ABOUT THE FLOWERS
“WHY GO WITH ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS INSTEAD OF FRESH FLOWERS?”
Artificial flowers won’t wilt, get smashed during transit, or drop petals
They won’t flare up your allergies - or your guests’ allergies
All artificial flower varieties are available year-round, no matter the season
Artificial flowers are more lightweight than live bouquets, and easier to carry
Fresh flowers are more expensive, yet get discarded after just one day of use
Artificial arrangements can be made far in advance, reducing your day-of stress
They look stunning in photos, without any drooping in the hot summer sun
There is no water involved, so less to worry about, and less to keep up with
Fresh flowers can potentially stain your clothing - artificial flowers do not
Artificial flowers are more durable and can better withstand inclement weather
Since they last forever, you can repurpose them or use them as home decor
Let’s be honest, some real flowers actually stink - artificial flowers are odorless
silk flowers
“Silk” flowers are not always silk, but are made using synthetic fibers and high-tech processes to create botanically accurate, convincing artificial flowers. Silk flowers have a bad rap of being overly fake-looking, but I’m here to tell you that silk flowers are on the rise! Chosen carefully, silk flowers have fooled many a guest! An added bonus is that they are practically indestructible!
Sola flowers
Sola flowers are hand-formed from the thin shavings of tapioca or balsa tree bark. They can have brown bark on them or be a solid ivory, which is their natural color. There are literally hundreds of impressive sola flower styles! In their natural state they are somewhat soft and spongy, similar to foam flowers.

fabric flowers
I don’t get asked to use fabric flowers very often, but when I do, I love the way they give off a vintage, “Great Gatsby” vibe! Occasionally I will also add fabric flowers to a sola or silk flower mixture. Varying textures always make a floral arrangement pop! Often, the fabric flowers will have a rhinestone or pearl center for a bit of extra bling!
brooch bouquets
Ahh, brooch bouquets…photos just don’t do them justice! The way they sparkle and shine is sure to catch the eye of every guest! Choose this if you’re looking for that wow factor at your wedding! I can do clear rhinestones and pearls like above for a classy, elegant look, or multicolored jewels for a jazzy, extravagant flair to match your personality!
IN ADDITION TO THE VARIOUS “FLOWERS” I USE, I ALSO UTILIZE A VARIETY OF DRIED, PRESERVED, OR ARTIFICIAL GREENERY AND BOTANICALS TO CREATE YOUR FLORAL DESIGNS!
