Silk or Fresh Wedding Flowers?
Every year more and more brides-to-be and floral designers are discovering the advantages of using silk flowers instead of fresh. If you're working on a tight budget, silk is almost always less expensive than fresh. In today's world of spiraling costs on just about everything, that's definitely a plus. And if your wedding is somewhere away from home, you can have your arrangements done locally and bring them with you.
Any style of bouquet or type of table decorations can be done with silk. You can be as plain or extravagant as you wish. Since silk bouquets and other wedding decorations can be made up ahead of time, you get to see and enjoy your flowers before, during, and after the wedding. No refrigeration needed! What a stress reliever, not having to wait until the last minute wondering if the florist will arrive on time; wondering if they have the right flowers, or if they will wilt or fall apart before the festivities are over. In fact, silk flowers last indefinitely. Imagine watching your daughter or granddaughter walk down the aisle holding your wedding bouquet!
 In the last few years, silk flowers have become so realistic that many people are completely fooled. They can even be scented to smell like real flowers. So many more colors are available, and silk flowers are never out of season. Imagine trying to find a deep mauve rose bud, a light blue open rose, or an orange Mum.
Another plus to using silk flowers; after the wedding, you can sell the ones you don't want to keep!
So consider using silk flowers in your wedding for the start of a less stressful and less expensive experience.
