Anyone have experience with artificial flowers for events?

I'm not crazy about that kind - I think they look and feel like foam, and you have to hide the stem.

Some of the silk flowers look nice, and I like the wood ones, but you have to dye or paint though - not good with little time!

I think in your case, I would find a brand that does pre-made arrangements you like. Try Lings Moments and then look at the Amazon recommendations after you click on one you like. Also, you can be creative - just because they say a set is, for instance, arch flowers, doesn't mean they won't look great flat on a table as a centerpiece.

Be sure to find a greenery you like - that really fills them out.
