Wedding bouquet. Fabric vs real

[KittyVentura]

I've recently found out that these exist. A really wonderful take on fabric flowers and fabric bouquets. They make me want to get married all over again just so I can have one.

Would you have a bouquet like this or would you favour real flowers? I love the idea of being able to keep these... Maybe even having my daughter use the same one for her wedding you know?

Or one of those amazing brooch bouquets. Ugh, want to get married all over again.

They're gorgeous! I don't know what I'd pick they're all so nice, maybe a bit of all 3 put together

My OH has chosen to have a fake one, she wants to keep it in a box to show the kids when they get older

 

[Lubbird]

I really like the fabric ones, you can keep them forever

 

[amjon]

Those are really cute. I don't like the idea of fake flowers, but those are darling. We had real and I hung my bouquet upside to dry it out after the ceremony, so that we can keep it.

My bouquet was silk flowers. It's a decoration now, right next to the bridesmaid flower basket I carried in my sister's wedding more than 10 years ago. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
I caught the bouquet at my sister's SIL's wedding when I was 18 and newly dating the guy who would eventually be my husband and father of my baby. It was real flowers, and it's hard to tell what it is anymore. It's extraordinarily fragile and every time anyone comes close to touching it, I flinch a little. I much prefer my silk bouquet that I don't have to worry about destroying forever.

I'm going to have to go against the grain then! I am not a fan of fake flowers. Chose real at our wedding and would again. I also then put my bouquet on my husband's mothers grave.

you can get your bouquets preserved now though.

 

[smileyfaces]

That first bunch is gorgeous! I'd defo have no qualms about using fabric flowers!

I was dead against anything other than real flowers for my wedding, but I have to say some of those are lovely. And the sentimental part of me loves the idea of my daughter being able to have them one day. If/when we renew our vows I will use something like that lol

 

[special_kala]

I had fabric ones. Much preferred it as I could get them in advance so less faffing around on the day and they last forever

 

[Rainbow82]

Ooh they are lovely, I love the little crystals in the middle. I got married two weeks ago and we had silk roses and real touch lilies, everyone just thought they were fresh flowers, I wish I'd seen done like those with the sparkle in the middle. I love fabric flowers, we chose them specifically so we could keep them (and also because I love lilies but if I'd had real ones OH would have had streaming eyes and been sneezing the whole way through the ceremony lol)

I had fresh flowers, tbh it didn't occur to me to have silk ones I know my SIL had silk ones but I didn't know her then so I don't know what they were like! I love the ones in the pictures and think they look really unique. As with anything like that though it would need to fit in with the style of the wedding to look good.

Mine was fabric rather than real - I opted for this as i worried a real one would wilt/die out quite quckly in the heat (i got married abroad - 40 degree heat).

It was gorgeous, the colours looked edible.

This is my wedding bouquet.

They are foam roses with diamanté and feathers.
Hubby has severe hay fever so real flowers were kind of out of the equation!

I adore my fake flowers. They still sit in a vase in my front hallway, looking as beautiful as they did when I got married 4 years ago!

 

[RedRose]

Fresh flowers for me, but I do just love flowers and plants in general.

 

[Ozzieshunni]

Fresh flowers here as well

I wish I had gone fake, i only have my ribbon left to keep

 

[MissBroody]

As pretty as they are, I do like fresh flowers. Saying that, my mum had silk flowers at her wedding vows renewal and 20 years on and I still have the little silk bouquet I carried as a flower girl. I like the idea of being able to keep them. But still think nothing beats fresh flowers. A lady I know had her fresh flower bouquet pressed, preserved and framed so she has them on her wall, albeit flattened!

[KittyVentura]

I've decided. I think hey are so pretty I'm going to have a go at making one. So cares if I have no wedding to carry it at. I want one. Xx

 

[bumblebeexo]

I like the idea of always being able to keep your bouquet!
