I got real flowers for my engagement, and I dried the roses and made a floral arrangement with them that graces my dining room table.

I had real flowers at my wedding and that was 18 years ago. I had no engagement party so didnt have to worry about that.

I didnt get any flowers for engagement.
And for wedding I got artificial because he sister and mother decided that it wasnt worth spending a lot of money on so they got it from Walmart.

P.S. They also decided that its stupid and a waste of money to get flowers for engagement, so I didnt get.
I actually have never got any flowers for Shabbos or anything like that, because they dont let him spend money on me like that.

I'm sorry I find that disturbing. "They don't let him". How long are you married? Why do they exert so much control over him and your marriage?

No flowers at engagement, we just had a small lechayim. At the wedding we rented fake flowers.

I got fake both times. My mil is allergic to real flowers. I was asked what I wanted for the wedding meaning I could have gotten real but my mil would have had to stay away when I was holding them, so I agreed to get fake.

but I did get real for my shabbos kallah!

My bouquet was real at the wedding, but all the centerpieces and flowers at the chuppah were fake.

I don't remember getting flowers at my engagement - if I did they were real. DH is amazing at getting flowers - even sent me huge boquets in israel while we were engaged.
People carry fake flowers at their wedding? I've never seen that. I think our centerpiece flowers were fake though

I didn't have a vort/engagement party. Just a l'chaim that everyone ended up coming to so all I had was a nice bouquet of roses from my chassan.

For my wedding, all the centerpieces were rented silk flowers. My bridal bouquet was the only thing that was real.

I'm allergic unfortunately so I got artificial flowers for the engagement but nothing for the wedding. I didn't want...I thought it was a waste. The same way that I didn't wear any makeup to my wedding nor did I have my hair done, just washed and dried it myself, because I wanted dh to see exactly what he was getting.

And he still married me.
Bless him.
He's the best!

Oh, by the way, real too for civil wedding. But we didn't think of buying a bouquet so it was lucky that someone offered us one!
