You can have them delivered months before your big day, giving you the chance to make changes, or travel long distances without worrying about your flowers spoiling.

Bride and bridesmaid bouquets, boutonnieres (buttonholes), arbours and table centrepieces are all popular options when it comes to artificial wedding flowers, so it’s a good idea to work out a list of what you think you might need as a starting point.

Next, with a budget in mind, start looking for your prefer supplier, and buyer beware! With an ever-growing presence of knock-off wedding décor website and marketplaces, it can be hard to know what you’ll actually get. So before you hand over your hard-earned cash, ask to view pictures of past work and be sure to read customer reviews so you can choose a reputable florist, saving you time and stress.

All of our artificial wedding flowers are carefully selected by our expert team of florists, not in a factory overseas, so you’re guaranteed the very best tasteful, not tacky, faux blooms.
