How to Make a Simple Silk Wedding Flower Arrangement
Silk arrangements are generally less expensive than fresh flowers and can be arranged well in advance of the wedding, saving time in the busy days just before the ceremony. Arrangements of a single type of flowers are simple and elegant. Use tall arrangements on the buffet and guest book table. Make short arrangements for the centerpieces, so your guests can see each other across the table.
