I think growing them yourself may not be a great idea unless gardening is already a hobby that you have. That may be enough stress as it is.

I don't think having silk flowers is in anyway ghetto. Because many companies are offering high quality silk flowers, your flowers can look as good as the real think. If you go to Michael's or other craft stores, their silks are pretty good. Also, there are online wholesale flower websites that have a great reputation for deliveries beautiful flowers days before the wedding. (onlinewholesaleflowers.com) Just remember you would need to care for the flowers about two days before which is added stress. With silk flowers, you do not have that problem. The negative stigma of silk flowers are slowly fading. Go ahead and do silk flowers. There is nothing ghetto about saving money and time.
