Why Faux Flowers?

Floral arrangements always add a beautiful look and style to weddings. They introduce color and personality into all aspects of your celebration, helping create the perfect romantic ambience for your special day.

And while real wedding flowers can be expensive, there is a way to enjoy the look and feel that you want for your celebration, while also reducing some of the costs – use faux flowers in place of real flowers.

Why Choose Faux Flowers?

Faux flowers (sometimes referred to as “artificial” flowers) can exhibit all of the natural beauty of real flowers while providing a budget-friendly option for you on your wedding day. Also, using faux flowers can save you money when used as an accompaniment to fresh flowers.

In addition to lower costs, I have listed below a few additional things to think about while you decide whether to use faux flowers on your wedding day!

Benefits of Faux Flowers

  • (1) There are several options available in the materials (paper, silk, etc.) and quality of the faux flowers you can use.

  • For the custom designs I create for you, I strive to find faux flowers that look and feel as close to the real thing as I can get.

  • (2) Faux flowers are always in season.

  • Certain real flowers may not be in season or available when you need them for your ceremony, depending on the flower type you wish to use.

  • (3) Faux flowers always have a fresh look to them.

  • No need to worry about faux flowers wilting or losing their freshness, and you will be able to display them long after your ceremony.

  • (4) You can receive faux floral arrangements well before your ceremony without worrying about them wilting, even in the heat and humidity of the South!

  • To remain fresh, real flowers must be stored in a cooler or in vases with water to prevent them from wilting. Also, real flower deliveries often take place on the day of the wedding.
