Are you worried about having flowers at your wedding because of allergies? There is no need to worry about this any longer because the high quality silk flowers that are available will make you forget all about fresh cut flowers. The silk flowers that are on the market now are so realistic that nobody will know the difference unless they touch them. If you have been worrying about suffering from allergy symptoms on your wedding day, you can relax because you have found the solution. You will be able to enjoy the beauty of flowers without all the downsides as long as you choose wisely.
Technological improvements have made it possible to find silk flowers that are so detailed and lifelike that you’d be hard pressed to tell them from fresh flowers. It’s really no surprise that they are gaining such popularity. In addition to being non allergenic (for people who are allergic to real flower) these lovely blossoms will never wilt, turn brown, or be crushed if handled carelessly. There’s really no limit on the number of arrangements you can design with all the varieties that are available. You will always find that the flowers you love are in season.
To create a basic silk flower arrangement for your wedding reception tables, consider using opaque vases. That way, you’ll be able to set a piece of floral foam securely in the bottom. If you need to, you can use a glue gun to keep it from moving. For clear vases, use glass pebbles and water. It’s important to create a sturdy base that’s heavy enough to keep the arrangement from tipping. Some silk blossoms are heavier than they look, after all.
When making the arrangements, choose a flower that will be the focal point. This blossom should be the tallest in the arrangement, but should not exceed three to four times the height of the chosen vase. Choose a flower that is richly colored as well as large in order to really catch the eye. If it seem to droop at all, just trim the stem a little to stabilize it. Once this flower is in place you can add slightly shorter and smaller flowers to accent and provide visual support. Don’t place any flowers below the lip of the vase or they will not be seen. These accent flowers will draw the eye to the center of the arrangement. Usually, three to five small flowers are sufficient for smaller arrangements.
Once all the flowers are in place, you’re ready to add some filler. You can use fern fronds and other kinds of leafy greenery. You can also add some very small accent flowers like forsythia, eucalyptus branch, baby’s breath, and forget me not. You want the arrangement to look full without it appearing to be overcrowded. Keep in mind that imperfection is much better that perfect symmetry, which will look rather artificial. You may have to try several times, but once you’re finished you’ll have the perfect silk flower arrangements for your wedding. The nice thing a about silk flowers is that you can do it over and over until you are pleased.
