I'm sure this will be the first of many. Today's topic ...
FLOWERS!!
Silk vs. Real
So I guess my first question is exactly what I said - if you had the choice between real or silk flowers at your wedding, which would you choose? And perhaps - why? Right now I'm seeing both sides of the floral story and I'm about ready to flip a coin!!
I found this website called The Brides Bouquet which seems to have reasonable prices for silk flower bouquets and boutonnieres, but I'm not sure if it really makes a difference. I do like the thought of not having to cut fresh flowers for the wedding, but silk is a completely different kind of production.
We're not having flower centerpieces on the tables at the receptions - all candles/mirrors - so I have a little bit of "wiggle room" financially. But that doesn't mean I want to go out of control.
My mom thinks I would want the keepsake. Bruce's mom had silk flowers at her wedding and they're gathering dust somewhere in the attic. But maybe someone would like to use my bouquet after me? I hate to think of it as a prop, but I would like to cherish the marriage more than the wedding flowers.
Does anyone have any brilliant insight? If you would prefer not to post, feel free to e-mail me: sarahelizabethkeck@yahoo.com.
Love to all!!
