THEY can set you back a whopping £90 each.
And if you’ve got 12 bridesmaids to buy bouquets for, that can quickly add up.
So a savvy bride has shared how she saved herself almost £1,000 thanks to a bargain buy from Dunelm.
Nikki and Cloe are set to tie the knot in 2025, and have been keeping people updated on their budget wedding finds on their social media pages.
In a recent TikTok video, the brides-to-be posted the Dunelm find – sharing a look at a table holding 12 of the artificial Rose and Gypsophila Bouquets.
“Run to @Dunelm for your bridesmaid bouquets they look so realistic,” they captioned the video.
They showed the bouquets from a distance, as well as zooming right in on the gorgeous white flowers.
“This stunning cream rose and gypsophila bundle has a traditional design with an organza ribbon detail and modern colourway that will complement an array of home decors beautifully,” Dunelm wrote of the bouquets on their website.
The bouquets come in at £16 each, or six for £86.
As they bought 12 of them, Nikki and Cloe spent £172 in total.
In comparison, at an average of £90 a bouquet, you can expect to pay upwards of £1,000 for fresh flower bouquets for that many bridesmaids.
So the pair have saved themselves around £900 by shopping in Dunelm for the bouquets.
“Run to @Dunelm for your bridesmaid bouquets – they look so realistic,” they captioned the video.
And the comments section was immediately filled with people weighing in on their budget-friendly find.
“I had these at my wedding, they are beautiful!” one wrote.
“Love these so much! they are actually such good value as well,” another added.
“They really are! Quality is unreal too!” Nikki and Cloe replied.
“They look nothing like this on the actual page,” a third commented.
