Any Fall Brides use these silk leaves?

Just found these online and wondering if any of you Fall Brides used them for anything...if so what? They look like they may be very fake looking to me - just figured I'd ask before ordering. Although LOL just realized they are only about $4 for 100 leaves...I should just order and decide for myself!

I used silk leaves from CVS, they were so beautifl!!! They looked real and had a little glitter on them and they were great! I got them for .99 and each little box held about 1oo and then for .33 on clearance at the end of the season.......

Yes!!! We got them at Wal-Mart. Under a buck a pack and there were about 88 leaves in each bag. Here's a picture of my place card table:

Re: Any Fall Brides use these silk leaves?

Thanks! Yes I did. I bought the place cards at AC Moore (very inexpensive) and bought the small leaves at AC Moore as well in the scrapbooking department. I think the brand name was Jolee. Then I used glue dots to attach them to the place cards after I printed them out. Took no time at all, and we had 125 of them!

Re: Any Fall Brides use these silk leaves?

Sounds so easy - how about the actual card? I imagine that is one of the last things you do right b/c people probably RSVP late and doing the seating is a big headache I've heard. So did you just buy plain place cards and type them all up yourself and just print them yourself? Where do I get such a pretty font?

Sorry for so many questions!
