Fresh vs. Artificial Wedding Flowers: Pros and Cons
Not sure which route is right for you? Here are the pros and cons of using faux flowers vs. real ones.
PROS
• Price: The number one reason why couples turn to faux blooms is the price! Fake flowers are more affordable than real flower blooms.
• Quantity: When budget is an issue, you’re limited with real flowers and can’t always get the amount you crave. But when you buy artificial flowers in bulk, you’ll be amazed at how many you can get for an inexpensive price, allowing you to decorate more and stay in your wedding budget.
• Availability: Now that you can buy bulk faux wedding flowers and decor online, you don’t even have to peruse stores and try to find the best deals — or the stems that look the most “real”. Instead, you can order and have them shipped to your door conveniently and in boxes, so they’re easier to transport to your wedding venue on the weekend of your big day.
• Quality: Buying silk or faux wedding flowers is different than it was even 10 years ago. I’m amazed at how real and how many of these faux wedding flowers look expensive, and most guests won’t even know they’re not real fresh flowers.
• Non-Allergen: For couples who have allergies to particular types of flowers or aromatic florals in general, faux wedding flowers are a great alternative that won’t leave your eyes red, watery, and feelin’ sneezy on your wedding day. That’s a huge plus if I’ve ever heard of one!
• Colors and Types: You’re not limited to the season when it comes to fake flowers for your wedding. You can purchase them anytime, as when the flowers aren’t real they are always readily available. Plus, you don’t need to fly them in to get them and keep them fresh.
• No Wilting: Bulk fake flowers for weddings never wilt, since they’re faux. You won’t need to worry about refrigeration or keeping them in water, since they’re artificial. This is a huge bonus for hot, humid weather or weddings off the beaten path where you don’t really want to worry about keeping the flowers hydrated all day.
CONS
• Scent: Let’s face it, even the best artificial wedding flowers in bulk aren’t the same as real, fresh flowers in terms of scent. The scent of fresh blooms is glorious. But it’s not for everyone, and some people with allergies much prefer the non-sneezy variety. ;)
• DIY: When you buy most bulk wedding flowers, you’ll need to do a little crafting to get the look you like, unless you buy everything pre-made (which is also readily available). For some, this is a pro, if their intent is to create their own decorations and put a personal spin on it. For others, this may be a “con” as they don’t want to add any projects to their long list of to-dos.
• Limitations: With fresh flowers, you can choose very specific scents or colors, types of blooms, and certain wedding flowers in bulk that are in season. But when you’re wondering where to buy bulk artificial flowers for wedding decor, you may be limited on what decor packages are available to get the best deal. For some, this doesn’t matter as they’re flexible and just want something that looks expensive without spending too much money. For others who are more specific, this may be a hindrance finding exactly the colors and styles that work with your wedding theme.
