Silk or Real? Your Wedding Flower Questions Put to Rest – At Last
Silk or real; what’s a bride to do? For many brides, the question is really perplexing — especially for those who want to mix a dash of “Do-It-Yourself” into their wedding flower preparations.
Obviously, silk comes with some advantages — it’s tough and shelf stable, and the petals won’t come off at the worst possible moment. On the other hand, silk flowers don’t always look real, and they aren’t always a bargain, either.
The fact is, the silk versus real dilemma is more confusing than ever, thanks in part due to the increasing sophistication — and accompanying cost — of silk and latex flowers. To navigate this new terrain, we interviewed Paul Ajao, a professional florist and cofounder of Pure Botanics (http://wedding-flowers-guide.com/), a UK-based floral designer who specializes in weddings.

Choosing Your Wedding Flowers
Flowers are as essential to a wedding as the bride’s beautiful dress, the perfectly decorated cake and the personally designed rings. When choosing flowers for your wedding you should take into consideration what season you are in as well as remember to be consistent throughout the different elements of your wedding that require flowers – making sure that the flowers compliment each other as well as the bride and groom’s outfits. Although some couples choose to go bold and loud when it comes to wedding flowers, most still opt for the elegant and traditional white.
Before you make the big decision it’s always good to ask yourself what type of bride you are. Are you looking for vibrant colors for your wedding flowers, or do you want a more subtle, conventional look with white roses or lilies? Among the top five most popular wedding flowers worldwide you’ll find roses, tulips, lilies, hydrangeas and peonies. What’s great about roses and lilies in particular is that they are available all year, so you don’t have to worry about in what season your wedding is taking place.
