Using paper flowers, silk flowers and many other kinds of artificial flowers for decoration is a trend that's quite popular among millennial couples.
Especially in this recycling and green era. Because let's face it, a truckload (or maybe more) of flowers are wasted in a wedding. So, if you want to know how to use faux flowers in decor, read on, watch the photos and take notes!
Entrance gate
If you're opting for a minimalist or a green wedding reception, this could be helpful to you. Using artificial flowers for decoration around the entrance gate just above the arch would give your decor quite a classy touch. You can pick the flowers with coordinated colours with the gate. Like in this one, the combination of white, pink and green looks fabulous with the white gate. This is the kind of wedding decor that has panache written all over it!
