Choosing flowers for your wedding day is a big decision, one that requires more than just deciding which colors and types of flowers. Many brides are finding the benefits of silk flowers outweigh the benefits of real flowers. Here are a few benefits of using silk flowers, rather than real flowers:
- No surprises. Your flowers are custom made just for you. Early delivery assures you that your flowers are just as you imagined…with no surprises on your wedding day!
- Always “fresh” no matter what the season. You won’t have to worry about your flowers wilting or freezing so they will always look “fresh”.
- Always in Season. Silk allows you the freedom to choose the flowers you love without worrying about seasonal costs and the ability to get them in on time.
- Always light. Silks are half the weight of real flowers. Even with a full, tightly-packed bouquet, you will have a light bouquet, which will be easy to carry.
- Scent free. There are no worries about allergies with silk flowers.
- Insect free. If you’re having an outdoor wedding, silk flowers won’t attract insects like fresh ones would.
Choosing to use silk flowers allows you to be more involved as the flowers are being put together. With fresh flowers, making changes isn’t that easy. What the florist delivers the day of the wedding is generally what the flowers will be, whether or not it’s exactly what the bride wanted. With silks you can design ahead of time, and it’s one less expense and thing to worry about when the wedding date arrives.
Lastly, you don’t have to worry about the costly expense of preserving your bouquet after the wedding. Your bouquet will look the same after the wedding as it did before the wedding and for many years to come.
