Silk Flower Wedding Bouquets

You may not know this, but the silk floral industry has come a long way since the days of the fake and plastic looking artificial flowers. Brides can now buy absolutely beautiful silk wedding bouquets that appear very much like real flowers in most every way. Upgrades to the basic silk variety are known by names like natural touch, soft touch or real touch. These flowers even have the feel of natural flower petals.

If you remember the "artificial flowers" that were available years ago, modern silk flowers and their cousins, used in silk flower wedding bouquets, are much more realistic. Silk flower bouquets assembled by professionals are typically also of a better quality than what you would find in your neighborhood craft store.

Silk wedding bouquets are available in all the styles of natural bouquets. Holding a traditional round or a cascading bridal bouquet in front or long floral sprays in the crook of your arm are all possibilities for brides.

And you don't need to be either underwhelmed or overwhelmed by your flowers, as silk bouquets come in many sizes. Size your bouquet depending on the embellishments or simplicity of your wedding dress.

So many types of flowers are available. The silk bridal flower collection will have stargazers, orchids, roses, calla lilies, baby's breath, and other popular flowers in a wide variety of colors, from which you can choose. Or you can custom design the bouquet arrangement that you want for your wedding. Many types of natural looking greenery will fill out your bouquet.

The formality and season of your wedding, your personal taste and whether it is held indoors or outdoors are all factors that will affect the flowers, colors, and style of the bouquet you select.

Silk bouquet arrangers may wrap your stems with satin ribbon in the color of your choice or in traditional white or ivory. Ribbons may be either French braided or wound in a spiral or crisscrossed ballet-style. Plus, you may request that the stems are showing or are totally covered by the ribbon. So, your bouquet will be created with all the love and tenderness of a florist creating a natural flower bouquet.

Of course the bride will have a beautiful bouquet. Yet the rest of the wedding party can have beautiful and affordable silk bouquets, boutonnieres, and corsages too. Consider:

Bridesmaids - Bouquets for the bridesmaids can complement or be a smaller version of the bride's bouquet. Their bouquets may also coordinate with their own gowns.
The Gentlemen - Silk flower boutonnieres for the gentlemen in the wedding party will look quite spiffy
Mothers and Grandmothers - Corsages in floral silk, for the mothers and grandmothers of the bride and groom will make them feel honored and special.

Below, I've shown a few packages that have a bouquet for the bride as well as appropriate silk flowers for the rest of the wedding party.

Yes, your silk wedding bouquet can be ordered along with a toss bouquet. This bouquet is for the bride to throw during the wedding to all the single women attending the wedding, according to custom. This woman who catches the bouquet is then supposed to be the next girl to get married.

Some companies will give you a free toss bouquet if your silk flower order value is high enough. Or you can order a separate bouquet to toss.

If you see a silk bridal bouquet here or in a catalog that you just love, then order it.

Otherwise, if you are set on a custom designed bouquet, then discuss your palette and wedding theme, possible selection and arrangement of flowers as well as the use of "bling", with your floral consultant. They will offer tips as to what may be appropriate and look the best in your bouquet based on your wedding theme, dress, colors and budget.

Looking at many photographs of bouquets will help you narrow down the type of bouquet that you desire. If there is a similar style in the catalog or repertoire of the silk bouquet design company, your design consultant will usually be happy to create your perfect bouquet from that style or from a mere concept. In either case, your bouquet will be created by hand, with love, just for you.
