The worst aspect about purchasing genuine bridal flowers is that they all go to trash after the occasion. To be sure, you could donate them to a nursing home to brighten someone's day. That, though, is another chore on your to-do list. However, if you choose synthetic flowers, you will be able to take them home with you. You can use them in a vase for decoration or you can put them in a flower pot for next year's garden. The best part about real wedding flowers is that they will never wilt or die. If you want to save some money but still have beautiful flowers at your wedding, consider using fake ones. They look so realistic that few people will know the difference. If you do choose to purchase real wedding flowers, make sure to buy from a reputable company. Look for businesses that offer discounts for repeat customers or sell their left over stock. Also, ask them how they dispose of flowers after the event is over. Some may give them to charity while others may try to sell them as compost or fertilizer. There you have it! Real wedding flowers will eventually decay after the ceremony while plastic ones will still look gorgeous even years later.
