Did you have real or artificial flowers for your wedding bouquets?

My SIL wanted frangipani's & seeing they weren't in season during her Wedding she had them artificial ... One in her hair on the side & a small simple bouquet

I had real flowers. My flowers were natives, I have hung mine and DD's bouquets upside down and they have dried really well, they still look great.

It is lovely to keep them .

I had fresh/real flowers, orchids. I didn't have them preserved but my photographer did a spectacular job and really captured how beautiful they were.

I had Real flowers - Red Roses!
And they looked and smelt Beautiful!

U can still keep ur flowers even if they are real - my friend got hers framed and that was 3yrs ago and they still look really nice!

I had real flowers, white phalaenopsis orchids..they were beautiful and while they were too delicate to keep, I'd never have used artifical I don't think.

I agree with Kim too, I'm not much of a fan of the preserved/framed bouquets.

I had real flowers never even thought of artifical.

roses, singapore orchids and cimbidium? orchids

I did get mine preserved and framed, had never really liked till it was my bouquet we were talking about and not just pictures of other peoples framed flowers.

I had real - never even thought of artificial. I had pink lilys and my bridesmais had white.
It was sweltering and they did suffer on the day, but I didn't reall want to keep mine anyway. All the preservations I have seen just don't suit my tastes.
