Artificial flowers have several key advantages: they don't wilt, don't cause allergies, and hold up much better to weather conditions (wind, heat). They are also often more affordable and can be ordered months in advance, which significantly reduces planning stress. The best part: they are reusable and become a beautiful keepsake from your wedding.
It couldn't be simpler! Most kits are designed for quick installation. They come with zip ties or metal clips. Simply position the swag on the arch structure and secure it firmly with the provided attachments. Thanks to the flexible stems, you can then shape the arrangement to give it the perfect form and drape.
Yes, they are perfectly suited for both indoor and outdoor use. Their materials are designed to last. One tip, however: to preserve the vibrancy of the colours over the long term, avoid leaving them in direct, harsh sunlight or heavy rain for extended periods.
