Real flowers for sure!
Its difficult to source artificial flowers that look 100% real and they are usually just as expensive if not more than fresh flowers.
With real,fresh flowers you get the lovely scents,textures and they'll look more attractive in photos.

Good quality artificial flowers look very realistic theses days, but if you are planning on buying them outright these are just as expensive ( and sometimes more expensive) than fresh flowers and then there is the problem of what to do with all f the artificial flowers after the wedding. If you have your heart set on artificial, may I suggest the option of hiring them off a reputable company/ florist that specialise in artificial arrangements.
It really comes down to personal choice. But artificial flowers look very life like these days and it can be hard to tell the difference if they are arranged well. The big advantages are no wilting on the day, they will look perfect from start to finish (this is important in the photos). You don’t have to worry about seasonal availability you can any flowers at any time of year, and no nasty surprises, you should get proof photos and be able to request changes if needed, this way when that arrive they will be exactly what you want, and they should arrive well before your wedding day reducing stress. (If you are a box ticker and like to be organised this is a big advantage). They are also great for destination weddings and travel really well; we have sent our flowers all over the world. Just contact me if you have any questions. Kind Regards, Di Botanical Designs

Yes you are correct real flowers do die after a few days, or you can have your bouquets professionally framed to keep but would need to be taken as soon as possible the next morning for framing. There are good quality artificial flower suppliers. I love the artificial as they look so real these days and you have your flowers for years to come. Ready before your wedding day so takes any stress out.
