    Hi all,

    I bought my flowers today, put a rubbish picture from my phone on my page. Just wondered what everyone else is doing for flowers? I bought 6 bouquets for less than £30 and they look really real and and really good. Plus I can keep them forever. And we are al allergic to pollen so it saves us having streaming eyes and sneezing down the aisle xxx

    we haven't got as far as sorting out flowers yet but h2b has really bad hayfever so silk flowers are looking like an option for us!

    We have decided on artifical flowers, mainly due to hayfever sufferers (my pops and h2b) I haven't got much more further than that at the moment (the only thing i have decided on is i want blue yellow and white artificial flowers, i don't think the florist is gonna like me too much when i get around to it lol)

    Im having all silk flowers except the top table as the hotel is supplying them as part of the package. Chose silk so my little bridesmaid and I can keep them and I can sell on all table flowers etc... on bay of e to try and recoup some of the money. They look just as good as real without the hefty price tag. xx

    Im having real flowers, if Im honest, If I had done my research properly and not been lazy, I would have had silk ones as I think they look just as nice.

    Thanks for the support guys! This was my first post and I'm glad people responded. I got the flowers from a wholesaler, country baskets. Because I run my own business and sometimes get things from there for events I have a membership card so decided to use it! But I would recommend trying wholesalers if you can as they can be very cheap and the quality is amazing! Mine are now sat in a box in the living room so I keep sneaking a peek when I walk past I love them so much!!

    I think if you have the time and resources making your own bouquets is an amazing thing to do but then I'm a very DIY bride and a bit of a control freak so I like to make sure everything is done my way!!
