Silk wedding flowers

By Patricia Edmonds


Most women know the headaches that come with putting a wedding together whether it is a big wedding or a small wedding. Brides will look at everything they want on their wedding right down to the kinds of shoes they'll want to wear. Decorating the church is big too. One of the biggest challenges facing brides is whether to use fresh flowers or use silk flowers instead.

Silk wedding flowers are priceless, timeless flowers but don't have a smell to them right off like fresh flowers do. This can be good if you have an allergy to fresh flowers. This isn't the only reason you should use silk wedding flowers to compliment your best 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.

Have you and the groom decided to get married out on the open sea? While this is a wonderful place to get married, forget using your own fresh flowers. The cruise ship has packages that include fresh flowers but don't look at the price of it. Again, to save a bit of money for the honeymoon, bring on some silk flowers that work just as good as fresh ones.

Should you have a daughter one day, wouldn't you like to see her walk down the aisle with your bouquet? Some women love to pass on their bouquets to their daughters/children as a reminder of the love their shared with their fathers. However, until the day comes, if it ever does, you can use the bouquet for a decoration on a curio/china cabinet.

These flowers can be found anywhere. Your wedding coordinator, should you have one, will need to know your preference for these timeless classics. They'll also know where to go to find silk wedding flowers.

However, if you are planning a wedding on your own, you may look to other sources to find your silk wedding flowers. Use the Internet to find several online florist and retailers. Price them with what you need and what you want. You can get some really good deals if you look close enough.
