricey (well they are on the places I've looked!) I'm going to by wholesale and do them myself. Xx

Artificial for all bouquets, button holes, as im anaphylactic to bee and wasp stings so trying to avoid this happening.
But having some fresh lavender/heather in my centre peices for some fragrance and colour. X

I’m having artificial, like others have said, it’s cheaper and you can keep them. Plus I’m always worried about pollen and staining with real flowers! Not to mention allergies!

Unless you are allergic I would always go fresh flowers - you cannot replicate the scent with artificial.
One whiff of freesia and it brings back so many memories for me.

I was gonna go with artificial but got a quote from a florist and it is very reasonable.. So think the wedding party will have real flowers and decoration maybe artificial. X

Mine will be a mixture of both. The florist said the flowers I want will look better artificial to get the colour right but she is mixing it with real ones too x
