Top Picks For Silk Flower Wedding Arrangements – Bloomr
Top Picks For Silk Flower Wedding Arrangements
Flowers are the one decorative item most associated with weddings. Every year, couples happily spend thousands of dollars to create the perfect ambience for their special day. From bridal bouquets to flower girl petals, from guest table centrepieces to place card arrangements, flowers are a must for any spectacular wedding. And what many wedding planners and newly engaged couples are now realizing are the advantages of using silk florals over real ones.
When using silk flowers, not only are they more affordable than their living counterparts, but they remove a lot of your worries, such as what is in season, how long certain flowers will last, or how transporting these delicate plants will affect their appearance on the day of your event.
We love looking for inspiration for our own wedding decoration ideas, so we wanted to share a few with you.

On Trend: Succulents – Bloomr
This article is contributed by Bloomr.
Succulents are all the rage these days. They adorn spaces far beyond their native desert surroundings. You find them at weddings, as bouquet and table arrangements and favors, on Pinterest style plant walls in trendy art spaces and any and everywhere as modern urban decor.
We know and love succulents for their rich colored fleshy leaves, dynamic shapes and relatively low maintenance. They survive in dry environments so can adapt well to indoor climates and don’t need too much direct sunlight. Not to mention, they look great as stand alones or potted in groups!
This isn’t to say indoor succulents can’t be tempermental. They need water, but not too much water. And sunlight, but not too much. They can attract unwelcome insects, and as they deteriorate they give off an unpleasant odor.
Artificial succulents are even more NO maintenance – without the small or pests – and look just as fabulous! Faux succulents like our chic potted agave in a modern concrete pot can decorate a side table or act as a centerpiece. Mixed modern arrangements combine artificial cacti and other succulent variations, great for an urban look and feel.
