The Case For Dried Flowers At Your Wedding

 

So, before I got married I didn't realise that a flowers budget was even a thing!  Then when I did realise that it was a thing, as much as I love flowers I wasn't willing to have a significant budget in my Scottish Glencoe elopement. 

However, I did definitely want a bouquet - so I looked for dried alternatives.  I found my lovely autumn bouquet through Artisan Dried Flowers. I loved the mix of Autumnal flowers, which included sunflowers, harvest scents and even some pheasant feathers.  It fitted in perfectly with the orange and gold colours of Glencoe!

The best thing about dried flowers is that you get them a couple of weeks in advance and they last forever, almost!  It was good to have the reassurance that my bouquet and Matt's buttonhole arrived and was intact before the wedding itself. 

And now, post-wedding I keep my bouquet on top of my wardrobe and I know it'll last years, as long as I look after it.
