    I had fresh flowers for bouquets and corsages, and silk flowers for all the table and aisle decorations. It was very pretty, and much cheaper. Plus I loved that we could make them weeks ahead and put them in a box. One less thing to worry about on a crazy day.

    I think we used all silk at my first wedding. My second marriage...we got married by the justice of the peace, and didn't have flowers. I LOVE fresh, but silk are really nice.

    Sorry, I seem to be in the minority here, but I'm a flower snob - fresh!

    That being said...it's your choice, not mine, and you know the setting, I don't. I'm sure it will be lovely.

    While making arrangements at school last year for Horticulture Exposition Contest we could choose real or silk. I chose silk both times I've done the contest. One thing I loved about it is you can still make a very very nice arrangement that will last a long time, you can find very nice silk flowers. Some are very realistic. I also enjoyed being able to make it weeks before the contest and not rushing to get it done! Plus silks are cheaper in many cases.

    Also I would choose silk because it prevents early wilting and things like that. Silk is better for any occasion over fresh IMO.
