Flowers are an essential and attention-grabbing element of any wedding or event. They are commonly used in bouquets, boutonnieres, flower arches, and table centerpieces. Floral decisions are one of the first choices that partners make as they need to match the overall theme and color scheme of the special occasion.
Recently, there has been a growing trend towards using faux floral arrangements for weddings and events.
Here are some things to consider when deciding which option is right for you and your special occasion.
