If you want ideas for artificial flowers try here - www.silkyflowerstore.com/product-category/silk-flowers/silk-carnation/

Big range and lots of info.

I agree Dunelm have a great selection. I've bought from them.

I know someone who bought ready maid bridesmaid posies from there, they looked great.

Dunelm has lots of silk and artificial flowers in all colours and shades. You can buy online.

i think the only way is to see them in the shop really, there is a vast array online though and i had wanted some to match colours in bedroom curtains.
The ones that were most convincing and realistic were of course the most pricey. Garden centres are an idea but usually on the dear side too.

thanks anyway.

I've seen some very convincing silk flowers in a nearby garden centre. Maybe you have a local one where you could see the actual product.

I've bought fabulous silk peonies off eBay,
I think best deals are from a private seller who is likely to be changing decor, and not from a company.
Ask questions - diameter of bloom, height of flower. Is the pic giving a true colour.

If you are disappointed for any reason they can always be resold on eBay.
