With artificial flowers, you will have the full seasonal range to choose from all year round, no matter what month you're getting married. There's no limitations with silk flowers like there is with real flowers that only bloom during certain times of the year.

Some flowers are dangerous to animals, with some even being deadly. With silk flowers, you won't need to limit yourself to just the safe flowers. So if you're having animals at your wedding, or want to take them to your pet occupied home, you know they aren't going to suffer.

Don't spend money on real flowers that will just die. With artificial florals, you can keep them forever! Whether that be your bouquet in a vase or a table garland on your fireplace. Your bridal party can take their bouquets and buttonholes home for a lovely keepsake too.

With typical English weather, you won't need to worry about your flowers wilting in the heat, or having to keep your flowers cool and hydrated the day before. In fact, you won't need to put them in water at all, which reduces any spillage risk on your gorgeous dress!

Real flowers have to be arranged the day before your wedding so they don't die, which means you don't get to see them until it's too late to make adjustments. With silk flowers, you can receive them months before your big day and allow time for any changes you may wish to make.

Whilst silk flowers aren't too much cheaper than real, they're more cost effective as they will last longer than the typical five day life of real flowers. In fact, they will last forever if you look after them and can be repurposed and have multiple uses after your wedding day.

With hay-fever and allergies being quite common, you won't need to worry about any reactions such as sneezing or watery eyes with silk flowers. The last thing you want is mascara down your face on your wedding day from the pollan overdose.

These are your wedding day flowers, but have you considered other options? They can be incorporated into pre-wedding photoshoots such as bridal boudoir or an engagement shoot as you'll have them as early as you like. The possibilities are endless, with only one price tag.

Artificial flowers are unlikely to be damaged if accidentally knocked over by a guest. If they tip over, they won't get squished flat like real ones, and the heads won't easily fall off. Also as they do not require any water, there is no chance of a spillage on your wedding day.

Outdoor weddings and real flowers is your worst nightmare. Bee's, wasps and insects will naturally be attracted to your bouquet and floral decor, and the last thing you want is to be waving your arms around whilst saying your vows. or worse, one flying down your dress.
