You wont believe these aren't real...

So I'll just start by saying that I hate synthetic flowers. Yes I used the H word, because I honestly get oh so frustrated seeing beautiful brides proudly holding on to frightfully ugly bouquets made of rubbery looking flowers and glittery ribbon.. I always felt that the only suitable alternative to a fresh cut bouquet was no bouquet at all, but that was until I found these stunning silk bouquets..

They look amazingly realistic, are more affordable than fresh cut and can last for years after the wedding. In fact the more I think about it, I wonder why anyone would opt for fresh cut flowers over these chic silk creations..

The photos show silk flowers from Mysilkweddingflowers.com and Elegantbridalbouquet.com.

I hope you all enjoy your long Memorial Day weekend!
