I am afraid to order, but will if others had a good experience.

Did anyone order a silk bouquet off the internet, and if so describe what and where you got one?
I didn't order my bouquets from this place because a family member made them, however I did order the guys boutonieres and the coursages, and they were really nice.

Also, they have excellent customer service. I was able to speak with her on the phone, and she made it exactly the way I wanted it. She wanted me to send her samples of the colors I was using in the wedding so she could make sure she used the right color flowers. They were also shipped in a timely fashion.
Reply:My sister and I both ordered our flowers from budgetmindedbrides.com We are both very happy with the way our flowers turned out. There are many different ideas to choose from and she has package deals. Many of the bouquets coordinate with maids bouquets, boutonierres, and corsages. She has a ton of different flowers you can choose from also. The owner was in constant contact via email with us. She notified us when she received the order, when she purchased the flowers and was beginning to arrage them. When she finished she sent pictures in the email to see if we liked them and offered to change anything prior to sending them out. The packaging was great, nothing got smashed or anything. And she was such a nice lady!! I was also able to order loose flowers from her so that I could make my own pew bows, altar arrangements, and cake decorations. I would recommend her to anyone!!
Reply:I feel bad but I have not oredered one....yet. I am either ordering mine from save-on-crafts.com or I will go to Micheals and make one myself. I have seen Micheal's flowers and they actually look really good.
Reply:I have never used a silk bouquet. Actually , fresh flowers might be a fresher way to go with your beautiful wedding





Very easy to make , just in case you want options, here is how to make your own bouquet with fresh flowers. ( $25)





Purchase the flowers of your choice( Costco or Sam's club have a great selection for less than $18 for 24 roses)





Decide the size of your bouquet by looking in a mirror holding the bunch of flowers in your hand.





Take out or add until you have the right bouquet size.





Cut the stems to your desired lenght.





Use green floral tape( buy it at Michael's or any craft store for $1) to wrap 3 stems at a time. ( creating mini bouquets)





Once you have all the minis , arrange them together and tape them with green tape.





cover the whole leght of the bouquet with a piece of fabric - you theme color or white - in 3 easy steps:





1- place bouquet in center of fabric


2- bring bottom part up and wrap the right side to the left and the left to the right.


3- pin it with pearl pins ( craft store $3) or glue





It looks beautiful, fresh professionally made . Highly recommended instead of silk ( silk is too 1980's)
