Silk flowers - please help me choose!

I know some people hate silk/artificial flowers with a passion, but I'm getting married in Canada and want to be able to see my flowers and be happy with them before the day. I think I should be able to fit them into my dress box with the dress and carry them on the plane as hand luggage, so transporting them shouldn't be a problem.
But. I can't seem to make my mind up. Can you give me your 2p's worth as to which you prefer?
Here's my dress in case that helps
The cheapest at £32.00
Next cheapest at £45.00
£47.50
£55.00
Also £55.00
Or a bit of a different colour...
What d'you think???

Hmmmmm ... I like the roses at £47.50 - it looks like a fairly compact shape that would travel well and the roses look convincing. The next one down is nice too, but all of those sticking out leafy bits might not travel too well ...
I like the purple one too, but maybe it looks a bit 'country' for your dress? Not keen on the red one at all, the flowers maybe look a bit too artificial?0 -
I agree with Gingernutmeg - the 47.50 ones look best!

Hi, I agree, the £47.50 roses are really lovely0
-
another vote for those or the first £55 one below it - and nothing wrong with fake flowers imo
but then again I cant spend long near flowers anyway so am slightly bias lol 0 -
yeah i agree or you could try your own, these cost me about £22 altogether its only my first try though still practicing.

The first £55 roses are lovely. IMO, you can def tell that they got more expensive 0

The first £55 are the nicest ones there I think.
Although the cheaper ones would save you money, I think they look cheaper. You want them to look as real as possible Green and White Barmy Army!0 -
Don't know if this pic will work... If not I will edit and try again...
Anyway, this is the bouquet I made for my MOH the other night, cost £5 for the flowers, £1 for the beads which look like crystals and the butterflies were off eBay, my mom bought them ages ago so I don't know how much they were.
I'm really quite pleased with them, and glad I had a go at doing them myself!A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...My Fathers Daughter wrote: »Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
