    They have some lovely, very reasonable ones in the Mill of Dunelm. And at least you get to keep them afterwards. x

    i was having all real, then i decided to have all the bouquets and buttonholes silk and keep the pew ends, pedestals and centre pieces real, but after seeing my florist the other week and being able to see my bouque (which i was over the moon about) we have decided to have the centre pieces silk, we are keepibng the others real as want the smell of the real in the church and silk would work out more expensive coz of the greenery xx

    Mine are silk and I love them, I found a seller on the bay of e that looked like they did slightly unusual ones and then contacted them and asked if they coud do what I wanted, they did a mock up, sent me a pic and I ordered them..... even though I had to pay postage from austalia they were loads cheaper than real, and Im happy to have something ausie at my wedding as I am!!!

    We chose artificial flowers and ordered them from the states (they're velvet roses) was $16 for 84 roses (but cost me just as much to get them shipped to the uk, but no extra was paid in customs)

    I'm have foam roses (already got them and they look fab!) The lady that did mine did a great job of them. She has an ebay shop but luckily I live near her so went and picked them up which saved a fortune on postage. I have a link on my wall if you want to take a look at what she does. She does a brilliant little flower girls wand that is much better than any others I have seen around.
