Artificial/Silk Flowers
Hi there,

I've decided to set up doing silk/artificial bridal bouquets. I live a bit out in the sticks and was wondering if anyone knows of a supplier of high quality artificial flowers?

Thanks.

Hi Katey and welcome
I also work in silks and agree, Country Baskets do have some lovely flowers. They also have quite a few of the cheaper end, it all depends what market you are aiming at.
Also Sia have a wonderful range.
Whereabouts are you based?
I am up in Scotland and the wholesalers up here are thin on the ground

Hi Katey I too use country baskets but I am exploring other avenues so if I come up with anything worth while I will let you know. Good luck with your silk flower bridal business.

Thanks everyone.

I'm actually based in Fife. As a matter of interest, does anyone know of any decent online suppliers?

KayC, there is a small but facinating florist sundries in Drayton Bassett, just on the outskirts of Sutton Coldfield. A right Aladins Cave, it is just a series of tin huts but some good stuff if you look

Its Excelsior Wholesale I think they also have an online shop and you can order on line. They advertise in the trade mags quite a lot.P.S.Look,Super sreensaver! You will like it !! ))

Does anyone know where I can get large artificial thistles ( even artichokes(sp) would do )Been asked to do a very large display.

I know I got my last lot from country baskets but I wont be anywhere near them within the next few months and the gentleman wants the arrangement in the next couple of weeks.

Thanks in advance
