The Best Artificial Wedding Flowers to Grab When you Hear the Wedding Bells Ring!

A very important friend of ours is getting hitched this July!

And you could guess what this means: hours of choosing and omitting, days of nervous and thoughtful planning and we have only a couple of months to do these. It is on the part of the groom to select the flowers and that is when they bring in decorating with the best artificial wedding flowers, giving rise to the great debate: are artificial flowers worth it?

In this article, we will present our top 11 artificial flowers; show you how the versatile and durable use of artificial flowers can surpass the cost of real, less durable flowers; the types of artificial flowers like cuttings, drop-ins and picks; teach you how to make a bouquet and of course, give you the best reasons to buy artificial flowers for your wedding.

As you know, the important part of any wedding is the photos that you’ll be clicking and the memories you will want to look back to after years. In order to help you create the perfect photo booth, and as an essential part of the flower decor, we bring the idea of wedding arches. The floral arches are made with a combination of dried grass and textured flowers to create an arch-like shape on a steel or wooden structure to give you the perfect photo moment! Let’s look at some of these.

Top 05 Product’s Review on the Best Fake Flowers for Wedding

A collection of the best fake flowers for wedding decor has been shown below. As you will see, all these are from Ling’s Moment because needless to say, they make the best ones!

Ling’s moment Dusty Rose Arch Decor with Sheer Drape (Set of 3)

This floral arrangement from Ling’s will be the first one to impress amidst all the artificial flower booths that you can set up in your venue. With a combination of burgundy, creamy white, and dusty pink roses, peonies, and dahlias, they can add sophistication only the viewers can decide for.

You will find that the set is called the Dusty Rose set, but has other colors too, making a beautiful backdrop of toned down and impactful colors.

And there are not just flowers, it has assorted greeneries in the middle of the floral decoration too.

A light, sheer, blush pink drape is attached on the base along with these flowers. The base itself is flexible, so you can bend and twist it to your liking.

Pros

• Looks well made and expensive.
• Full flowers with perfect colors.
• Tie-ins add the extra tough on the arch.
• Great for outdoor weddings.

Cons

• Flowers may come bent due to packaging.

Ling’s moment Blush and Cream Wedding Ceremony Arch Decoration

Compared to the Ling’s Dusty Rose Set of 3 that we just discussed seconds back, this one is the exact opposite. As you saw, the colors on the flowers that we previously had included burgundy, cream, and white; while the drape was blushed pink. In this one, we have the burgundy and cream mesh drape and blush pink and cream flowers!

You get something more too. That is, a set of 6 premade floral arrangements with lanterns that can act as tabletop centrepieces! These lanterns can add a rustic touch to your outdoor wedding!

When it comes to the flowers, we have the same realistic artificial foam roses as the Dusty Rose one, avalanche roses and rosebuds as well as some eucalyptus and ruscus greenery.

Pros

• Can decorate any standard arch easily.
• Ribbon ties for easy hanging.
• Table centrepieces as lanterns add a rustic touch.

Cons

• Needs to be carefully unpacked to prevent damage.

Ling’s moment Timeless Ivory Artificial Wedding Arch Flowers Kit (Pack of 5)

Here is another one from Ling’s that has a connection to both the Ling’s Dusty Rose set as well as the Blush and Cream set.

Like the Dusty Rose had tie-in flowers, so you can add a nicer touch to the sides of the base instead of leaving them empty.

And like the Blush and Cream one, it has lighter colors of flowers. You get a collection of white roses, rosebuds, some hybrid tea roses, dahlias, and of course eucalyptus greenery.

But compared to them both, it does not have separate color palettes for the drape and the flowers. Instead, the drape is ivory white here, against the pearl white of the flowers and the greens of the leaves. Adding to this, the drapery of the arch is different too.

Pros

• A great choice for white-themed wedding decor.
• Can be used as backdrop, archway, or table pillar decor.
• A lifelike arrangement that looks real.

Cons

• Not very colorful.

Ling’s moment Sunflower Artificial Wedding Arch Flowers Kit (Pack of 3)

Were you looking for something white that also had a dash of colors in your wedding arch? Then this one is the perfect choice. Compared to the nearly all-white decoration of the Timeless Ivory by Ling’s, this one has a touch of bright, sunny yellow too!

Moreover, this one gives you a set of tie-in flowers that can be used on either side of the flexible base or arch. The only difference is that you do not use them on the middle of the arch base like you did before, but instead, on the top corners.

Since it is branded as one large corner piece and one tie back, you could technically use one in the middle of any of the sides, but it looks better with the top corner floral decor.

In the flowers, you get a combination of white and yellow roses and sunflowers and greeneries, topped by daisies and tea roses.

Pros

• Designed on a flexible base that can be suited to use.
• Easy to hand for the zip ties.
• Looks beautiful without wilting throughout the day.

Cons

• Flowers may need kneading out.

Ling’s moment Burgundy garlands Wedding Arch Flowers

This one from Ling’s is for those of you who were looking for something that did not come with a drape. Compared to all the ones mentioned above, it does not come with any form of sheer or semi-sheer drapes and swags. This is only a floral garland on a flexible base.

If drapes are too stuffy for you, you can use this one for your outdoor wedding decor. But what comes with it and is it good enough?

Just like Ling’s Dusty Rose, it has a collection of burgundy and dusty pink roses, with a hint of golden rosebuds. You also get eucalyptus, ferns, and Ruscus here, although the thickness of the foliage is light here.

For a budget-friendly design that could be used anywhere between table centre decor and photobooth or arch decor, this is a reasonable bet.

Pros

• A great alternative to expensive fresh flowers.
• Handmade flowers that look lifelike.
• Versatile garlands that can be used for table arrangements to aisle decoration.

Cons

• Not as full as the previous options.
• Includes garland only.

Compared to both IFFO Bridal Bouquets and Ling’s Moment Bouquets, these are feather-light, as the bouquets are not even a pound! You heard it, this is the most lightweight bouquet of the lot on the list today.

What you get in the bouquet is a combination of pink, peach, and white roses, peonies, and dahlia. You also get tiny succulents with the bunch and rhinestones to top up the bouquet of your dreams!

So this one is for the bride that likes shades of pastel on the bouquet. If your wedding is in a sunny temperature, near the river, by the beach or simply focuses on pastel and cool tones, this will look exceptionally good.

Types of Artificial Wedding Flowers

The Best Artificial Wedding Flowers are not just flowers. There are types of them that you can choose from. The most basic type is that they can be either handmade or factory-made. While handmade ones are each unique, factory ones are consistent. But the latter is more expensive than the handmade ones.

Depending on their shapes and sizes, artificial flowers used in the wedding can also be of the following types:

Cutting

The bouquets are most of these kinds. You’ll see that these have the shortest stems as the main focus lies in the flowers. They have that fresh-cut look that garden flowers are popular for. They are realistic and may or may not have a scent. You’ll find them the most convenient.

Drop-Ins

Some bouquets may also have the drop-in built. Here, they are single-stemmed flowers, clustered and tied with twine or a ribbon; the latter you can see hanging from the lower end of the bouquet. These are tall floral arrangements that can be used in tall vases around the corners for decor.

Picks

The speciality of picks is that they almost always have a single kind of flower. However, they have multiple stem sizes. Some floral picks even contain berries, pines and feathers. 

Again depending on the material and technique of making these flowers, they are of the following types:

Silk

Silk is the most common type of material in the most realistic fake flowers. Quite a lot of fake flowers are made of polyester or cotton or other fabrics, but nothing quite does it like silk. It has a smooth and clean texture that feels perfect to touch, Just in case any guests want to!

Leather

Flowers can be made of leather too. The reason for using leather in the flower is because it makes the construction really tough and is good for destination weddings where you have to pack them in the suitcase for a long time. At the same time, it can be made soft and gorgeous to give a full look to the flowers.

How to Make the Perfect Wedding Bouquet with Fake Flowers

The best fake flowers for weddings need not be the ones purchased straight from the market. They can be the ones that you make by yourself, at your own comfort and liking. So how will you make a wedding bouquet using artificial flowers? Let’s see.

What you will need for this includes artificial flowers of your choice, flower wires, wire cutters, birch barks, twine, pins, tape and a glue gun.

Now you will need to follow these steps:

1. First, you will need to prepare the stems. Use your wire cutter and start cutting the lower leaves on the stem, leaving one or two at the top. Now tape flower wires on the bottom halves of the floral stems and extend its length. This length is useful whether you want an elongated bouquet or one that is round (where the wires need to be winded around).
2. Now create the base of the bouquet on these floral stems. Collect flowers of your choice: peonies, roses, lamb’s ear, chrysanthemum, calla lilies, and whatever suits you. GAther them around the floral stems.
3. Keep on adding flowers and occasionally eucalyptus, ferns and other foliages. Decide on the fullness and width that you want. Pay attention to the weight too.
4. Now using floral tape, wrap the lower end of the potential bouquet and cut off the excess from the stem. Use a glue gun to secure the wrapping.
5. Now on both ends of the floral tape, attach rounds of twine. This will not only securely tie the flowers in, but also bring an earthly touch to the flowers.
6. Now decorate with additional rhinestones as you like and you’re done!

Reasons for Buying the Best Fake Flowers for Wedding

Flowers are an important part of any wedding, be it in winter or summer. But decorating them with flowers that will not only last you more than the occasion and that will be easy on the wallet and at the same time, look as if they were real, where else will you find this beautiful combination?

Cost-Effective

Getting real flowers in the venue can mean a lot of costs. Not only do you need to buy flowers but also keep them fresh. So there is the cost of purchasing these flowers and maintaining them till the end of the wedding day. And about getting off-season flowers? You can only imagine, if not you are willing to pay thousands of dollars!

What’s more, just some flowers here and there won’t look good. So we are talking about a good amount of furnishing with flowers. All of these will not happen if you get artificial flowers.

Of course, you need to pay for these too, but not as much as the real ones. They do not wither or wilt, or suffer when you need to plan for a destination wedding. Since they need absolutely zero maintenance, there is no cost of maintenance for them till the end of the wedding. You can buy them months before the actual event.

And getting seasonal or off-season flowers are simple too. As no one is actually growing those rare flowers, you can go for pink sunflowers or black roses when you pick artificial ones.

Durable

Artificial flowers are more preferable as they are long-lasting. You do not need to worry about keeping them fresh throughout the day. You just have to hang them or place them in the desired places, and that will do the job. Even months after the wedding ends, and maybe years, they will remain as/is, except for dust accumulation that can be cleaned easily.

But this is surely better than real flowers that die the hour you stop paying attention to and caring for them.

Multipurpose

In this case, artificial flowers are an absolute winner. Suppose you bought a garland for the photo booth, you can trace it along with the wedding lunch table or swirl it around the table posts. Again, suppose, you got two bouquets because you were confused about which one you would pick. You can use anyone from the two and use the other one as a table centrepiece.

Even the tie-in flowers can be removed from the arches and placed on the back of chairs.

While this could also be potentially done with real flowers, switching their position from time to time will cause them to wither, as they cant be bent or twisted to suit the need of the decor easily.

Versatile for Occasions

Since they are durable, since they are multipurpose, artificial flowers can deliver utility to you months after the wedding. If you are done with the wedding, you can use the decorative pieces for your birthdays, housewarming decor, thanksgiving, baby shower and so many other celebrations! This would have never been possible with real flowers.

FAQs

What’s the trick to making faux florals that look so realistic like original flowers?

The trick lies in the manufacturer’s hands. Using poor quality fabrics, too many jewelry pieces and inattentive construction will cause any faux floral to look what they truly are: artificial. But using high-quality fabrics and natural tones and beauty will always make them look real. 

Can We Use Artificial Flowers Instead of Real Ones in any wedding?

Surely. Artificial flowers that are made well can replace any real ones in your wedding.

Is it ok to use artificial flowers for weddings?

It is your wedding and nobody decides the decor other than you! So if you want to put on artificial flowers, it is perfectly alright to use artificial flowers at the wedding.

Why are artificial flowers so expensive?

Not all artificial flowers are expensive. But if you need to get the best fake flowers for a wedding, you will have to pay the price. It can range from less than a hundred to a thousand dollars, so you really need not worry about them being too expensive. And if you want premium silk construction and the perfect replica of natural flowers, you will need to pay high prices.

What are the best tips to decorate the wedding hall with artificial flowers?

You can decorate the wedding hall entrance with arches, a table with lanterns, and other centrepieces and use swags for the photo booth. Bouquets and sheaths from place to place would be good ways to decorate too. 

Final Words

And we are finally nearing the end of the Best Artificial Wedding Flowers! What will be our top selection then? The Abbie Home Bride Bouquets-Purple/Pink obviously. Not a single complaint by the users of it in their own weddings, except that this is artificial!
