Q. I need silk flowers for my wedding where can i find the cheapest at in the triad?
A. Some of our good outlets for silk flowers have either moved or closed. However, A. C. Moore and Michael’s are still operating with good choices and supplies. If you use the coupons that are usually in the Sunday paper, you can save a little extra, but only on one stem at a time. Raper’s has relocated to Salisbury, however, it’s not too difficult to find. Some floral shops, while featuring fresh flowers, have limited selections of silk flowers, so you might check there. Hope you find what you’re looking for.

Many of the brides I have worked with are looking for silk flowers so that they can save them. Another option to save your flowers is to use real flowers and to preserve them by having them freeze dried. Freeze dried flowers can be framed and displayed in a variety of ways to match a brides style and budget.
