I was going to go for real flowers, but just been discussing with the girls and decided to get silk ones instead so popped onto Ebay and got a job lot of silk calla lilies. Got a year now to practice getting them done!

I paid about £8 for 36 flowers. Sounded like a good buy.

Brilliant, I was going to use real flowers but now you have my head buzzing with ideas, I am already making a beaded bouquet for myself (but keeping it quiet incase I don't like the end result)!!
Have you got the silk flowers? How do they look? Am thinking about getting silk ones for bouquets and button holes. x

Once they come I shall let you know if they are nice enough to use. It's not like I have spent a fortune on them if they are not any good.

Thats a really good price. We're looking at getting fake anthuroums, which seem to only come in plastic but are still nice, and we're looking at around 70-80p per stem! Have fun playing and don't forget that we nosey peeps like pics and updates! :)

wow thats good!! am having silk ones for my bm and was going to get real ones for myself but florist has advised that cos I want cornflowers that she may use silk for them as they discolour so may just look into doing it myself ....

It was not until peeps on here mentioned about silk flowers, that I sat down with my girls and they thought yeah it would be nice if they could keep theirs, so I have enough to make my bouquet, 4 bms (they are only having about 3) and the button holes for the men. These are what I would like for the bms.
I've just purchased some ribbons for the bouquets. I have purple and light green as decided that H2B and the boys can wear green cravats etc. Going to tie the bouquets up with a twist of both colours. Whether it works or not is a different matter. LOL

I really want silk flowers for everything because I've seen real flowers look rubbish by the evening but when I mentioned it to my mother she pulled the kind of face that I'd expect to see after being poo tashed. Are people really that snobby about flowers. If it saves a heap of cash then who cares, I'd like to keep the bouquet. When I stupidly mentioned it to my Dad (coz he'd care - not!) he said any saving I make means more money behind the bar and he's happy with that. I'd love to be able to make my own bouquet as mentioned above but I don't think I have enough confidence in myself. xx
I can't wait until 29/06/2013

Well they came yesterday. Not as big as I was expecting but are lovely. Still got the grassy bits to come yet so once they are here will have a go at some as that will bulk it up a bit more. Then take piccies and pop them up.

I did try, but they were not fabulous, but after posting about doing them on faceyb a friend said she has done bouquets in the past including her own and if I want her to she can do them, so once she has done them I shall post them on here and once I get them off my phone I shall post my very poor attempt!

I'm having anthuriums for my flowers so mine will be plastic flowers! Not the best, but since anthuriums have a plstic sheen to them anyway, you can't really tell the difference! The orchids will be silk though :)

I just got married and loved my foam roses. I love even more the fact that I can still look at them and keep them forever.
