Have you ever felt conflicted between the beauty of fresh flowers and the convenience of artificial ones for your wedding? We definitely experienced that! Skylar Events has assisted many couples in the UAE in addressing this floral choice, so let me guide you through the essential factors that could help you find the ideal solution.
1. Longevity & Durability
While fresh flowers offer stunning beauty, they can wilt in the UAE’s heat, often before your reception even starts. On the other hand, faux flowers will maintain their pristine appearance from your first look photos all the way to your last dance. This can be a significant advantage for outdoor ceremonies in our climate.
2. Budget Realities
Fresh flower arrangements typically come with a price tag that is 20-30% higher than their artificial alternatives, but the cost difference decreases when opting for luxury silk varieties.
3. The Sensory Experience
There’s nothing like the delightful scent of fresh roses or jasmine filling your venue. For numerous couples, this organic aroma sets a mood that synthetic arrangements cannot imitate.
4. Allergy Considerations
Are you or your guests affected by pollen allergies? Artificial flowers provide a sneeze-free event—something I’ve witnessed bring great comfort to many couples.
5. Capturing Stunning Images
Today’s high-quality artificial flowers from retailers such as Ling’s Moment or Afloral look fantastic in photos. Most wedding attendees (and even photographers!) often struggle to distinguish them in your album.
6. The Ideal Blend
Why not combine the two options? Think about using fresh flowers for your bouquet and centerpieces, while opting for premium silk flowers for decorative arches or areas that may be exposed to heat.
What is your vision for wedding flowers? No matter what you decide, both choices can help create wonderful memories on your special day with the assistance of Skylar Events!
