All you need to know about artificial flowers!
The use of artificial flowers in offices, hotels, homes, weddings and events is becoming increasingly popular these days and for a good reason. They are affordable and look like the real deal. They will never wilt or droop, and will look realistic and lovely for years to come.
Shelf life
Fresh flowers are beautiful but they can be dead within a week of purchase. Fake flowers are a great alternative – they don’t wilt, don’t fall out, don’t get mouldy and do not have a strong odour when they begin to die.
Fake flowers last all year long and can easily be stored or swapped out to match the season or occasion. The only maintenance they need is dusting!!
Appearance:
Artificial flowers can give a room atmosphere. Whether it’s in the dining room, office or for a special event, flowers have a way of bringing emotion to a room.
A good faux flower appears lifelike and is an important element in making your flower arrangement appear realistic. Other important elements in making artificial florals seem more authentic is to ensure they are kept clean, positioned correctly and, most importantly, how they are styled.
Tip: Glass vases are one option for displaying your flowers as they allow you to see not only the flower heads but also the shape and texture of the stems. If you want to go that extra mile you can always add fake (acrylic) water to the bottom of the vase. Not only does it look more realistic, it also keeps your floral arrangement in place. Or you can use a ceramic vase that conveniently masks the stems.
Combined with organic flowers:
Many wedding planners and florists are using fake florals mixed in with real flowers to create fuller looks and reduce costs.
Artificial blooms have no need to be sprayed with water to keep them looking fresh, so you can enjoy your special occasion knowing that your flowers look perfect for guests and photos.
Pricing:
Without a doubt, artificial flowers are much cheaper than fresh, with the added benefit of being able to be reused for future events or to be kept as keepsakes.
