FAUX FLORALS TO HIRE

Peony has partnered with Jade from Shropshire Events to develop a range of wedding floral arrangements to hire for your special day. With a range to suit any theme, these stunning faux floral designs will add a wow factor to your ceremony, wedding, breakfast, or after-party.

With many florists booked up months in advance and the cost of fresh flowers increasing with the seasons, picking your perfect flowers might be more challenging than you think.

However, there is another way: faux flowers. Not convinced that faux will offer you the look you have been dreaming of? Well, read on as we provide 5 amazing reasons to choose faux over fresh.

1) You can organise and choose your exact flowers earlier

While you can find a florist, see examples of their work, and look at the type of roses or peonies, etc., that you would like, you will only get to see your actual wedding flowers once they arrive two to three days before your wedding.

With our wedding arrangements, you can pick every flower and piece of foliage many months in advance. If you have a particular shade of pink or white in mind, you can view their entire collection of flowers and find the exact colours to match your colour scheme.

2) You do not have to worry about what season you're getting married in and whether your flowers will be available

A summer wedding is perfect for many of our favourite flowers, as they are in season and readily available. But this is not the case if you're having a spring or winter wedding. If you want your bouquet or aisle flowers to include roses, and you're getting married in November, your florist will have to import them from South America or Africa. Not only will your flowers have a larger carbon footprint, but they will also be far more expensive to source.

If you choose faux, your florist will have an ample supply of roses, orchids, hydrangeas, and others in many colours, regardless of the season. Your flowers will also cost you the same in winter as they would at the height of summer - perfect if you are trying to keep to a strict floral budget!

3) Faux flowers are the perfect choice for destination weddings

If you are getting married abroad, either in Europe or further afield, then you can easily cross "organise wedding bouquet and bridesmaid flowers" off your list by choosing faux. Faux flowers pack well so they can be added to your suitcase alongside your wedding outfit and accessories. Taking your bouquet with you also ensures that you are not disappointed if the wedding flowers you organised by email turn out not to look as good in reality as they did in the photographs.

4) Our Faux flowers are incredibly realistic

One of the most common questions we are asked here at Peony Faux Flowers is whether our flowers look as good as the real thing. Often this is by people who have never physically seen our flowers before, but when they do, they soon realise just how botanically correct they are. We have worked closely with our suppliers to create exact copies of flowers both in our own gardens and of all the florists' favourite flowers. Many of our flowers, especially our roses, have real-to-the-touch petals to make them even more realistic.
