I cannot tell you how much I anticipated these flowers - having read the previous reviews and really wanting to budget on flowers I was willing to take other brides' words for it and ordered from wedideas.

All I can say is that I was SO underwhelmed when I received the flowers. From afar they probably look fine. But the second I took them out of the box (which UPS DESTROYED in the shipping) I could tell instantly that they were fake looking. THey look like really well put together flowers you would get at Michaels - so I wouldn't pay $45 USD for a SMALL 8" bouquet. I am actually going to take one sample in to show a real florist and have it replicated to a real one for myself since my flowers will be photographed in depth, I worry that the fakeness will come through.

The box was packaged with no less than FOUR pieces of tissue for 6 bouquets, 8 bouts, and a corsage. I use more tissue paper in birthday gift wrapping. I was SO disappointed with the shipping, but they might have been pissed at me for hounding them for my shipment when they were a month late and took my final payment 3 weeks before even sending me a shipping number!

The service was great in the beginning - so accommodating. Then it slowly went downhill - multiple emails with no answer, posting on their Facebook fan page with no answer AND they deleted my comment when I complained. Other brides were commenting that they ordered and received theirs and I hadn't even received a confirmation email even after I paid in full!!

I can't tell you how much I've learned my lesson - and an expensive one too! The men's bout's and my mother's corsage all looked dollar store quality (the bouquets were OK but like I said, still looked very fake). I'm replacing those as well.

I'm sure for other brides the flowers looked amazing and I'll admit I was fooled by pictures but I warn anyone who cares about their flowers, to source out a real florist first within budget rather than ordering with wedideas.

I ordered my flowers online. They were silk, but really looked real. The flowers were reasonable priced (we paid half as much as we would have if we had gotten real flowers). My only problem is that they were late shipping my flowers and I had to email them about it everyday for a week and a half.

Can't put a low enough ranking here. I ordered a bouquet from them in January/February. Everything went well until after they had my money. Buyer beware!!! Pay with a credit card that will handle your dispute with Wedideas and make sure you get your money back if something goes awry. The first issue came when I received the photos to review. The tulips I had requested were very light (a variegated white and pink petal), not the dark pink to fuscia tulips that I had requested and validated they could obtain before I paid my deposit (which was payment in full since I was only getting a bridal bouquet). The responsiveness from Wedideas was quite slow when I mentioned the error on the tulips. They did eventually remedy this, but the worst happened when the box containing my bouquet arrived at my ceremony vendor's location. The box looked like someone had stepped on it. Then, upon receiving photos of the crushed bouquet from my vendor (in another state), I noted the ribbon was red, not the ivory or navy blue my initial email that was attached to the order stated. It took several days to get Wedideas to respond to what to do about the crushed box. It was a terrible ordeal, one that Wedideas could not/would not be able to remedy in time for my ceremony. I ended up having to file a credit card dispute with my bank, and they managed it from there. I also filed a BBB claim in Florida, and just received their response (they waited to respond until they received a second notice from the BBB that they had not responded to the first contact - no surprise). I still have the crushed bouquet and emailed them while I was on my honeymoon to request shipping information to get it back to them. My new husband and I were going to make a special trip during our honeymoon to ship the bouquet to them. I also filed a claim with UPS because they would not. I worked with UPS on the investigation of the claim and have no idea what the results were, as UPS only communicates with the shipper (in this case, Wedideas). If you are a bride who wants your flowers to run smoothly, I found the best wedding flower vendor in Texas. Her name is Lois (http://www.floralfantasiesbylois.com). She came through for me in a pinch and was an incredibly lovely person to work with. I was so happy to find her and get a chance to spend time with her. She made my bridal bouquet extra special to me. I am recommending her to several of my friends who are planning weddings. She really knows her stuff when it comes to wedding flowers. I can't speak highly enough of her.

Overall I was happy with our flowers. There was a little hiccup since they do not send preview photos of the bouts/corsages, a large portion of ours were incorrect so I had to send them back and wait for replacements. I had to pay the return shipping which I thought was weird since it was their mistake. But, I did like how the bouquets turned out and in the end all of the bouts/corsages were correct.

Silk flowers were even prettier in person and everything came quickly and in perfect condition. No one even noticed they werent real and the prices were very reasonable. Thank you Stephanie!

Stef at Wedideas was great. They are a fake flower site and you can either choose from their bouquets/bouts/corsages/etc listed on the site, or completely customize your own. You have the choice between regular fake flowers (which are still of a much higher quality than what you'd find at a craft store) or the Real Feel varieties. They were great, our bouquets, bouts, & corsages were lovely. They were wonderful (most of the time) at getting back to me. I had only a few issues with them, the first being that they didn't follow order instructions correctly. For example, I asked that all of the leaves in our collection be ivy so they'd match our bouquets, and that the bouts and corsages have curly tails on them. Neither happened. not a huge deal though! The big deal was that two of the corsages weren't shipped, one was wrong, and the rose petals also weren't included. However, Stef got right on it and sent the replacement items free of charge. Summer is their busy season, and I was asking for my flowers by July 1st, so I am sure they were just swamped. Order early, if you'll be getting married during the summer months! :) But they were great to work with otherwise and everything looked amazing! Very happy with the quality, and the price, too!

My bouquet was beautiful and very reasonably priced. The staff at wedideas was very helpful. I got tons of compliments on my bouquet and since it is silk I can keep it as a wedding momento.
