Why Choose Silk Flowers for Your Wedding?

Before you answer, I ask you: Have you checked out the silk flowers, foliage and artificial plants and trees that are available these days? It's hard to believe how realistic they look, and feel. 

If you are shopping for flower arrangements or bouquets, you (and your wallet) will be delighted, and guests will be buzzing in amazement and wonder about the realism of the displays.  Artificial flowers really have come a long way in recent years. 

Silk Flowers Versus Fresh:
Advantages, Reasons for Choosing

Silk flowers last...and last...and last. And they can be cleaned easily and quickly to look fresh as ever.

Weather conditions will not affect them. They don't need care, won't wilt, dry out, or die.

Mementos of special celebrations will endure for many years.

No worries about allergic reactions to scents and pollen. On the other hand, scent can be added if desired.

Faux flowers will not attract bees and other insects!

Availability and pricing are not ruled by the seasons, remembrance days or holidays. You can pretty much get what you want, in a wide variety of colors, whenever you wish, at reasonable and customary prices.

Most artificial flower stems and elements can be bent, twisted and shaped - kind of like floral sculpting - to create unusual and striking designs.

Silk flower arrangements and bouquets can cost substantially less than fresh flowers.  

You can order silk flowers and see the finished arrangements well ahead of any celebration. And late additions are relatively easy to acquire.

Silk bouquets are much lighter to hold than fresh. I'm sure you will appreciate that a silk flower wedding bouquet will seem almost weightless, compared to a fresh bouquet that requires water-soaked foam to delay wilting.

Silk flowers are almost indestructible (no crushing or bruising).

For destination weddings, a silk bridal bouquet can be packed in a suitcase and emerge unharmed hours or days later. And there won't be any problems with international Customs authorities.
