Silk flowers for weddings

By Patricia Edmonds


Are you a bride planning a wedding? You already know that it takes a lot of work and planning to pull off your perfect day. You may be looking at all kinds of things you want at your wedding including what flowers to make up your bouquet or what flowers to decorate the church in. Why not use silk wedding flowers instead of fresh flowers to decorate your church or make up your bouquet?

Why are silk flowers so popular to use at weddings? First off, there are timeless pieces of the wedding. They never wilt. Second, if you are allergic to certain flowers, these silk wedding flowers won't have you sneezing, itching or breaking out during your big day.

A third reason silk flowers are so popular is that some flowers that a bride may not always be in season. Many brides don't want to settle with another flower so what can they do? They'll use silk flowers. Not only that but silk flowers can also be dyed to match the color of your wedding.

Many brides would like to keep their bouquets as another reminder of their best day? Fresh flowers are expensive to preserve, costing anywhere from $200 to $800. Silk wedding flowers can make up your bouquet so you save on money in the long run.

What about marriage on a cruise ship? If you have plans to get married while out on open waters, bringing fresh flowers on board yourself is a no-no. If you plan to keep your bouquet and want to save money, use silk wedding flowers. Saving money is important when you realize how expensive cruise ships flowers can get.

Some women like to give their bouquets to their children when they are older. If you already want to keep your wedding dress, why not keep your bouquet? If you aren't passing them down, then they'll make wonderful and beautiful decorations on certain pieces of furniture.

Many florist deal in fresh flowers but they will also put together silk wedding flowers too. Did you hire a wedding coordinator to help you with the details? If so, they'll narrow down where to find them for you. However, you'll need to make them aware that this is your preference.

Should you be planning your own wedding, look beyond a local florist. Instead, if you want to save some money, look online for florists. You can find really good deals, price them together and choose who gives you the best deal and the best flowers.
