Silk Wedding Flowers: The Ultimate Guide
You simply can’t have a wedding without flowers. From the bridal bouquet to centerpieces at the reception, flowers play a massive part in your big day. Not only do they bring color and texture to a wedding celebration, but they’re also a chance for a couple to let their personality shine through their choice of blooms.
Every wedding has flowers, from beautiful hydrangeas to show-stopping peonies, but what if you could keep your arrangements for life, instead of just your wedding day? High quality silk flowers are just as beautiful as the real thing, and they’ll live on forever.

Why choose silk flowers?
Why go with silk? The real question is why not?
First of all, they’re more sustainable. Silk flowers can be reused and will look fresh forever, unlike living blooms which will last a week at best. You’ll be able to keep a bouquet or table centerpiece for years to come, as a special memory of your wedding.
While there are different artificial versions of flowers, silk flowers look real. We’re not talking about fake flowers from the dollar store, here. These silk flowers are beautifully-crafted, delicate, and look just like the real thing. You also know exactly what you’re getting before the big day –– no last-minute surprises! They’re also always in season, so you don’t have to worry about not finding your favorite blooms.
Flowers can be one of the most significant expenses on a wedding day, so make sure you’re considering all available options. Silk flowers can also be more cost-effective, especially if you want to go all-out with your florals on the big day.
No-one will be able to tell the difference, but you’ll get to keep them forever. What’s not to love?
The best silk wedding flowers
Once you’ve decided on silk flowers, you have endless options. We have a wide variety of silk flowers to choose from. Our catalog includes everything from popular wedding flowers like peonies, roses, ranunculus, and hydrangeas, to artificial foliage options like eucalyptus, ivy, boxwood, and ferns.
It’s all about choosing what represents you and your partner. Let’s go through some of your best options.
Silk roses
Of course, roses are a classic wedding choice.
Red roses are synonymous with celebrating the joy and passion of love, so red silk roses are perfect if you’re going for a more traditional wedding decor theme.
Silk roses, just like their living counterparts, come in a huge variety of species and colors, from white and cream to vivid blue and pink. They’re a super-versatile flower, that looks stunning on its own or incorporated with other blooms into bridal bouquets and centerpieces. Loose rose petals are another excellent wedding decor choice, scattered down the ceremony aisle or on reception tables.
Silk peonies
Peonies represent love, honor, happiness, and beauty. Can you think of a more fitting flower for a wedding?
A bouquet of silk peonies is a classic choice for a bridal bouquet, whether you go for all-white, all-pink, or a mix of different colors. For a rehearsal dinner or vintage wedding theme, single silk peony stems look great in glass bud vases on a less formal tablescape.
Silk orchids
If you want to make a statement, but aren’t keen on going over the top with massive floral displays, silk orchids are the answer. They’re visually striking enough to look good on their own, rather than paired with other blooms in an arrangement.
They’re simple yet elegant, and, again, can be found in a range of colors. White silk orchids are a classic wedding choice or go bold with bright blue silk orchids placed throughout your reception venue. Orchid blooms come in a variety of shapes, so you can really get creative with them.
Silk hydrangeas
Hydrangeas are the perfect flower to include in bouquets and arrangements, thanks to their large, ball-like structure. Our blue silk hydrangeas are the most common color, though we carry everything from white to pink and purple.
Why not get creative with your hydrangea usage? Wrap pink silk hydrangea stems around a wire molded into the shape of a heart or the couples’ initials for a memorable accent piece.
Silk magnolias
For brides and grooms looking for a less-common flower option, magnolias are perfect. They’re not a traditional choice for weddings, but are simultaneously elegant and dramatic, and will definitely be memorable.
A few branches of this white magnolia spray are a great place to start. A tall presence on reception tables, placed it in a tall vase –– either on its own or paired with faux leafy magnolia branches for a realistic look.
A magnolia leaf garland dotted with pretty silk magnolia flowers looks stunning used as a table runner. Let it run down the center, and even down to the floor, on long wedding reception tables. It’s a great option for adding greenery and blooms to the decor without using vases that could end up adding to your costs.
Silk tropicals
Planning a beach wedding, destination ceremony, or a celebration in the middle of summer? Tropical silk tropicals are the best way to embrace that warm weather vibe and tie the wedding theme together.
Use bright, eccentric flowers – like this silk red Peruvian lily – as the main focus for the floral arrangements, built out with smaller neutral blooms and greenery. Palm fronds and monstera leaves are ideal choices if you need somewhere to start, and a red ginger spray makes for an eye-catching accent.
Silk frangipanis are an obvious choice for a beachside wedding. Incorporate them into the bride’s bouquet and into flower crowns for the bridal party. When using silk tropicals, it’s all about having fun and getting creative!
