Now i know what your thinking and if you read on I'll tell you how to get your dream wedding décor at a price that is much less than what you would pay for real flowers and your guests will never know the difference.

Artificial plants and flowers are more realistic than ever before because of the technology that's used in making them. Most silk flowers are made from material with such high thread count and quality of craftsmanship that you almost have to touch them to tell if they're fake. Now many manufacturers are coming out with fresh touch or real touch lines of artificials where not only do they look real but they will also feel real. They're made from the same fabric that normal artificial flowers are made from however these real touch versions are coated with a material that makes them feel real to the touch. Now these are slightly more expensive than traditional silks but still much less expensive than real flowers and plants. Open your mind to silk flowers for your wedding and go ahead and look at some samples, you'll be pleasantly surprised at the quality and selection available on the market.

Many flower bouquets, like the orchids, are made from a coated fabric and will even feel like the real thing. The only thing missing is the smell of fresh flowers, but wait, now there's a way to actually makes them smell like fresh flowers. By using essential oils you can make them smell just like the real thing. Essential oils have been around for a while but technology has made it so the smell mimics nature to a "T". Just spray it on your artificial flowers and voila, you have the all the bells and whistles that real flowers have at about half the cost.

So why not start your journey together the right way by saving those memories forever because with silks you won't have to worry about the bouquets dying or wilting in the sun. This also goes for the table centerpieces at the reception and the trees that decorate the hall where your reception is being hosted. This allows you to move the trees, plants and flowers to your new place where you'll start your life. It can also remind you of that special day every time you look at them for years to come. This is becoming more and more popular as the times go by due to the beauty and longevity of the flowers, and it doesn't hurt that they're much less expensive and stressful than their real counterparts. Best of all if you see something you like in the real flower version then it can always be put together in an artificial version. In some cases it can be done without a professional designer because artificial flowers are easier to work with than their real counterparts. You can start on them earlier because they won't die or wilt on you.
