I'm getting artificial flowers also as I have terrible hayfever.
I did umm and ahh over several on eBay and in the end went with https://www.silkblooms.co.uk who have great reviews and in my opinion are amazing.

She was able to work with me on what type of bouquet to get, I told her height, favourite flower, a pic of my dress etc and she came back with the most amazing bouquet. She's also able to customise anything on the website, and do stuff in whatever colour you want - so she's able to match the shade of flowers to our BM dress exactly.

She's a tad more expensive than eBay but I really think she's worth is and you can pay them off in interest free installments, although she won't send out the flowers until it's paid off!

Are the bouquets on here silk or foam flowers - I can't tell in the description. I also don't know the pros and cons of silk vs foam - which are the most realistic?

Frustratingly both eBay sellers named are on holiday so there's nothing in their shops!

Thanks
