Wedding Bouquets Shift From Real To Fake, As Brides Look For Bigger Bargains

Although the economy is suffering, Afloral.com is preparing for a prosperous 2009 wedding season as brides become more savvy at saving on wedding flowers.

Jamestown, NY (PRWEB) November 6, 2008 -- Despite all of the economic struggles in the world today, Afloral.com is looking forward to a prosperous and exciting 2009 Spring wedding season. As the cost of living continues to soar, brides are being forced to find less expensive alternatives for their wedding. With silk flowers, brides can receive more bang for their buck. At less than a quarter of the price of real flowers, artificial stems are a brilliant way to save money and still have beauty and luxury at your wedding. Also, for a fraction of the cost of a fresh floral bouquet, you can create the same look and no one will be able to tell the difference. For example, the fresh bouquet on the left costs $179.00, where as the silk bouquet on the right costs only $19.99. A savings of $160.00.

Silk flowers offer many other benefits on top of their inexpensive pricing. They are of course, long lasting. This appeals to many brides because they can now keep their bouquets forever. They can be bought and arranged months before any event. You no longer need to worry about the freshness of your flowers.

Variety is another wonderful aspect of artificial flowers. You can purchase pretty much any type of bloom at any time of the year, no matter the season. There is also the option to choose from a wide range of colors and sizes that you couldn't normally get with real flowers.

Last, but certainly not least, silk flowers are allergy free and very easy to maintain. With no watering, no flower preservatives, and no clean-up of fallen petals or leaves, silk flowers are a wonderful way to remain stress-free when it comes to your wedding arrangements.

With the advancements and studies in artificial flowers nowadays, quality silk flowers have been created and designed to look and feel just like the real thing. You can now receive a high quality product at value cost. On top of that, there are now silk flower fragrances available to make your beautiful flowers smell like the real deal. Most popular flowers have their own fragrant sprays available such as roses and peonies, as well as a combination of other scents such as "Spring Garden," "Fresh Greenery," to add to the realism of silk bridal bouquets.

Now that we've covered silk flower benefits, let's discuss floral trends. Some of the most exotic and bright colors coming into trend for spring of 2009 are royal and turquoise blues, bright yellow, vibrant orange, sweet lavender, bold and lime greens, and the most popular, luminous pinks.
