Don't save paper for the 1st Anniversary!

One of the most important parts of planning the wedding for most girls is the floral work. As brides are veering further and further away from the traditional, big name designers (ie. David Stark) are doing the same. Instead of the classic roses & babies' breath, look toward paper to fulfill all of your dreams. Paper flowers have some distinct advantages over living floral.

1. You can literally choose any color that you want.
2. No chance of wilting, withering or dying as you waltz down the aisle.
3. You can preserve them forever without a formaldehyde case & dry ice.
4. They can be made weeks & weeks in advance (pressure off of the 2 days before!)
5. You can get any kind of flower that you want regardless of the season or location.










The disadvantages, of course, would be the lack of smell that the paper flowers emit, and inability for the paper florals to get wet (see: sog.gee boo-kay). Another surprising disadvantage is that the paper flowers can be more costly than the real ones in some cases.

Either way - definitely something to look out for, and potentially a viable option for the cutting edge bride!
