Transcript

I ordered all of my wedding flowers from Alibaba so let me show you what $420 can get you because I'm not paying $5,000 for flowers. For my ceremony I ordered four large arrangements that are going on pillars and then I'm gonna have everybody move these inside so we can repurpose them. This is the second one. I really think they do look really quite amazing. I have to like fluff them up a little bit more. I'm going to switch these out because I'm not in love with how they look in person. You are just simply not gonna be able to tell from a distance that these are fake. These are the other two, the other one looks exactly the same. Just a simple hydrangea arrangement, very beautiful, very gorgeous. Again, going to be repurposing this in the actual reception space as well. I also got each of my bridesmaids three calla lilies that they're gonna hold. I'm gonna chop these down a little bit, add some really pretty satin ribbons. It's just gonna be a very chic bridesmaid look. And then this is my bridal bouquet. I will say I'm gonna switch out the satin and then flip these so that they're draping this way instead of down. Other than that, it looks amazing. It looks exactly like my inspiration photo and again, in all the pictures and from a distance, you're never gonna be able to tell that this is fake. I got all of this from one seller. I'll link it right here. Super affordable. They are very easy to work with. I sent them my inspiration photos and then they just recreated them. I think exactly, came in like a month. And I can resell these after the wedding so that I'm not out a couple thousand dollars. That would be if I bought real flowers. All in all, I'm very happy, super excited and I can't wait to show you what they look like. If these flowers are on your Pinterest board, your floral quote is going up. I think exactly, came in like a month and I can resell these after the wedding so that I'm not out a couple thousand dollars. That would be if I bought real flowers. All in all, I'm very happy, super excited and I can't wait to show you what they look like.
