Silk flowers at a wedding?

[pomtzu]

Not a darn thing wrong with silk, in fact, I think in many instances they look better than real. They're more practical, less expensive, and something that the guests that receive them, will be able to enjoy for a long time to come. If you want fragrance, you can buy floral fragrances in a spray bottle, and give the arrangements a squirt. Just about every wedding that I have attended or been a part of in the past 10 years or so, have utilized the silk flowers - right down to the bride's bouquet!

A hint to help keep silk arrangements dust free - spray them with hair spray. It really works. I received a beautiful arrangement about 7 or 8 years ago and I did this - and it really works. I just occasionally blow what little dust off that accumulates, and it looks good as new.


ETA:
Another thing you might want to consider, depending on what type of flowers you are planning on using. Instead of ALL silk, add in some dried flowers and/or greens to the arrangements - baby's breath comes to mind right now, but you can get just about anything dried. Just a thought...........
