When you start to plan your special day, the theme of the wedding, the color of the dresses and choice of flowers are among the first things we think of. Sometimes brides tend to think of real flowers as their first choice, but soon change their mind, as many brides are faced with the reality that maybe their favorite flower might not be in season. Or, maybe it is not hearty enough for a hot summe
r day. Fresh flowers are beautiful but they do pose some serious limitations. Silk artificial flowers are a great fresh flower alternative, as well as a wonderful *keepsake for the home decor or saving to pass down to your daughter someday! If you love the way fresh flowers look but you do not want them to die during your event, then Bouquets made from silk flowers are the hottest trend right now for weddings! Some of today's artificial silk flowers are so real looking you actually have to smell them to believe they are not real! Below are some of the benefits of using silk flowers:
1) REALISTIC LOOKING!
2) THEY WILL NOT WILT or FALL APART:
During the hot summer months it is extremely difficult to keep fresh flowers from wilting. Hydrangeas and Roses are the number one, most used fresh wedding flower, and the first to wilt. Tiger Lilies, Oriental Lilies, Stargazer Lilies, Asiatic Lilies and other lilies are extremely hard to work with. They also break, bruise and bend leaving crease marks that are non repairable. Using silk flowers keeps them fresh all day and fresh for many years to come.
3) NON-ALLERGENIC:
Many people have allergies to fresh flowers. Silk flowers give you the flowers you want but spare you from the watery eyes,sneezing, congestion and stuffy/runny nose!
4) NON SEASONAL:
Want a Christmas in July wedding? How about tulips in the winter? Many fresh flowers are seasonal and become near impossible to purchase off season, and if you can get them, they are very expensive. Silk flowers are the perfect solution for this. You can get your favorite flower in any season!
5) MAINTENANCE FREE / WORRY FREE:
Many fresh flowers have a very small window before they start to wilt, which is why Florists deliver them as close to the ceremony time as possible. When you use silk flowers, you do not need to worry about keeping them cool or in water. They will stay this fresh *forever! (Forever Yours!)
6) EASY TO TRANSPORT / GREAT FOR DESTINATION WEDDINGS:
Silk Bouquets are the perfect solution for a destination Wedding! They transport easily and when bringing them back over the border there is no worry over customs confiscating your memories.
7) NO BEES or WASPS:
If you are one of those brides who hates Bees, are allergic to Bee Stings, or are concerned about having an outdoor wedding, then silk are just for you!! Although they look and feel real, our little buzzy friends will not be attracted to them or you!
8) YOU CAN RECEIVE THEM WEEKS OR MONTHS IN ADVANCE:
There is a lot of commotion on your wedding day. People in, People out, deliveries here, deliveries there, it's a crazy day. And, if the florist is late, the flowers were not what you expected, or are already wilting from the heat, or maybe frozen from the cold weather, this could mess up your entire day! Receiving your flowers in advance helps with that stress.
9) NO NEED FOR EXPENSIVE PRESERVING OF FLOWERS:
When they preserve your flowers, they actually take them apart and rebuild them to have a flat side so it can be placed in a frame. They do not reuse every flower that was in your bouquet. When you have a silk bouquet, there is no need for that service and you get to keep your flowers just the way they were on that special day.
10) WEDDING KEEPSAKE / FAMILY HEIRLOOM:
When our moms saved their wedding dresses for us, sometimes it's hard to say "no thanks". We all know that dresses go out of fashion. Well there is a new Heirloom that never goes out of fashion. FLOWERS!!!! Wouldn't it be fun to pass your flowers to your daughter? That could be her "SOMETHING OLD"
ABOUT PRICING:
Each order is customized. Depending on your budget, and the flowers you wish to have in your wedding, will make the difference in price. The exact price of your bouquets will depend on the types of flowers used, handle treatments, embellishments, size, etc.
*I can make bouquets smaller or larger. If you have a very small budget, I can use as many flowers per bouquet as that budget allows. You have the option of purchasing your flowers on your own and I will charge accordingly for my labor costs separately.
