I'm having real flowers for the bouquets which I will do myself (I want a simple hand-tied bunch). For the table centrepieces and flowers in tall glasses I am having fake (really realistic) and will be doing them myself. As it is all white roses it shouldn't be difficult. Good luck with whatever you choose.

I’m leaning more towards button bouquets as something that can be kept forever ❤️

Fake as it's cheaper and several members of our wedding party have bad hayfever. Getting them done by a florist as I just don't have time for diy xD

Were having a mix of dried flowers and fabric flowers. My mum and I spent mothers day making them. They came out better than I thought they would

Fake flowers for us, H2B has really bad hayfever and it would massively affect him having real ones. I'm buying pre-made bouquets and boutonnieres but I'm doing all the table flowers and flower girls myself

We had paper flowers hand made. So many guests commented on how beautiful and unique they were.

Real flowers all around. My sister had fake for her wedding and they just ended up getting dusty in drawers. It's just one day so I'd rather just splash out. It's not often I buy flowers

We're having a geeky wedding so our flowers are going to be made of old books and prints of comics, this is also because alot of people in our families are majorly allergic to flowers and they will also make a good keepsake

I'm using artificial flowers. I've seen a few clips on YouTube that shows you how to make them. Getting the flowers off of ebay. Saving so much money buy doing it myself.

Real for us, from a Florist. We just decided fake wasn't for us. But if we have decoration on tables with flowers or something that will be fake.
