Fresh vs Faux

Fresh, every time! Why?

Because no artificial flower can truly replicate the look, feel - or most importantly - the scent of a fresh bloom.

Okay, I’ll admit it: I’m a little biased. I’ve worked with flowers for many years and I’m incredibly passionate about them. But as a florist, I genuinely believe you can’t recreate the beauty of nature with plastic. Faux flowers lack the texture, scent, movement, and delicate individuality of the real thing.

Fresh Flowers Flow

Fresh flowers move with you as you walk. They’re not identical clones. They vary in size, shape, and shade. Their natural posture and structure give bouquets that effortlessly soft, organic look that’s hard to imitate.

And then there’s the scent…

Have you ever smelt a faux floral? Now picture your wedding space filled with the heady scent of garden roses, peonies, freesia and stocks. Fragrance is powerful as it evokes emotion, sets a mood, and creates memories. Your wedding flowers will be in every photograph; they’ll surround you and your guests all day so why not make that experience as magical and multi-sensory as possible?

Not Just About Cost

Many people opt for artificial flowers thinking they’ll save money but that’s not always the case. High quality faux florals can be surprisingly expensive, and once you factor in styling, hire and arrangement, fresh might not be as out of reach as you think.

If you're considering faux to keep costs down, I encourage you to get quotes for both. Let’s chat about your vision and budget, you might be pleasantly surprised by what we can create within your range.

Other Options? Absolutely

If you're travelling with your flowers, or want to keep them long after the day, there are other beautiful alternatives to faux - like dried flowers. Dried florals can retain scent and colour, add unique texture, and are a wonderful keepsake.

I can also provide recommendations to highly skilled floral preservation artists that will help you keep your fresh flowers forever!

Don’t choose faux just because you think it’s cheaper or easier, let me help you make your floral dreams a reality.
