How to Choose the Best Fake Flowers for Weddings and Events
Planning a wedding or large event involves countless decisions, but one of the most visual elements is your floral arrangement. More couples and event planners are turning to silk flowers as a stunning and stress-free alternative to fresh blooms. Here's how to choose the best fake flowers for your big day.
Why Choose Silk Flowers?
Silk flowers—also referred to as fake or artificial flowers—offer the same elegance and beauty as fresh flowers without the fragility. They won’t wilt, they’re allergy-friendly, and they can be arranged well in advance of the event. They also make wonderful keepsakes.
Tips for Choosing the Best Fake Flowers
1. Match the Theme
Consider your wedding or event theme. Romantic ceremonies pair well with silk roses and peonies, while tropical events shine with frangipanis and orchids.
2. Think About Colour Palette
Silk flowers come in an endless range of colours. Be sure to align your floral colours with the bridal party outfits, table settings, and venue décor.
3. Choose Real Touch Varieties
For the most realistic effect, opt for real touch or high-quality silk varieties. They have a natural feel and photograph beautifully.
4. Mix Textures and Sizes
Blend different flower types and greenery to create dimension. Add silk eucalyptus or baby’s breath to give arrangements a lush, organic feel.
5. Consider Longevity and Transport
Silk flowers are ideal for destination weddings and events in remote areas. They travel well and can be reused for future occasions.
