Silk Flowers - Adding that Glam Quotient

• Wedding season is here and most people are going
  overboard thinking about what to do and what
  things to buy. The most important part of a
  wedding party is the decoration and every year
  new things come up and people have to think newer
  ways of decorating.
• Flowers too are a pivotal part of any party and
  arranging them aesthetically and in a way that
  would appeal to the guests is equally important.
  Initially, original flora or real flora was used
  extensively. They still are because the beauty
  and fragrance of a bouquet of flowers cannot be
  mimicked by artificial ones.

• But slowly, people have started using artificial
  flora because of obvious benefits. Not only are

  favorite with bulk users and buyers.

• Silk Flowers are now becoming a rage with many
  people. Silk flowers do not necessarily mean that
  the flora are made up of silk of any kind, but
  they are flowers which are made of any artificial
  material like thermocol, organdie paper, velvet
  etc. Silk flowers have been there since a long
  time, even in Ancient Egypt, Papyrus flowers were
  used for decorations. With the passage of time,
  silk flowers have changed in their types and have
  slowly become more prevalent in wedding functions
  or parties of any sorts.

• The reason why they are called silk flowers is
  because most of this artificial flora is made of
  silk. Silk is predominantly the most popular
  material for flowers because it can be easily
  bent and retains its shape for a long time. Now,
  other materials are blended with silk because
  just making silk flowers was proving to be
  expensive for the manufacturers and the buyers.
  Cotton and polyester are some of the materials
  mixed in Silk Flowers.
