Hiya

Do you mean silk flowers in general, like seperate purchase. Or a ready made bouquet of silk flowers

[planetanna]

I am planning on making my own table arrangements with silk flowers so they would need to be seperate.

I have asked a florest to make a fresh bouquet for me and BM's. its really the tables I wanted to be made of silk flowers.

is that making sense? sorry if it isn't!

I saw some really pretty ones in Wilkinsons. I am not having silk flowers so I never gave them too much attention as to quality, but they did catch my eye as they looked very realistic and nice colours.

You tend to nitice flowery things and pretty things more since u start planning weddings don't u

Theres a few others that use these forums that have been discussing silk flowers perhaps u can give em a shout

Hello- Fake flower queen here!

There are LOADS of different fakes out there- everywhere from Next to wilkos seem to sell them- depending what you want you can even find boxes of multiple bankrupt stocks for sale on good old ebay! In fact- i have several boxes in the conservatory that i purchased for the table decorations myself before opting for other things.... What are you looking for??!! (seriously- feel free to pm me if you want pics- im just gonna be bunging them on ebay so if anything catches your eye first??!)

My top tip for bargain quality fakes at the mo is either hobbycraft or dunn elm - both have some stunners in- it just depends how many of what you want as they sell them per stem and prices vary- it does work out cheaper if you get a bunch from somewhere like wilkos and chop them off into stubby stems- again depends on the shape you want to achieve!

I think if you get good greenery people notice the actual flowers less as they wont question the quality- also avoid things like lillies made from cloth material as often the weave is more prominant than on a rose where the petals hide each other.....

enough ranting for now-- What are your plans??!
