Artificial wedding flowers

8 replies

Getting married abroad and organising it ourselves. We only arrive the night before so not a lot of time.
Thinking it might be easier to take a couple of bunches of artificial flowers for the bridesmaids and myself.
Thoughts? Anyone got any good online sites?

I’m sure there are some lovely ones out there and I think you get what you pay for.

They’re much heavier than real flowers so choose something light. I had articificsk flowers as a bridesmaid once and it was a huge bouquet which was a real pain to carry and lug around all day. They didn’t look real at all but were still pretty.

Hadn't thought of weight, thanks! We're flying out so that's a consideration.

I found these paper ones

....but Inhaven't got the budget for £90 a bouquet! Pretty though and a nice memento for afterwards.

I have a very traditionally romantic light coffee coloured chiffon number and the bridesmaids are in very pale pink chiffon. I am neither romantic or pink so am at a bit of a loss...Confused

Have you thought about something a bit different? My DPs cousin had a beautiful bouquet made of metal flowers! It was beautiful and she could keep forever. Take a look at Google: www.google.co.uk/search?q=metal+flower+wedding+bouquets&client=ms-android-sonymobile&prmd=sivn&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjXrJ3-94_bAhUMAcAKHWCYAyIQ_AUIEigC&biw=360&bih=512&dpr=3

Metal! How wonderful. I love some of those. Howevet not great for bag weight allowance perhaps.
I think I am going paper flowers.There is a lady in Thailand that seems to do pretty stuf. I'll let you know how they turn out!

I had these and I don't recall them being particularly heavy.
