Silk Flower bouquets/ arrangements

[feline figaro]

I ve just been reading another thread in which a fellow bride from UK mentioned that she was having her flowers made in silk. That way she d be able to bring them back home

An idea i ve never thought of

Has any body else had a silk bouquet, if so would you mind posting your pics so i can see how well they turn out . I ve seen some silk flower displays in the past that have looked amazing, then again i ve seen some which well did nt.

Is this an option Disney offers or do you have to get everything made elsewhere?

I ll probably stick with the fresh flower bouquet etc but would be interested to see what the other options looks like.

it was me that was asking about the silk flowers. If you look at pepples22 's picture she had silk red roses (i hope she doesn't mind me mentioning her). I have the same dress as her and was worried about the colour of the red roses matching my red and white dress. When i saw the pictures and the colours matched perfect it made up my mind.

I've spoken to Disney floral and upgraded my escapes package i'm having 4 button holes of single red roses, my bouquet of red roses with accented white roses, on small bridemaid bouquet of white roses with accented red roses, a flowergirl basket with white petals (as red stain the train apparently) and i'm having the rose cermony with two single silk roses.

The silk roses look really real. The price is not much different from the real flowers and i'm haing a UK reception so it means that i wont have to pay out for two bouquets. Disney floral where really helpful. All of the Disney bouquets look beautiful and Disney use high quality silk so that it does look real.

Hope thats helped a bit

Orangetigg what sort of silk flowers and colours are you having? Have you seen pictures from Disney floral of yours? I think there a great idea for UK brides. Some people have said to me 'nothing beats real' and 'they wont be the same' but i think they look pretty real its only when you get real close you can see there not and Disney use fake stems for there flowers anyway.

You can even get silk flowers sprayed to smell like real ones lol

sorry could nt remember whos name it was . Recognise your details as you live not too far from me

 

[orangetiggs]

Yay , it was your post in a thread. Now i remember

Im glad i read it as i had never thought of that idea for my bouquet, cant say in all honesty that i like the idea of having to bin it when we leave

I ve seen some fake silk flowers & they have looked beautiful, i ve had to get real close up to them before i could honestly tell. Thats fab too that Disney can spray them to give them that real scent

Thats a good point actually, my df gets hay fever but he seems to be fine a round flowers (fingers crossed). We live opposite a massive field so that causes havoc with his hayfever. Its a beautiful view from our lounge window but god when the tractors come out & he starts sneezing it can take him literally forever to stop. Its more freshly cut grass that plays havoc for him

Orangetigg i can't wait to see your photos what flowers / colours you having?

I do think its a really good idea. I just hope mine look real and as good as the others. Disneybride010103 Amanda was my inspiration for my bouquet i've asked for my silk one to look like hers.

We're doing silk for the extras, my mom has just finished the bridesmaids ones. I HAVE to get some pics - they're so cute!!

Plus, we're doing an athome reception, so its a money saver too.

She made 2 bridesmaid bouquets for $23. If that puts it in perspective.

I used all silks. Here are a couple of photos. Everyone loved them and thought they were real.

 

[orangetiggs]

i'm having pinks, roses, sweet peas, calla lillies and there was more but its 6am and I cant think! sorry oh orchids that was the other one

Orangetiggs your bouquet sounds gorgous.

 

[meryll83]

I'm also going to get silks so we can use our flowers at our at-home reception.

I'm presuming that we will have to pay an upgrade fee on the standard flowers that are included within the Escape package?

 

[orangetiggs]

i'm having wishes so sorry cant answer that.

mine are around the same as normal flowers so you may not have to
