Silk Wedding Flowers
When brides choose their wedding flowers, one question they must ask themselves is: do I want real flowers, or silk?
Traditional brides always go for real flowers. Their delicate beauty can never be duplicated by artificial flowers.

Scent is often associated with feelings or memories and a wedding is an emotional and memorable experience. And that is where real flowers score over silk ones.

Beautifully arranged and fragrant flowers can brighten up a person's day. World over, flowers have been in use since ancient times to decorate palaces and homes, in rituals, during spring dances, as a part of weddings, and more.
Flowers are not selected randomly, over the years they have developed meanings. For example, the acacia means concealed love, chaste love or beauty; the aster symbolizes both love and daintiness; a pink carnation means says I will never forget you; while the yellow says rejection or disappointment; the tulip says you have sunshine in your smile.
Then of course there are "birthday" flowers. Those born in February have the primrose and violet as birth flowers; while the larkspur and water lily are birth flowers for those born in July; and the holly, narcissus, and poinsettia are flowers for birthdays...
