Good place to get silk flowers?
Question by : Good place to get silk flowers?
I’m wanting to use silk flowers for the bouquets/ corsages/ bouts instead of real flowers, so it will save money and I can keep them forever.
I’m going to be using lilys, orchids, daisys, and baby’s breath mostly, no roses.
My local walmart has pretty good silk flowers that are the “real touch” but other than that I will have to drive at least 45 minutes + to get to a good store like hobby lobby or Michaels unless someone knows of an awesome site that I can get them at online

Ebay! Search EXACTLY what you want on ebay, and you’ll have lots of choices. I bought my wedding flowers off of ebay, and I couldn’t have been happier.
If you don’t want to make your own flowers, but want a great looking option, check out bargainsndeals on ebay: http://myworld.ebay.com/bargainsndeals/ I bought my flowers from her… she’s a retired florist and she made my flowers CUSTOM for me. They’re made of foam and look even more real than the real touch silks. I don’t remember the exact cost, but for my bouquet, eight corsages and thirteen (I think) bouts, as well as three bridesmaid bouquets, was around $ 200 or less.
Here are some pictures of my bouquet:

For me, just me, I would go to Hobby Lobby or Michael’s, you want really good silks and a good variety to choose from. Also, check with florist, you might be surprised, and please don’t use any colors that are not true colors, nothing gives you away more, like blue orchids or lily’s, they may come in the tropicals, but not most places, use normal colors. Be careful using the daisy’s a more plain jane to me with orchids and lilly’s. Just me. Drive the 45, not that bad and when you buy, buy everything from the same dye lot, buy all you need plus some at one time, in case one comes apart or has a fuzzy side cut, etc. Be sure to get plenty of greenery and bouquet holders and corsage wrist lets and holders if you are using. Also any tulle, pearls added to your bouquet or bouquet jewels.
Have a look at eBay and etsy
