Our wedding is in February and, since we live in Minnesota, it's bound to be fairly cold (historically 10-20 degrees F). I asked my florist if she would advise us against taking our flowers outdoors for some photos and she said it totally depends on the actual temperature that day. Honestly, it makes me really nervous to risk taking flowers outdoors prior to the ceremony - I don't want to walk down the aisle with a black, frozen bouquet!
Should I do faux florals just for our pre-ceremony photos and then switch to real florals for the ceremony (all reception centerpieces will be real). Would the difference between my real and fake bouquet be super obvious in photos? Or, should I just take chance and hope that the temp isn't too cold that day?

How long would you be outside for photos? I plan on going outside for photos and bringing the flowers in February in Boston, I think they should be fine. We aren't going to be outside for a long period of time so I can't see it affecting the flowers.
If you are really that worried then I would probably go with the faux flowers for the pre-ceremony pictures, although I'm not sure if the difference would be really obvious. I'm not a fan of faux flowers so personally I would just take the flowers out and then get them back inside as soon as I was done.
Good luck!

I went with Button Bouquets! They were a very unique aspect to the wedding, and I didn't have to worrry about flowers going bad. I actually make them. Check out the website below to see!
