Congratulations! You’re going through with the wedding of your dreams. It has now come to the point of decision on your unique version of décor and bouquet. Maybe you’ve asked around and found that fresh flowers are too delicate or aren’t going to last long enough to see you down the aisle. Or Perhaps you were never into the idea of fresh florals anyway? Regardless, there are so many avenues to explore when looking for your bouquet and wedding design toppers.
Maybe you love the look, but…
- You’re cousin is allergic
- It’s hay fever season
- They look too imperfect
- The smell isn’t something you enjoy
This is all perfectly fine because there is a beautiful alternative just waiting for you to pick it up. Artificial Wedding Flowers aren’t a new idea, but they have improved dramatically in quality over time. So many of the options on the market now are so realistic that it becomes hard to tell the difference. These flowers last for years upon years, as opposed to the unpredictable number of mere hours that fresh flowers offer. Also this option lends itself to more creative ways of displaying your floral arrangements, such as suspension, sculpture, mixing totally different styles, poking the stems into all sorts of shapes, and the list goes on! There are so many artificial flower arrangements online so it will be easy to find yourself some stems and some groovy ideas to use them in a new and fun way!
Flowers aren’t your thing…
That’s no worries! Many people before you have explored the flowerless wedding. It can be done to uphold and mimic the elegance of a traditional wedding or have fun by breaking down the barriers and making the event truly yours. Some ideas to get you started include:
- Broach Bouquet
- Fun Materials with a lot of texture
- Feather bouquet
- Using sheet music or felt to craft your own floral inspired bouquet
I LOVE plants, just not the flowers…
Using succulents and native plants is such a modern way to bouquet. This is an eye-catching way to integrate the nature inspired feel of the traditional events, while bringing a new look to your special day. These are a durable option as succulents are easy to maintain and can shine no matter how they’re used in your celebration. If you’re after a shabby-chic wedding, then succulents in old tins work perfectly as table decorations. Use these lasting plants as your undo accessory or as a substitute for your flower crown! Succulents and natives also look fantastic on a cake especially when un-perfectly arranged with artificial wedding flowers.
Other fun ways to get everyone involved in the making of the bouquets and decorations might be to make them using anything you can think of really! Dried flowers, Felt flowers, Origami flowers, vintage cameras, jewels and embroidery hoops are some ideas just to get you warmed up.
