What do fresh flowers offer that artificial can not?
Fresh flowers grow in a much greater number of varieties and colors than is available in silk,and fresh provide fragrance and beauty that cannot be imitated. The older sister of a Bride for whom I did flowers mentioned to me with lots of disappointment in her voice that she had settled for silk flowers for her wedding,which left her with many regrets. Rather than the amazing fragrance of fresh cut flowers,unfortunately,her flowers even smelled of cigarette smoke! She said that she would never recommend silk flowers to anyone! This helped to inspire me even more to create the most beautiful fresh floral arrangement for her baby sister. There is something about the vibrant beauty and grandeur of fresh flowers that just can’t be captured by the man made imitations.
How durable are fresh flowers with:Seasons,outdoors use,children use?
Many fresh flowers are available year round,although there are some varieties that have only seasonal availability. An experienced professional florist can always help you to find an appropriate substitution that will be equal in beauty and elegance if your first choice is not readily available at the time of your wedding. There are some flowers that do poorly in heat,such as hydrangea,or do not stay fresh very long without water. A professional florist will offer suggestions that match the place and season for your wedding so that your wedding will be perfectly accented with flowers that you can depend on to stay fresh and beautiful for your event. It is helpful to make sure that your florist (and everyone else involved –the band,caterer,DJ and etc.) knows how kids (their number and age) will be involved in the wedding and reception,and if they going to be wearing flowers. This information will really help to create the best placement for the floral arrangements (etc.) so that they are less likely to get “tipped.” Children who are wearing flowers might be best adorned with flowers that are known for durability as well as beauty. Your professional florist is the key for planning for your exact needs!
