How to Mix them for Weddings


Artificial flowers have come a long way, appearing more natural than ever before. High-quality faux blooms can easily trick guests into thinking they're real. Many event planners successfully combine real and artificial flowers to create breathtaking centerpieces, garlands, and backdrops. Here are four essential tips for mixing real and faux blooms effectively:

  1. Embrace Imperfections In nature, no two flowers are identical, which adds to their charm. When selecting artificial flowers, we opt for florals with subtle color and size variations. Incorporating blooms at different stages of their lifecycle—like roses in bud and full bloom—will enhance the authenticity of your arrangements. Silk flowers, crafted from high-quality materials, often blend more seamlessly with fresh blooms. Their bendable stems and customizable leaves allow for a natural look.


  2. Choose Natural Colors While artificial flowers come in every color imaginable, opting for hues inspired by nature helps maintain a cohesive look. Bright, neon shades can easily stand out and appear artificial. Instead, we select flowers that reflect natural tones. For example, in a purple-themed wedding, use purple hydrangeas alongside more muted floral accents to create a harmonious palette.


  3. Clean Faux Flowers Materials like silk, nylon, and latex used in artificial flowers can attract dust. To ensure they look their best alongside real flowers, we clean our faux blooms before the event. A simple dusting with a soft cloth makes a significant difference. Regular maintenance, such as monthly cleaning and moisture-free storage, will keep your artificial flowers in prime condition. Check for any damaged parts and trim as necessary for a polished finish.


  4. Choose the Right Display The right vase can elevate both real and artificial flowers, whether you prefer sleek gold cylinders or elegant crystal options. We fill oblong or cube vases with a mix of blooms for a stunning centerpiece. For a simple yet effective look, line tables with bud vases, each containing two or three flowers. Larger arrangements may require sturdier bases like garden urns or big planters. When blending flowers for bouquets or boutonnieres, we use a delicate satin ribbon or natural twine to tie everything together.
