Fresh VS. Faux/Silk Floral

Trying to choose between FRESH or FAUX wedding florals?
We've got you!

There are so many pros and cons with each, but the biggest difference is the customization options with faux florals, the amazing aroma with fresh, and the lifespan and care involved for each.

Faux gives you perfect color match, long lifespan (keep it forever) and requires almost no upkeep.
Fresh gives you the amazing smell, the classic fresh look, but does limit you to seasonal availability and natural color hues.

We absolutely love both for different reasons, and ultimately the choice comes down to preference and priorities.

If you don’t mind keeping the fresh florals refrigerated and rushing them to a preservation vendor after the event, fresh might be perfect for you!

If you are prioritizing budget, lifespan or color matching, faux might be the way to go.

When you’re choosing between the two, remember you can always choose BOTH. Many of our clients choose to have all of the decor done if faux, and bridal party arrangements fresh, or vice versa.

Talk to your florist to determine which options fit your priorities best.
