Why We Don’t Use Faux Flowers at Bloomery

Dhanuk & Wen's destination wedding at Jetwing Lighthouse, Galle

When planning a destination wedding in Sri Lanka, one of the most important design decisions you’ll make is your choice of flowers. While faux flowers may seem practical, at Bloomery, we exclusively use fresh flowers for all our wedding decor and floral design.

Here’s why we believe real blooms make all the difference — especially in the Sri Lankan climate.

1. Faux Flowers Don’t Hold Up in Sri Lanka’s Climate

   Sri Lanka is known for its tropical beauty — but also for its humidity and dust. Faux flowers, especially fabric-based ones, tend to collect dust quickly, making them look dull and aged, even before your ceremony begins. In outdoor or open-air venues, this becomes even more visible.

   Over time, artificial blooms can fray, fade, or unravel — something that will show in your wedding photos and take away from the polished, high-end look you deserve on your big day.

   
   

2. Artificial Flowers Can Be Just as Expensive as Fresh Flowers

   One of the biggest myths in wedding planning is that faux flowers are cheaper. But high-quality artificial flowers that look realistic are often expensive — especially when you need large volumes for arches, centerpieces, or hanging installations.

   Fresh flowers, on the other hand, offer real value. You're paying for beauty, scent, and the natural texture that creates an immersive and luxurious wedding atmosphere — something no artificial flower can truly replicate.

That said, in Sri Lanka, flowers can be surprisingly scarce due to high demand, limited local production, and seasonal fluctuations. To maintain our high standards and deliver a consistent, polished look for every wedding — especially during peak season — we carefully import select blooms from trusted international suppliers.

This ensures that your floral design looks intentional, premium, and true to your vision — no matter the time of year.

3. Fresh Wedding Flowers Create a Living, Sensory Experience

   There’s something undeniably special about walking into a venue adorned with fresh floral arrangements. They breathe life into the space, create movement, and elevate the atmosphere in a way no artificial bloom ever could. At Bloomery, we carefully select a mix of seasonal and imported flowers to ensure every design meets our signature standard — beautiful, balanced, and true to your vision. Whether sourced locally or globally, each stem is chosen with intention to create a floral experience that feels natural, refined, and unforgettable.
