Artificial Flower Types & Why Artificial flowers are more sustainable?
Silk Flowers: Typically, silk flowers are fashioned from a different kind of fabric, like polyester. They're a popular option because they're simple to combine with actual flowers.
Floral Polymers: Polymer wedding flowers, also known as real touch flowers, are the most similar to actual petals in terms of appearance and texture. But due to its high quality, this imitation wedding flower will cost the most of all of them.
Floral Foam: One of the more adaptable and affordable possibilities are foam flowers, which are made of thin, colourful foam petals attached around a polystyrene core.
Paper Flowers: Paper materials are cut and fashioned into the shape of flowers to create paper flowers. If you aren't making these flowers yourself, they could cost you more because they demand a certain skill set.
Flowers Covered in Wax: Wax-coated flowers are an additional realistic-looking option for high-quality artificial flowers.
Why Artificial flowers are more sustainable?
From the field to your bouquet, fresh flowers go through a protracted and difficult procedure sometimes to ensure vivid colours, imported flowers are typically treated with insecticides or even spray painted.
To prevent withering, fresh flowers must be refrigerated while being transported and stored consuming more energy.
Artificial flowers don't require refrigeration and don't contain any chemicals.
A lot of florists use floral foam, harsh cleaning agents, and other discarded by products.
Flowers naturally decompose and won't be particularly wasteful if composted correctly, however most fresh flowers and foliage wind up in clingy garbage bags, where the organic waste cannot get enough oxygen to decompose and ends up in landfill.
In conclusion, while not suitable for all situations, faux flowers are something to consider. The best part is that you get to choose and set your own price.
FFF TIP: The cost of more realistic-looking synthetic wedding flowers is higher!!!!
