I'm getting married in september and I wanted to get silk flowers for the bouquets, tables etc (my cousin had them at theirs this year and I couldnt tell that they were fake, they were amazing).
The problem is that I cant find anywhere that seems to have the flowers I want in one of their "collections" can anyone recommend a site or shop (in hampshire) where they will design them based on what I want (I'm very fussy and quite specific about what I want lol)
Many thanks x

Also want to say thanks, have been looking for ages for someone who does peonies in silk and she does! Just about to e-mail her x
CommentAuthorMrs Turps (Nicpep)
lol she is going to be happy today!
Thanks for all your help, I have also found a shop near me that does them so i'm going to check that out on Saturday first
I got mine from a lady on Ebay. She made my bouquet, 3 older bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, 5 buttonholes and a corsage for £80 inc postage. Theres a piccy ofmy bouquet on my profile and she's a lovely lady who did exactly what i asked for.

Also thinking of silk flowers- if nothing else you get to keep your bouquet forever and if you wanted to re-coup any costs you could probably sell other decorations on ebay. I found this site which does silk flowers:

not terribly cheap but I'm just using it for inspiration at the moment lol

Her name is Julie. I found her on ebay and then dealt wit her direct! I can give you her email address if you like if you PM me, i can also send you a piccy of my bouquet too. Im not sure how you access other peoples piccies on here though i thought you could do it if you clicked their name but that doesn't seem to work!

I decided to use ************ in the end, the prices were very reasonable. Has anyone else used them before, can they share their experiences? I'm hoping I have picked a good one!

The only thing is that by buying them from the internet, i'm going to have to get the vases, and put the centrepieces in myself, which i'm hoping is a simple task.....lol
She is very fast at replying, I have placed my order and paid and everything so fingers crossed

hi mrs b! Some advice needed-What would you suggest a bride-to-be should do if the flowers they have ordered arrive late, are not what they actually ordered and have been damaged in transit? And then, the supplier does not answer e-mails? Any suggestions?
CommentAuthorpouchi-loo
try hobbycraft, when in their yesterday and decided all my flowers are going to be fake. then when we get our house we will use them as our decoration. Im only having tiger lilies so my house will not look wild.

I want silk flowers as myself, h2b and one of my bridesmaid's suffer with hayfever - I went to a wedding fayre and asked a florist there if she did silk flowers and the way she looked at me!!! It's my day and I will have what I want thank you very much - and I shall take me business elsewhere :op
Soz bout that little rant there, she just really annoyed me
