What are people's experiences with flowers? Artificial or real? Trying to save as much money as I can as a small budget and my fiances family is huge! So would it be in my best interest to look at real flowers or artificial? Opinions? Thanks xx

I might skip the flowers completely tbh, first thing I'm not really a flower person, secondly budget is a big thing, and thirdly I'll be carrying them around all day so I've not made my mind up there 😂

If you have your heart set on real get as much 'filler' as possible and only have a few key blooms. For example roses are expensive but rather having just blooms fill it with greenery and filler flowers like baby's breath. They make your chosen blooms pop and lower the price significantly. Also be aware of your seasons. Roses in summer are always cheaper than in winter. And oriental flowers will have extra shipping costs so will also bump up the price.
