The Advantages of Using Artificial Flowers
Before deciding which type of flowers you will be using on your wedding day, we suggest you read on to see the benefits of using artificial flowers on your big day.
They are Always in Season
One of the best things about artificial flowers is that they are available all year long. While some brides think about how to get those peonies or orchids in the middle of fall, with faux flowers you don’t even have to think about it. You don’t have to stick to seasonal flowers, but choose whatever flowers you want.
Long-Lasting Flowers, You Can Keep Them Forever
Artificial flowers won’t face the challenge of hot weather. Most flowers start to look sad in heat, but with faux ones, you simply won’t have that problem.
Not only they look great on your wedding day, but they also last as long as you wish. Some brides kept their wedding bouquets that are now in vases in their homes as part of the decoration.
Cost-Effective
This fact might be the obvious one, but just to make sure you know it. Artificial flowers are much cheaper than the ones you get fresh from your florist. In some cases, though, luxurious faux flower arrangements can cost more or the same as fresh flowers, but usually they are more budget-friendly.
Allergy-Free
The fact that artificial flowers are allergy-free is important not only for you but for your guests as well. For some people, allergies represent a serious problem, so being at a wedding, surrounded by fresh flowers can easily turn into a nightmare. With faux flowers, you don’t even have to think about it. Everyone will enjoy it!
Easy Transport
Destination weddings are beautiful but also harder to organize than regular ones. Especially if you want luxurious flower decorations. Many brides are thinking about how to transport flowers and keep them fresh. We have an answer – artificial flowers.
You need to think about the country you are going to have your destination wedding. They might not have every flower you have imagined for your decor. However, with artificial ones, you can always have whatever you want and transport them much easier.
No Surprises
With fresh flowers, you never know when they can change or start looking old and sad. That is definitely not a case with faux flowers. They will look the same from the beginning to the end of your wedding day.
Eco-Friendly
The great thing about artificial flowers or arrangements is that they can be repurposed all over again. You can keep the arrangements after the wedding and use them for your home decoration, another celebration or gift them to your bridesmaids.
