How to Make Silk Flower Decorations

Buying silk flowers instead of real flowers is an ideal way to save money on a wedding. Making your own silk flower decorations cuts the expense of a wedding, and they actually look just as beautiful. Another benefit of silk flowers, rather than real ones, is the option of using off season flowers in your decorations.

  Place the silk flower stems in a vase. The vase can be round or square, clear glass or colored. Make sure it is at least 8 inches tall.

  Inter-mix some silk baby's breath and a few stems of silk greenery within the silk flowers. Flower decorations do not need to be real in order to look real.
