I am looking for fake or silk flowers for my wedding in June, I want yellow and white daisies, but I want to be able to get them at a decent price.

There are some great stores you can get fake flowers.
At Michaels craft store, you can get a wide variety. But to get them at a cheaper price, look in the Sunday paper because there are often 40% off coupons. I suggest buying a few papers and using the coupons to get all you need at a discounted price.
Hobby Lobby has a wonderful selection also. If you go online (www.hobbylobbly.com) and sign up for the email ads, you get a coupon every week. Every other week, it is a 40% off a regular item. Print as many coupons as you want and buy all you need.
Keep in mind that both of these stores also run great sales.
I know you want fake flowers, but typically, most areas have a fresh food market that sells bulk flowers. Daisies are such a common flower that you might be able to get more this way for a cheaper price and organize your own bouquets.
Anywho...CONGRATS!

If there is a Micheal's craft store near you check there they clear out their silk flowers every season usually at 50% off. I got almost all mine there the final bill was $60.00 for 3 bridesmaid 1 Jr bridesmaid and a flower girl. I also got my flowers ( two bouquets a much lighter one to throw my bouquet is way too heavy to throw) there and the centerpieces and corsages for 3 moms and a grandma (fiance didn't want any on the men so I have a bit extra)
Also check eBay as I found my bouquet on their after I made it and it was being cleared out of an eBay store.
Take pics when you go to give you an idea of how many you will need otherwise you will be going back for more to fill in spots because once you wrap it it won't sit the same as it did when you were holding them to get an idea of size.

Most dollar stores do carry a selection of artificial flowers. But you get what you pay for. Check with your local craft store. If you need a larger quantity they may be able to offer you a discount. Or at least their sale price (generally 20-30% off)
Good Luck and congratulations!
Also check ebay, sometimes you can get gently used wedding florals.

big box stores:
michael's crafts
walmart
target
joann's fabrics
start watching now for sales and you should be able to get your flowers for a very good price. also some stores will store flowers that didn't sell in season, and if you ask nicely they quite often will not only get them out for you to look at but sell them to you at a good discount in order to free up space for new stock!
daisies sound so nice!
good luck with your wedding plans and congratulations on the upcoming marriage.

Any craft store such as Hobby Lobby, Micheal's or Joanns. Wal-Mart and Dollar stores offer a variety of silk flowers. You may also want to talk to your local florist. They should have great quality floral and sometimes will have them at a reasonable price. You should also consider who will be putting them together for you. If you will be designing them, that is great. Most craft stores have designers that can put them together for you however you may not like the price they charge. You can contact me for designing (I'm a florist!)

Michale's or Garden Ridge. Garden Ridge is pretty good. In Sunday newspaper go through the ad sections and find a shop that is having a sale on silk flowers.

I am using silk flowers in my wedding and I got a LOT of pretty, quality flowers on ebay. I also got all the flowers for my bouquet from the clearance bins at Michaels.
Congratulations and good luck!!

Try Wal-Mart, Dollar Tree and craft stores, craft stores should have those type of flowers on a deep discount since they are not the flowers of the season, Wal-Mart and Dollar Tree have nice flowers at good prices. Congratulations and good luck!

Ebay.com. No, I'm serious. I got my flowers for my Sept 2003 wedding from an Ebay store. Very reasonable and very easy to work with. She emailed me pics of the flowers each step of the way.

go to a local hobby store, like hobby lobby or micheal's. they are always having sales on fake flowers. that is where i got mine and i would say for everything i had to make and supplies and such it was under a hundred bucks for flowers. now, real ones would probably be more in the upper hundreds. you could also look online
