“The scented silk flower is also being used nowadays in place of fresh flowers as they are a little more affordable and are quite practical. Silk flowers have longevity and can be kept as a memory of the wedding day. You don’t have to worry about wilting of the flowers due to heat during the wedding; however, they do not feel like real flowers.
