Here's the deal flowers are expensive and die in a few days so I don't see the point in spending hundreds of dollars on real ones. I got real flowers for the alter and my bouquet but I plan to get fake ones for the wedding party. What do you guys think?

Perfect. It's your wedding, if your happy with them, why care what the others think.
After its done and over with the only thing you will have is the memory and pictures.
In pictures no one will know the difference.
Congratulation an your pending marriage.

well i dont know if you ever heard of the shop happily ever after weddings. well i am a wedding designer. and quite frankily i think that fake flowers are not ok. well first of all its you're big day. so splurge for it. Not all flowers are hundreds of dollars. I'm sure if you e-mail me i can find cheaper flowers. that are affordable and real. you can save money other ways to like consider a city park or a garden for you're cerimoney they are usually more inexpensive and very pretty. Chose plated meals over a buffet. Suprisingly, a plated meal is usually less expensive because the food costs are less for the caterer. Hope this helps =). if you need any help on finding anything you can email me at weddingsandesign@aol.com

It's perfectly fine to have fake flowers. These days fake flowers can look so real nobody can tell. If you aren't sure if it's what you really want to do... you can do what I did for my first wedding - I had each bridesmaid carry one long stem rose, and the maid-of-honor carried two. It really was pretty. The florist tied a really bow on the stem, so it wasn't just plain. You don't have to do roses, there are other flowers with firm stems you could use, if you want to go the real flower route, but don't want to spend a lot of money. Congrats and good luck!

No it is not ok. If you want a wedding you have to spend some money. You need real flowers on the tables and you need to hold real flowers because fake ones will look horrible and cheap in your wedding pictures.

It's your wedding, so it only matters what you think. I think that would be fine. Real flowers are nicer, but the most important part is the bouquet and alter... so as long as those ones are real, I don't see a problem.

I personally don't like the idea of fake flowers. I mean I don't mean to be rude, but they never look as nice as fresh flowers. For my girls I am trying to get their bouquets to smell great too! You can't do that with fake!

All of my married friends have got the wedding party fake flowers so that they could keep them as a momento. They are wonderfully real looking, if you go to the right place. Check out the newspaper, around here it's usually people that work out of their homes that make them specifically for special occasions.
They are not cheesy or cheap. It's your wedding, do what you want, and more importantly, can afford!

Of course. Most of the people I know use fake flowers instead of real ones. Especially for the bouquet. So they can keep it.

There is nothing wrong with fake flowers. I am using fake flowers for my wedding. You are right they are a lot cheaper and they never die, that way you have them forever

A lot of people are going with nice-looking fake flowers for weddings.
They last longer, logically, which means you won't have those disgusting wilting flowers halfway through the party, which is my worst nightmare for my wedding one day.
It is cheaper, and wiser, just as long as the flowers look good.

Well, there's nothing wrong with fake flowers, but either all the bouquets are fake, or all are real. They have to match. Altar flowers can be different.
