Why florists should use more artificial flowers for floral arrangements and hampers!
Artificial Floral Bouquets and Arrangements
As a florist, you would know about the hype around artificial florals and why they are a popular solution for events and arrangements. And if you don’t want to only use faux flowers you can incorporate smaller bunches of real ones into the arrangement – it will save you time, money and stress.
Other reasons to include more faux florals into your real floral arrangements and to give your gift hampers that special finishing touch are:
Increased durability: Artificial flowers are more durable than fresh flowers which means they can withstand handling and transport without wilting or fading. This makes them a great option for floral arrangements and hampers that need to be transported or handled frequently.
Greater variety: Artificial flowers come in a wide range of colours, shapes, and sizes, which allows florists to create unique and customized arrangements.
Out-of-season availability: Brides often don’t realise that the flowers in their dream bouquet may be out of season at the time of their wedding. Fake flowers & greenery are available all year round, ensuring you can satisfy the most exacting bride.
Longer shelf life: Fresh flowers have a limited shelf life, typically lasting only a few days to a week. Faux flowers, on the other hand, can last for years if properly cared for. This means that florists can keep a wider range of inventory and can create floral arrangements well in advance of the delivery date.
Florist Gift Hampers
For many florists, offering gift hampers for special occasions such as Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and birthdays is a successful part of their business. Hampers can make such a gorgeous gift for anyone and continue to grow in popularity.
Real flowers can smell gorgeous but wilt within a week of purchase. If you want to include a luxe touch to your hampers, why not add in fake florals or greenery?
Longevity: Artificial flowers are durable and will last indefinitely. This means that they can provide a lasting reminder of the gift, to be enjoyed by the recipient for a long time.
Versatility: Artificial flowers come in a wide variety of colours and styles which means that florists can create unique and personalized gifts.
Cost-effective: Artificial flowers are usually more affordable than fresh flowers, helping keep the cost of the gift hamper down. This allows florists to offer a wider range of options at attractive prices.
Allergy-free: Some people have allergies to fresh flowers which can make it difficult for them to enjoy them. Faux flowers are hypoallergenic and can be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of their sensitivities.
Overall, using artificial flowers in hampers and floral arrangements can be a cost-effective and convenient option for florists. They can create beautiful and unique arrangements that are both durable and long lasting, making them a great choice for florists who want to create thoughtful and memorable gifts.
