Silk Stem Collective made the entire floral process effortless and enjoyable. I ordered the Oslo Collection Bridesmaids Bouquet for myself (the bride) and the Junior Bouquet for th...
e bridal party, and both were absolutely stunning. Ordering was simple, and even when photos weren’t immediately available, the team went above and beyond to provide images of their collections to help with decision-making. The florals arrived about a week before our wedding, were beautifully crafted and incredibly durable — they looked perfect from start to finish. We received so many compliments, and most guests couldn’t believe they weren’t real! I highly recommend Silk Stem Collective to any couple looking for gorgeous, stress-free, and lasting floral arrangements.

ng was amazing! They got delivered to my house WAY earlier than expected, which was excellent since we had to travel a few days earlier up to our wedding venue. Their customer service is absolutely top-tier as well. We got many compliments on how realistic our decor looked, and it really is such a smart alternative for brides who do not want to spend thousands on real flowers.

y. I ordered arch flowers (easy to assemble!), a bridal bouquet, bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres, and the keepsake flowers. They look wonderful in the pictures ❤️

rpieces, bridesmaid bouquets, signage flowers (clipped them on wagon), and aisle markers! So beautiful! The communication was wonderful and the process was easy! Definitely recommend!
We used silk stem collective for our wedding and I am so happy we did! I did not want to spend an outrageous amount on flowers and decided to go with fake flowers for this reason. ...
The floral silk stem uses looks so real and the bouquets were beautiful! We also did a floral arch and it was such a nice touch to our ceremony and reception. They were also very easy to work with and everything arrived in a timely manner!

ny guests complementing they couldn't believe the florals were silk. Amanda was easy to work with, accommodating, and always provided a timely response. I can't recommend highly enough!
We used Silk Stem Collective for our recent wedding. I had heard about using silk florals from a friend that was recently a bridesmaid where they had used them. We then saw SSC at ...
the Bridal Expo in Rosemont where they had some bouquets on display. I was hesitant at first and shopped around at other companies both live and silk florals, before going with SSC. Their pricing and quality were unbeatable. They have amazing customer support and when there was a change in our wedding party they were able to update our order immediately. We did have a couple of the larger leaves pop off one of the bridesmaids was easily reattached. We got so many compliments about them and many guests didn't even realize they weren't live!
Great quality flowers. Nice to have them a week before the wedding. Local florist was able to match bridesmaid flowers to the brides real bouquet. Wrist corsages need to be zip tie...
d to keep from popping off during the day but that was a very easy fix. Returning was easy. Everyone thought they were real flowers.
These flowers, OMG they look so real! They were perfect for our wedding day. Even our amazing photographer Max could not tell they were faux until we told him, which I would consid...
er a huge vote of confidence for their realism. The cost was so much lower than real flowers and they were much less stressful on the day. Thanks Amanda for coordinating these!
Beautiful flowers, easy to assemble and the shipping/return window was far more generous than other rental options. Would highly recommend!
I did A LOT of research on the best florist. I knew I wanted to avoid real florals for my taste, just because our wedding was the dead of summer and far away from where we live. Si...
lk Stem Collective allows you to rent OR purchase any florals or decor. EVERYTHING was so high quality, soft, and made of silk. The stems were heavy and the florals were so full. Everyone asked me if they were real all day along with the comment “how did you get peonies this time of year??” They shipped to me 10 days before my wedding in a recycled box, well packed, clean, and full. I shipped back my rental items in the same box with the provided label the day after we returned from our mini-moon. Everything about the process was affordable, seamless, and stunning. I recommend them to everyone.
The flowers looked amazing and the customer service is excellent.
I loved my flowers and especially how they looked in photos! I chose the Oslo collection and they were gorgeous with our deep green bridesmaid dresses. Customer service was top not...
ch. They were super quick to respond and when my order shipped they were on top of tracking it to make sure it arrived in time. Shipping back was super easy too! Highly recommend if you are looking for something more eco-friendly and budget friendly!
Wow, I am so glad I went with Silk Stem for our wedding. Our venue coordinator said these were the best "fake" flowers she had ever seen! I went with the Adelaide collection and it...
was perfect for summer. My mom gifted me some flowers from her bouquet (my "something old") and I was able to pop those into my bouquet super easily and take them out after the wedding. The flowers came 1 week before our wedding which was perfect timing because we traveled a few hours for our wedding.
I absolutely loved working with Silk Stem! We got the Santiago flowers and everyone was commenting on their stunning quality, vibrancy and just how amazing they looked overall. The...
Silk Stem team was also so communicative and great to work with, and the process was easy. We received our flowers a few days before the wedding and returned them the day after in the boxes they came in. They held up as centerpieces, as aise decor, as corsages, as everything! Can’t recommend them enough and will absolutely use them again for another event/party.
I'm so happy I worked with Silk Stem Collective. The flowers were absolutely gorgeous and I got a TON of compliments (and my wedding was at a botanic garden). They were super respo...
nsive and helpful when we had a small communication error shortly before our wedding. Recommending their services to all of my friends getting married.
I ordered all of our wedding floral needs from the Silk Stem Collective. They had many collections to choose from, and I found one (Odessa) that suited our color palette. I ordered...
our bouquets, centerpieces (and even flower vases), aisle markers, arch flowers, and floral arrangements (total $1,742). This is a bargain compared to real flowers, and because they were rented, it was sustainable! The boxes arrived a week in advance of the wedding, and the return process was very easy. Shipping was already prepaid, and they provided labels, so all we had to do was schedule a FedEx pickup. I also received customer support within 24 hours of any emails I sent, and they were quick to modify the order as I changed my mind throughout the process. The best part is that these flowers look real in the photos!
Silk Stem Collective is the BEST! Anyone who wants affordable flowers, this is the place for you. I ordered a few samples and was very happy with how they looked. I was unsure how ...
faux flowers were going to look/feel/photograph. After receiving my sample, I knew I wanted to go with Silk Stem Collective. I had so many compliments on our flowers for our big day. If I ever need flowers again, I am going to use Silk Stem Collective!
Absolutely loved using them! Flowers looked real (and some felt real!) and they arrived earlier than I expected! They were easy to return since they include the return stickers in ...
the boxes. Cannot recommend enough! Super easy to update my address and everything went so smoothly! The only small thing that didn't matter to me but might to some was I ordered quite a large number of the bridesmaid bouquets (12) and we used them for our centerpieces as well as the bridesmaids. About 4 of them were wrapped in a different color ribbon than the rest - in theory this would be covered by hands, and ours were placed in vases so we didn't care. But I could see some people wanting it all to match exactly and I'm pretty sure this was just because we ordered so many...
I absolutely LOVED the floral piece for my wedding welcome sign from Silk Stem Collective! The price was very reasonable and made the task of having a beautiful sign so much easier...
! I highly recommend for those who are considering silk flowers as a supplement to décor for their wedding.
I loved working with the Silk Stem Collective. First of all, real wedding florals are priced insanely high. I couldn't justify spending thousands of dollars on real florals to end ...
up throwing them in the garbage. I searched several companies that do rented silk flowers for weddings. The style I chose (Kyoto) was exactly what I wanted and it matched my theme and style perfectly. It is worth noting that there are many different styles and colors to fit your needs and style. I also loved that I could order a sample (bridesmaids bouquet) to make sure it's what I wanted. I needed a good sized order - bridal bouquet, 9 boutonnieres, 3 corsages, 6 bridesmaids bouquets, and clip-on sign swag. My numbers also fluctuated (people coming in and out and dropping and picking up) and I was able to reach out to the company to make sure I had the right numbers by my wedding. It was packaged really well and came undamaged. I needed the florals to look perfect for the photos and the ceremony (I didn't care much about after that) and they were. I'm so happy I went with this (women-owned!!) company and can't recommend them enough.
We were so impressed with Silk Stem Collective! Outstanding customer service and gorgeous flowers. Amazing alternative to spending thousands on real flowers. I recommend Silk Stem ...
Collective to every bride!
What I genius idea! 1.) The products are incredible. They look and feel so real! Beautiful collection to choose from, something for everyone. All of the items are very versatile. W...
e actually used the "sign swags" on our wedding arch! Beautiful! I asked to physically see the swags so I could try to figure out how to fasten them to the arch and they shipped me a couple at the same cost as the bouquets samples. Extremely accommodating. 3.) Shipping and handling was so easy. They ship quickly, even the samples. They can in a recycled and reused box, with the return label in it. I did designate a special someone on our wedding day to be in charge of making sure all the flowers went back in their boxes LOL. As simple as taping up the box, slapping the label in it and taking it to FEDEX.
10/10 recommend
If you are considering booking SSC, DO IT! Not only did renting silks save me boatloads to put toward other parts of the wedding, they are a dream to work with. I ordered samples t...

ul, their decor was simple (clean, white), and they had so many options! We went with the Athens collection. NO ONE realized the flowers were fake until we told people and we were proud to tell people! Also a midwestern, women owned business... count this Chicago girl in! They were also so responsive and easy to work with. Receiving and sending back the flowers + was super easy.
I was so nervous about using artificial flowers at our wedding, but I took the leap with Silk Stem Collective and have zero regrets! I wish I could add a picture to this review, be...
cause they looked SO real. They photographed beautifully, you would never know the difference. They were more affordable than real options, plus they couldn’t wilt in our July heat! I decided to go with Silk Stem Collective over other artificial options, simply because I thought their collections were gorgeous and the sample I had requested did not disappoint. Silk Stem Collective responded to my questions. The ordered arrived with plenty of time, and return was easy peasy!
Silk Stem made our floral vision accessible and comfortable for us financially. We ordered centerpiece flowers, aisle runners, my bouquet, and boutonnières from their Juneau collec...
tion. They looked so realistic and guests didn’t even notice they were fake. As someone who can be sensitive to textures, I found the softness of my bouquet to be excellent. They were quick to respond to questions and address any concerns we had. The process for ordering was also super easy. We loved that we could have beautiful realistic fake flowers while still being mindful of our carbon footprint and budget. Lastly, the return process was so easy.
These were such beautiful pieces and looked so realistic in person! It’s part of what made my wedding so easy and for an affordable price.
I was looking for affordable, sustainable options and heard about silk stem collective on a wedding podcast. I looked them up and ended up using them for our wedding and I’m so gla...
d I did! The whole experience was seamless - you can order samples so you can see the flowers before you order and their customer service is amazing- I received responses back quickly every time I reached out. The flowers were delivered exactly when they said they would be , the order was perfect and the return process was easy. I loved the flowers - they were beautiful- and got so many compliments from guests! I would 100% recommend this company to friends and family!
I didn't want real flowers for my wedding. They're pretty, but I don't think they're worth the expense just to die in a few days. I tried a couple other companies' samples and th...
ese are by far the best, realest looking flowers! I ended up renting their arch florals, bridal bouquet, sign swag, and large centerpieces for my wedding. They were perfect. Shipping was quick, and when you're finished you just mail them back in the same box for free! So quick, so easy, and a great quality!
Beautiful. Received with plenty of.time prior to wedding. Return was super easy. Would definately use again!
We used them for our wedding and I was pleasantly surprised! I had never thought of using faux flowers before but now I don't think I would go with anything else. My groomsmen enjo...
yed the boutonnieres, noting how realistic they looked. Colors were perfect too. The price and shipping process was great. I would highly recommend.
I was on a budget for my decor, and I was choosing between faux and Sola Wood. Ended up going with these and I'm so happy I did. I got more realism than I would have with Sola Wood...
, but for basically the same price!
We were thrilled with our flowers. They coordinated with our colors perfectly. We got so many compliments - lots of people asking who our florist was. The shipping was easy and ...
convenient. So happy we went with Silk Stem Collective.
The flowers were so beautiful and we got tons of people saying they did not even look fake. Our photographer especially was blown away. Love the idea of saving the environment too.
Silk Stem was the easiest to work with of all my vendors. The flowers were gorgeous and exactly what I wanted. Amanda was super helpful and replied quickly every time I emailed her...
with questions. My biggest fear was losing something and getting charged but we had a corsage we did not get back due to a family member going home early. I contacted Amanda right away and she was so kind about it and did not charge us. I would definitely recommend Silk Stem!
I was super happy with the flowers we got for our wedding. We chose Odessa which had just the right amount of color. We got so many compliments! Thank you Megan and Amanda!
