High quality silk flowers

Does anyone have any websites they can recommend? I would rather paid more to get something which looks realistic.

Thanks x

    I bought mine from a lady from Israel on ebay after looking on so many sites!

    She was great, sent me a postcard with all the colours attached on in the shade that I wanted, so I could see them for real, and then once Id chosen the colours I wanted (I wanted half fuschia and half fuschia with white) she made a pack for me, and then took the price of the postcard sample off my order, think it was about £1. I think the petals cost me about £8.

    They really looked real in the photos and wedding, lots of people did think they were real.

    Ive just looked on my ebay account the seller is called superjan99.

    I'm really happy with my gerberas (although not silk) from silkweddingdesigns. But please note - I bought these as single stem flowers - other MSErs have had problems with ordering made to measure bouquets.

    i get some from hobbycraft (foam) and my colour roses from ebay, and the rest my mum gets from a warehouse - have a google and see if there are any in your area, often they can look tacky and you can make them look lovley (apart from the really tacky ones!) lol xxx

  • have you tried silk flowers decoflora? they provided silk flowers for my niece's wedding, think thet were called 'fresh touch'. They weren't cheap but the even felt real! Everyone was talking about them at the wedding.If the bride hadn't told anyone they would never have known!!
