Most people associate weddings with magnificent bouquets of fresh cut seasonal flowers, smelling fragrant and wonderful in the perfect wedding setting. However, there is no rule that say you have to have fresh cut flowers as part of your wedding decorations. Artificial flowers are a perfect alternative to spending absolute fortunes on fresh flowers that will last only a few days. Of course you can still opt to have a fresh flower corsage and bridal bouquet, but the decorative flowers for the tables, the ceremony surroundings and the reception do not need to be real.
Nowadays, technological breakthroughs have meant that artificial flowers are not as ‘chintzy’ as they used to seem. The materials used these days appear close enough to the real thing that they can easily be mistaken for it at a glance. There is also a long list of possible materials and options that can be used to make artificial flowers, including clay, plastic, silk, soap and wood.
The Choosing of the Materials
For a wedding, depending on where you are having the ceremony and the setting for that and the reception, you might want to choose an appropriate type of material. For instance, indoors you might choose silk flowers with plastic stems and in one specific style. You might decide on a specific type of display which might benefit better from wood carved or clay carved flowers. The choices are yours to make and you can also choose a combination of all of some of the options too.
Carving flowers from clay or soap is a clever skill to have. The clay and soap flowers are carved with sharp molding tools that can cut and create petals and leaves easily. An expert hand can create many of those types of flower in a day but they can also be made from molds or machines. When you are in the process of choosing the best options you can check prices for spectacular artificial wedding flowers through various sources during your research. Always research prices because you will not only find the same item cheaper at other locations but you might also find better material options that you didn’t know existed. Finding the right kind will help make your special day exceptional.
