An Artificial Wedding Flower

What is an artificial wedding flower? There are many types of artificial flowers that are used for weddings, the most common are mulberry paper flowers, crepe paper flowers, and silk flowers.

Most mulberry paper flowers are handmade and the mulberry paper is also handmade. This is a paper that is also eco-friendly, because the mulberry trees are not harmed. The only part of the tree that is used is the bark and the way the bark is striped off does not hurt the tree itself. When the bark is striped from the tree it grows back in about twelve months and can be harvested again at that time.

Also there are no chemicals added to the pulp when it is made into the paper and even the dyes are natural. This is one of the most natural of the artificial flowers for weddings.

They can be found on the Internet on websites that deal with mulberry paper flowers; you can find them as just single flowers to make your own bouquets and other flowers for the wedding ceremony and also to decorate the reception area or you may find them already made up in bouquets, corsages, boutonnieres, centerpieces, or any type of flower that you will need for your wedding.

Then there are crepe paper flowers, which are somewhat eco-friendly too because most of the flower is recyclable or can be reused for other weddings, kept as keepsakes, or reused to decorate your home.

And you can make these artificial flowers, which is something you can be proud of for years to come as you made your own wedding decorations. This is even a great thing to get your family and friends involved in and they can also say they helped with your wedding day. You can find books that are on the Internet that have patterns and detailed instructions on how to make paper flowers. Some sites even sell the crepe paper to make these beautiful artificial wedding flower designs.

Another type of artificial flower is the silk flower you can usually purchase these flowers individually at super centers, craft stores, some floral shops, and there are several websites on the Internet and you can get these already made up in your bouquets, centerpieces, etc.

Whatever artificial wedding flower you choose will not wilt or die before the ceremony like the real thing will and they can also be kept as mementos of your wonderful wedding day.

So before you choose the type of flowers you are going to use for your wedding check out your artificial wedding flower arrangements and flowers along with the real thing and consider that the real ones only last a short time and the artificial ones can be used again in someone else's wedding or even in your home décor or even kept as a special reminder of that special day.
