Why choose artificial flowers?

Fresh Flowers pose so many concerning questions to newly engaged couples. How much do fresh wedding flowers cost? Why are fresh wedding flowers so expensive? How long do real wedding flowers last? What real wedding flowers are in season in June, July, August, September, October, and so forth? The list goes on and on. There is one quick fix and answer to all of these questions… silk flowers.

Silk flowers do not cost as much as real flowers, and here is why…

Fresh cut flowers are a delicate industry. Because all brides have a vision, and most of the time their floral vision includes roses, peonies, dahlias, ranunculus flowers and more. The problem is all of these blooms are seasonal, and because they are in high demand for brides, nearly 80% of all fresh cut flowers are imported from other countries. This drives up cost astronomically for couples. Because silk flowers have no peak season, they are cheaper and more accessible.

Silk flowers are more sustainable…

because of the statistic cited above (“nearly 80% of all fresh cut flowers are imported from other countries”), that means not only are real flowers not cost effective, but they also a huge contributor to green house gas emissions, exploitation of workers, pesticides impacting ecostructures, and many other factors that impact the on going climate crisis. Because we specifically source our hyper realistic blooms from reputable artisans, based in the US, we avoid all of these issues! And that is why fake flowers are actually the realest way to shop sustainably for your day!
