Are the flowers you're dreaming of for your wedding going to be out of season when you want them, or just completely out of your budget?
Let me say first, I have so much love and respect for live flower traditional florists. They are some of the hardest working people in the wedding industry, and their artistry deserves to be recognised and valued.
This episode is not about choosing a side between real flowers and faux flowers.
But it is about the couples who’ve found a sweet spot between fresh and faux that gave them the look, the practicality, the budget, and the environmental impact that worked for them.
You'll hear:
the surprising truth about how the eco footprint of high quality faux flowers actually compares to fresh,
why the difference in weight of a faux vs real flower stem isn't quite as simple as you'd assume,
and the questions you need to ask that could protect you from a nasty surprise on the day.
Plus what actually happens to those faux flowers once your wedding is over and the affordability question that everybody wants to know the answer to.
