Faux, Silk or artificial flowers (please don’t call them fake!) have improved no end in the past few years and they are now often indistinguishable from the real thing. Real flowers or fresh foliage can be used in any combination. The decision is ultimately yours.

Faux are a better alternative for the environment as all items are reused and repurposed. Real flowers sometimes barely last until the following day and produce a lot of waste. Faux are an ideal choice for allergy sufferers plus they will withstand extremes of heat or cold and not be affected by the weather, so no worries there.

Faux flowers also provide that extra versatility and flexibility enabling couples to choose their favourite blooms regardless of the season. They also tend to be a lot more cost effective especially when it comes to large installations.

Lastly if you think you may be missing the scent of real flowers then I have some ideas in that regard to!

There are many positives for using Faux or Silk but mainly I love them because they look great x
