Fresh flowers are a bit of a gamble, if you think about it. Order them a week in advance, hope the weather holds, and there's still a good chance they look slightly tired by the time the last function rolls around. Petals curl, colors dull, and nobody wants a wedding album where the flower arch looks fresher on day one than it does on day three.

That's really the whole reason artificial flowers for wedding decoration have quietly become the default choice instead of the backup plan. It's not that fresh flowers stopped being beautiful — it's that they stopped being practical for how long and elaborate celebrations have become, especially once wedding decoration props need to survive multiple functions without a single petal looking out of place.
