Sourcing realistic greenery is by far the toughest part of working with faux flowers. We painstakingly test sample after sample from our manufacturers until we find the stems that are both beautiful and durable. It’s a tough balance to find but the right greenery truly completes an arrangement. 🌿🌱

Keepsake bundles are here!! We constantly get requests for items that we just can’t rent for sanitary reasons (cake flowers, pet collars, and hair pieces to name just a few) so we are finally launching a solution!
Keepsake bundles are yours to use however you please AND they are yours to keep after the event. They would be perfect in a shadow box or displayed in a vase as a visual reminder of your special day for years to come.

Let’s talk wedding color palettes! When we meet couples at wedding fairs and expos, they are often early in the planning process. Most often, all they know for sure is a season and a general color scheme which is a great start!

Then when they go to pick florals they want to include every single color in their palette into the arrangement which can get really overwhelming for the eye or look to matchy matchy.

Instead of having every color in your bouquet, we actually recommend keeping it limited to a few colors in different shades. This keeps things looking cohesive while still drawing the eye to the couple.

You can include the other colors in your color palette in many other ways:

1. Cloth items like table runners, bridesmaids dresses, or arch drape

2. Decorative details like vases, seating chart, or votive candles

3. The venue itself with creative lighting (one of my personal favorites and often quite affordable compared to other decor!)

One of our most frequently asked questions is if our flowers are actually made of silk. And even though we refer to then as “silk flowers” they are actually a composite of specialty plastics and fabrics specialized to each type of flower and greenery.
Silk is a delicate material and though it makes beautiful flowers, they just don’t hold up as well as other materials.
Because our mission is driven by sustainability, we try to source the most durable options. Velvets, plastic fabrics, and Real Touch technology are just some of the many varieties of flowers we have in our inventory. Each flower type is carefully analyzed by our expert manufacturers to make sure we are getting the best combination of realism and durability!

The best part about wildflower bouquets is they can be as formal or as relaxed as the event.
An organic bouquet shape can soften the formality of a cathedral or brighten an industrial space.
Especially outdoors, a pop of color centers the attention where it belongs: on the couple!

“Wear gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life” -Rumi
This year we have so many amazing reasons to be thankful. Every single day we get to do what we were meant to do and it brings us a crazy amount of fulfillment and happiness.
I am thankful to have a sister as a business partner. I love that our talents balance each other and that we give each other the patience and grace needed to always be successful.
I am grateful to be my own boss. Being a small business owner is HARD, much harder than my 9-5 ever was but it is so incredibly rewarding.
We are thankful to be a part of so many beautiful weddings and events. We know what an honor it is and even after so many events, we never take a single client for granted.
More than anything, we are grateful to have a planet that supports us and literally allows us to continue living. As an expression of gratitude, we will continue to protect and support her back in our business, in our volunteer work, and in our daily lives.
Happy Thanksgiving! Take a break from wedding planning to share undivided attention with those you love.

With engagement season just around the corner and many new followers, we wanted to take a minute to re-introduce ourselves.
We are the sisters behind Silk Stem. With a passion for sustainability and a love for all things beautiful, we started the faux flower business with a vision of providing fresh flower alternatives for the eco-conscious couple.
In the beginning we had only a few weddings a month but as word spread, it quickly snowballed into something much bigger.
This is our passion and we are so lucky we get to share it with couples across the country.
Thank you for letting us be a part of your special day 💐

We wish you all a relaxing and joyful season!

Check out our podcast interview with @thebigweddingplanningpodcast where we chat about fresh flower alternatives. @karamia.events also give tons of great info on Sola wood flowers which are another sustainable alternative to fresh!

Did you know most bridal bouquets have a “front” and a “back”? Usually the back is flat so it can lay against your body when you hold it. . We prefer 360 degree bouquets. They look fuller and can be placed in a vase and used as a centerpiece after the ceremony... two uses for the price of one!
