Hi ladies, i could do with a bit of help...

I've just joined MSE today and i've seen loads of helpful tips already! But i wonder if any of you have had/are having an artificial bouquet and can recommend a company or a seller? The one's i've seen are either ridiculously overpriced (£100 for a small foam rose posy anyone?!) or look really cheap and tacky! I really have not a creative bone in my body so making it myself is also out!
I don't really have a preference on the type or style of the bouquet. my colour theme is ivory/cadbury purple and i'm in the north west if that helps!
Any advice or ideas would be most welcome!
Thank you ladies! x
:D:D:D

    I'm going to order some buttons holes from this seller on ebay. I've had some sample foam roses and hers were the nicest IMO. She has cadbury purple too.

    I bought a bouquet, flower girl posy and 2 buttonholes from sarahs flowers for about £40, they were gorgeous, arrived within a week and the customer service when I phoned them were excellent, I highly recommend them

    Sarah's flowers also sell some of their flowers by the bunch as well as the other bits you'd need for making your own arrangements - 6 roses £4.50 - not a bad price.

  • Hi willbemckee and welcome

    I am having artificial flowers - i'm a huge hayfever sufferer!
    I searched high and low for the perfect company, heard good things about Sarahs Flowers but also some really bad things. Anyway came across a site I really liked, ended up being a friend of mine (haven't seen her in AGES and didn't know she was in the wedding business). Her flowers are absolutely beautiful, very reasonably priced, but more importantly don't look artificial. Oh and Sherrie's a complete perfectionist - she's also dressing our venue.

    Please take a look at her sites and if you message her please tell her Vicki sent you her way ......
