By buying silk roses instead of real flowers you can save a lot of money on your wedding flowers.
There are many advantages to using silk flowers instead of real flowers. Silk flowers today are gorgeous and realistic, making it hard to tell the difference between silk and fresh flowers. Fresh flowers are fragile and can wilt easily, silk flowers are so versatile they can be used anywhere and they wont wilt. With fresh flowers you cant expect to create the perfect color or the color you want if they are out of season. Silk flowers can be dyed any color and are always available. Not to mention silk flowers are a whole lot less expensive than fresh flowers.
If you still have your heart set on having fresh lilies in November then there are some wholesalers who have greenhouses just for this reason. The flowers are going to cost more than if you bought them in season and you may have to place an order way in advance. But for those who have there heart set on out of season fresh flowers this is an option. The cost for out of season fresh flowers can be as much as three times the normal price. This can take a real bite out of your wedding budget. Most wholesalers need at least three months notice in order to fill an order for out of season flowers and they cant always guarantee the colors.

Silk last longer and can be dyed any color while fresh out of season flowers are beautiful and traditional. Wether you decide on fresh out of season flowers or silk flowers both are appropriate for a wedding and both can be equally beautiful. |
