    Personally I'm into real flowers, however have just looked at your link and those flowers don't look bad at all - go with your gut feeling, at the end of the day you need to be sure you are going to be happy holding and showing them off - good luck!

    i am having fake foam ones, i have got them at a good price and they are supposed to look quite real, i found that the price for real ones was over my budget so have to compromise but fingers crossed they will still look nice x

    Personally I prefer real. But you can get some gorgeous silk ones. And the plus side of them is you can keep them. Mine will die :(
