Flowers Fresh or Artificial

Well girls after my melt down im starting to try think of ways to cut our budget down . i did order real flowers but with my supplier can cancel at any time no cost! and with still a year to go with what my price tag is i think it might be the way to go.

my quote was for fresh flowers and my total all up for


Bridal Boquet with orientals and crystals $225

throw posy $62.50

Bridesmaid lilys x5 $812.50

Pedestal Arrangements x2 625

buttonholes $10 each x 6

Arrangements for vases on bridal table x2 $300

delivery $55

grand total $2090.00

Now what do you think is better personal choice real or artificial ! i know i can get artificial just as beautiful for fraction of the cost .

but for arrangements id prefer real?

what do you think ?

sorry to boombared you with all my posts now! but have to get in on the band wagon and the help you have all given everyone else has been great

WOW... that's a lot of money for flowers...

if they're really what you want then maybe go for artificial... unless you can change the bouquets or drop some flowers or something.

i can;t really say much on this matter i suppose... since mine are feathers...

You could also make your own arrangements for the Bridal Table. Do you have a flower wholesale place where you live????
