Destination wedding - taking artificial flowers abroad.
Are silk flowers a good idea for a destination wedding?
Artificial flowers are a great option for a wedding abroad, they can be taken on a plane quite easily and will not wilt in hot climates. There is also the benefit of having the flowers in advance and being able to match them with other elements of the wedding decor.

How should I pack the flowers for taking on the plane?
It is important to pack your artificial wedding flowers carefully to avoid any damage during transport. Ideally if you can wrap your flowers with tissue paper and bubble wrap and transport them in a sturdy box, like a hat box to protect them from getting crushed or bent that would be perfect. We would recommend taking the flowers in hand luggage where possible, particularly the bouquets.
It is best to check with your airline about their specific regulations regarding carry-on and checked baggage. Some airlines may have specific guidelines regarding the size, weight, or type of containers that you can use to transport your artificial flowers.
What flowers should I choose for a destination wedding?
Choosing the right wedding flowers for a destination wedding depends on several factors, including the location and theme of your wedding. You will also want to consider your colour scheme and style of wedding venue.
The location of your wedding is an important factor to consider when selecting your wedding flowers. If you're having a beach wedding, you may want to consider using tropical flowers like orchids and bird of paradise. If you're having a mountain wedding, you could incorporate more natural and rustic elements like ferns and wildflowers.
The theme of your wedding can also influence your flower selection. For example, if you're having a chic and stylish coastal wedding you may want to choose elegant blooms like white roses and orchids. Or perhaps you’re planning a romantic wedding in the Tuscan countryside, where you could incorporate olive greenery with beautiful country garden flowers in light pastel shades such as garden roses, lavender, hydrangea and lilies.
