Artificial wedding flowers

All you need to know about artificial wedding flowers

While some brides feel that there’s just no substitute for fresh flowers on their wedding day, others think that the practicality of artificial flowers makes them the obvious choice. If you are considering artificial flowers for your wedding, here are the answers to some of the common questions you may be asking:

Are artificial flowers cheaper than fresh flowers?

The difference in cost between fresh and artificial flowers depends on the quality of the artificial flowers you choose, and the cost and seasonality of the fresh blooms you have your eye on.

If you want to have seasonal flowers that are grown locally, there probably isn’t much difference between fresh and artificial costs, and if you are having high quality artificial flowers they may actually be more expensive. However, if you have your heart set on rare and exotic blooms that are out of season, you will save a lot of money by having artificial ones made.

Flower arrangements and bouquets take the same amount of time for your florist to make, whether they are fresh or artificial, so the labour costs will be the same. The only difference is that artificial arrangements can be made well in advance which may reduce the price slightly.
