Silk Wedding Bouquets
Silk wedding bouquets may not be everyone's cup of
tea. When one thinks of a marriage ceremony and reception, one usually
thinks of fresh wedding flowers.
Every beautiful adjective that can come to mind describes fresh
flowers perfectly.
Because of the timeless attraction of natural flowers, they
are often used in weddings to symbolize the bride's purity and beauty.
Even when the wedding theme
is modern and unusual, a wedding bouquet still holds its rightful
place, and that is right in the hands of the bride.
But today, flowers are getting more expensive, especially the type
of flowers that grow in special weather conditions such as in the
tropics or those in cold climates. To have beautiful flowers on
your wedding day especially out of season, you may try silk flowers
for your wedding bouquet coordinated with silk flowers for the ceremony
and reception.
Properties of silk bouquets
Silk flowers for wedding bouquets are crafted by highly talented
and skillful artists. Silk is used to create life-like flowers,
complete with vivid and natural colors inherent in flowers. Each
bud, leaf, and stem and even thorns for thorny flowers such as roses,
are initially machine-crafted and then afterwards individually handcrafted
to ensure the quality of the silk flowers.
Silk wedding bouquets are created to last. The silk material used
can withstand handling, dust and water. So, the flowers that you
used during your wedding including the bouquet can be resold to
another couple or individuals who might have a good use for these
silk flowers. Or you may take them home to don your living room's
table top, your dining table, patio, and even inside your bedroom.
Silk flowers are also easy to maintain. You only need the kind
of plant spray that contains a liquid detergent. Spritz it on the
silk flowers and let it stand for a few second before you use a
clean cloth to wipe the liquid detergent and dirt away from the
flowers.
Why you should try silk bouquets
Of course, nothing can compete with natural flowers. However, most
of the times, the freshness of natural flowers is compromised especially
if they were imported and had been passed on from one hand to another
before they reach you. Silk wedding bouquets do not have the restrictions
or 'lifespan' as all natural flowers have. In fact, even after years
of marriage, the very wedding bouquet that you have walked with
down the aisle with is still fresh.
Silk wedding bouquets are cheaper than natural flowers. The silk
version of expensive flowers such as tulips, magnolias, and others
are almost fifty percent cheaper than the natural ones. The same
goes with other flower such as corsages, boutonnieres, wreaths,
vase arrangements, and flower petals.
Natural flowers for wedding bouquets and other uses are wonderful
if you can afford them and if you don't mind that they will be gone
in a very short while. If, however, you'd like flowers with longevity,
then try a silk wedding bouquet at your event.
