What Could Make Artificial Flowers Such A Good Choice For Your Gibraltar Wedding - Sweet Gibraltar
by Liz Seyi Digital marketing managerBefore we go any
further with this subject, we should probably make one thing clear: there’s
nothing at all wrong with insisting on real flowers for your nuptials!
Indeed, even the
packages we provide for Gibraltar weddings here at Sweet
Gibraltar Weddings can include a bridal bouquet consisting of fresh roses with
green foliage – just one of the many touches that help make our wedding packages so popular among a wide range of couples.
But even if you do
ultimately decide that you want your bridal bouquet to incorporate real rather
than artificial flowers, it is hardly as if the bouquet is likely to represent
the start and end of your wedding flower arrangements.
This is where
artificial flowers may come into play for such things as your centrepieces, the
flower arch, buttonholes, wedding favours, or even for use in your hair.
What are the big
advantages of artificial flowers?
It’s important to
emphasise here that there’s no universal ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ when choosing
whether to go with real or artificial flowers for your wedding. And of course,
they have their respective advantages and disadvantages.
For many brides,
fresh flowers are something they’re pleased to absolutely insist upon, as it’s
hard to deny their natural beauty and irresistible scent.
But artificial flowers
can offer their own very real benefits. And it’s crucial not to fall for
long-out-of-date stereotypes about the ‘tacky’ artificial flowers of
yesteryear, when the best artificial flowers of today are beautifully
convincing in look and feel, in addition to representing great quality and
value.
So, with no further
ado, let’s cycle through some of the key advantages of artificial flowers for
Gibraltar weddings (or indeed, nuptials held basically anywhere):
- They can be an excellent choice for those with allergies
- They can be more affordable than real flowers, while often looking
equally good
- You can keep artificial flowers forever – certainly long after the
wedding celebrations are over
- Good-quality artificial flowers today can be so convincing that
your wedding attendees might not even realise you aren’t using fresh
flowers
- Artificial flowers also travel well, which is another reason why a
lot of people planning Gibraltar weddings and other overseas nuptials
particularly consider them
So, what options are
there for artificial flowers?
Another reason why
it’s such a bad idea to base your perception of artificial flowers on the often
less-than-well-made options of years ago, is because there is such a wealth of
excellent-quality possibilities for artificial flowers on the market these
days.
Those include the
likes of:
- ‘Silk’ flowers, which now tend to be made from nylon or polyester fabrics, rather
than actual silk. Nonetheless, there’s practically no limit to the
colours, sizes and shapes you can choose for such flowers, and they
visually look very close to the ‘real thing’
- Foam flowers, which – although they’re the cheapest type of artificial flower –
unfortunately aren’t very realistic in appearance. They’re therefore best
suited to use as fillers in a much larger bouquet
- Paper flowers. These artificial flowers have the obvious downside of not exactly
being ones you will want to risk getting wet if there’s a chance of rain
at your nuptials. But with rain not exactly being a huge problem in
Gibraltar – especially at the height of summer – you might be attracted to
these artificial flowers as an environmentally friendly option
- Latex flowers, which are particularly convincing due to how they feel when
someone touches them; there’s a good reason why they are known as ‘real
touch’ flowers. Latex flowers are also available in different thicknesses,
which will further help you to create a realistic look and feel, wherever
you may choose to use them on your wedding day

There you go – a
quick guide to why and how artificial flowers could play a part in your own

extent – including in your bouquet – their artificial counterparts certainly
