I am trying to find a source for really luxurious satin ribbon. It is for a hand tied bridal bouquet. I have searched my local fabric stores, and the ribbon seems cheap and sort of polyester-like(?). It is more like the ribbon that would be used by a florist as a bow on a floral centerpiece, if you know what I mean… I am looking for really soft, thick satin ribbon, like stain fabric, perhaps 4 inches wide. If you know of any on-line sources, could you please let me know? Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

Wrights makes a vast amount of the ribbon sold everywhere. There isn't much made that you can't order from wrights. If you do any work with children you can also order a huge box of outlet ribbon from them for around $6.00 or so. The box is the size you might use for a moving box. It comes packed solid full of ribbon. You don't know what your getting since its their choice. But, from past experience I can tell you its a treasure box you won't belive till you get one:)

Martha Pullen has an excellent real silk satin ribbon that is perfect for your project. The company ships quickly, too. Colors are somewhat limited, but the beautiful drape and body of the ribbon is spectacular.
