Artificial flowers have come a long way since their plastic predecessors of past eras. It is no wonder therefore that artificial flowers are so popular right now, and there’s a good reason for that. Check out our reasons why artificial flowers are a perfect alternative to the fresh stem.
The benefits of artificial flowers
Last longer
Authentic flowers are made entirely of organic materials, whereas artificial flowers are made of synthetic materials (plastic, nylon) or processed organic components (in the case of silk flowers). Organic flowers can last up to a week in good condition before wilting. Artificial flowers, on the other hand, look fantastic all year round!
Cost-effective
Once flowers are cut, prepped, and placed into bouquets, they are a costly commodity. While the cost of artificial flowers varies, they are typically less costly than authentic flowers. When it comes to artificial flowers there are no weekly replacement costs. Our arrangements are all made to order and are botanically correct versions of their fresh counterparts.
Low maintenance
Artificial flowers require almost no attention. Well, not much. There is no need to cut stems, change the water, pick up dropped petals, or dispose of stinking wilting stems. All our blossoms require is a light blowing with a hairdryer on a cold setting every now and then to remove any dust particles that have fallen. A wipe with a clean cloth can also suffice. Artificial flowers may be used in any room, and there’s no need to worry about the summer heat or the fact that they’re artificial.
Hypoallergenic
Artificial flowers are perfect if you suffer from hay fever or have any other health problems that are triggered by pollen or fragrances. You won’t have to worry about any guests who might have allergies too and can enjoy your flower arrangements or plants without the restrictions. As such, they are perfect for medical practices, dental surgeries, vets (yes animals have allergies too), reception areas, and of course the home.
All year round availability
With artificial flowers, you’ll be able to enjoy your favourite blooms all year round. Our realistic artificial flowers can be in your home or workplace all year round, looking their absolute best whatever the season.
Easy to transport
No matter where you are going – to a new home or a banquet hall – your artificial flower arrangements will not wilt due to extreme temperatures or get damaged in transit. It’s easy to place your bouquets or centrepieces in a box when moving from one place to another. Artificial flowers are more resistant, so the colour and shape won’t deteriorate, and the blossoms can easily be restyled once you arrive at your final destination.
