Choosing Flowers for Your Big Day

Your wedding day is booked, and you’re finally ready to nail down the specifics for your big day. However, one of the hardest parts of planning your wedding can be the flowers.

From your centerpieces to your bouquets, the florals are an important feature and can bring a whole room together. Plus, if you don’t know much about flowers, budgeting for blooms and figuring out which ones are in season can add additional stress.

One way to ensure you have the florals of your dreams is using fake flowers for your wedding day. You might worry that they look tacky, but don’t! Artificial flowers have come a long way and can be better in the long run.

Why Use Fake Flowers for Your Wedding Day

Many faux flowers look so realistic your guests won’t even know they’re fake! If you’re considering using faux flowers, here are some of the benefits of using them on your special day.

1. You’ll have allergy-free florals.

If you or your guests have a pollen allergy or are allergic to flowers, faux flowers can be a way to have beautiful flowers still but without the allergens!

2. Silk wedding flowers are budget-friendly.

Faux flowers are built to last, so it won’t matter if you buy them a year out from your big day or the day before. This means you can spread the cost out over time and slowly get all your flowers.

3. Faux wedding flowers are more durable.

Fresh flowers are fairly fragile and can start losing petals and rip apart easily. Faux flowers are more durable, making them more sturdy than your everyday flower.

Tips for Using Fake Flowers for Your Wedding Day

1. Make sure the flowers look convincing.

While faux flowers give you the opportunity to get creative with your wedding flower options, if you want them to look great, make them look convincing. While you can certainly dye blooms or purchase seasonal flowers, there are a few things you want to look for.

  • Consider Size: You don’t need a rose the size of a teacup or a daisy the size of your dinner plate.
  • Consider Color: Your flowers should have a range of colors, not a single color. An example is hydrangeas, which normally don’t come in a single solid hue. Opt for florals in tones that are similar or close to the colors they are naturally.

2. Purchase quality wedding flowers.

The difference between tacky and elegant is the quality of the flowers you purchase. Your wedding day isn’t the time to head to the dollar store for stems. There are a ton of realistic-looking flowers out there that are affordable.
