The main reason why artificial flowers are popularly used in wedding ceremonies is because they are much more affordable than live flowers. Live flowers tend to cost much more, while they do not have long shelf lives. With artificial plants, couples can keep them for years to remember their big day.

A lot of live flowers are wasted after wedding ceremonies when they whither and dry out, only to be thrown out because they can’t be used anymore. While a few people keep dried up flowers as souvenirs, the reality is that it would be nearly impossible and unrealistic to keep the massive amounts of flowers used during a wedding ceremony. Silk flowers on the other hand can be re-used and after the wedding ceremony a couple can decide to keep a few of the flowers and sell the rest.

With silk flowers, couples are given the ability to have their floral arrangements prepared well in advance so that all their attention is placed on other aspects of the wedding planning process. They can be prepared in advance and stored in readiness for the wedding without worrying about wilting, as would be the case with real flowers. Silk flowers also travel well and couples are guaranteed that the flowers will get to the wedding venue intact. Silk flowers also provide the opportunity to create innovative floral arrangements, where real flowers would be too delicate to bed and twist in order to come up with creative floral arrangements.

Artificial flowers also keep well in different weather conditions; real flowers are susceptible to weather changes and they wilt quickly under warm weather conditions. Real flowers also require a lot of attention with regards to their maintenance, to keep them looking fresh throughout the wedding ceremony. However, silk flowers do not need constant watering or placement in direct access to sunlight like real flowers do.

A number of people usually have the concern that silk flowers cannot measure up to the authenticity of real flowers, particularly when it comes to scents. There are a wide range of scented silk flowers in the market which look as real as live flowers in every sense that it would take a closer look to tell that they weren’t the live plants.

Real flowers are seasonal and it might be difficult to find specific flowers that a couple might want to incorporate into their wedding décor. Artificial flowers on the other hand are available all year round and couples are guaranteed that they can always get the type of flowers that they desire to have for their wedding.
