I'm having both, real for adults and centre pieces and artificial for the children. The lady doing the artificial flowers has matched them to the real flowers.

I'm going for artificial as you can keep them as a beautiful decoration on your fireplace and it's a constant reminder of your beautiful day

I'm on a budget ha! Artificial ones for the important ones, and some artificial ivy etc to decorate the tables, and then I'm buying some fresh ones from supermarkets the day before for the centre pieces! This is my bouquet

I'm getting dried flowers. They look lovely, keep for ages so can be picked up a few weeks in advance, and are loads cheaper than fresh flowers (also on a budget) :)

I was going to have artificial but decided on fresh instead and so glad I did. I loved my flowers and it's started a tradition with my husband. Every anniversary he buys me blue and cream roses ️️

I'm not fussed about flowers and neither is h2b so we're just having paper ones and they fit in more with our theme...

I had real flowers, search around!! I ended up having my bouquet 4 bridesmaid bouquets 11 button holes and 12 table arrangements for £160! The only time I'd say go artificial is if you want to keep the flowers x

Fresh always not just the thing it's the smell also and the hard work and. Craft it takes to create you'd be amazed tees fresh will cost you more but think this way the florist has desvussed everything you want put their heart and sole into making them look their best sourced the best and some wedding can take a florist two three days sometimes to make so keep that in mind when shopping you go shopping if you don't go for orchids and exotic Lilly's your price prob work out just as much as artificial

Fresh and having them everywhere i love the smell the feel the look and will be drying them and pressing them afterwards for keeping. We already had a handfasting so have our flower crown dried from that already!

Bridesmaids are carrying hoops like this with pale and peach flowers.
