Silk Flower Petals vs. Fresh Flower Petals

What wedding would be complete without an adorable flower girl scattering petals to signal your impending aisle walk?   Traditionally, fresh flower petals have adorned aisle runners and tabletops but today, there are so many alternatives.

Today’s brides are opting for leaves, snowflakes and of course silk flower petals.   Both silk petals and fresh petals have their advantages.    It’s simply a matter of deciding what’s most convenient, economical and aesthetically pleasing for you.   To help you decide, here are the pros of both fresh and silk petals:


Fresh Flower Petals
  • Lovely scent
  • Exquisite detail (photograph well, especially in close-ups)
  • Soft and delicate to the touch
  • Large variety of type and color
  • More luxurious than silk petals
  • Can be preserved (freeze dried)

Silk Flower Petals
  • Look fresh all day (won't wilt or turn brown)
  • Less expensive than fresh petals
  • Non-allergenic
  • Can be delivered weeks ahead of the wedding
  • Don't attract insects
  • Don't require refrigeration
  • Easy to transport
  • Available year-round
  • Can be re-used
  • Won’t stain runner or fabric
