In the past, artificial flowers were finely crafted from silk and were only affordable by those in the upper echelons of society. Today, they have evolved and are made from polyester and other man-made fibres, which make them more durable and vibrant, and much more closely aligned with live blooms and foliage.

Artificial flowers require minimal maintenance. For more information on our products and how to look after them, visit our flower care guide.

At present, artificial flowers cannot be recycled – though we are regularly exploring options and hope for this to be the case in future. Currently, we recommend storing your artificial flowers for reuse in other arrangements, sharing them with others, or donating them if you no longer have space for them.

Most of our faux flowers are designed for indoor use. However, our Outdoor Collection has been specifically treated to be UV-resistant, to prevent fading of the colour in sunlight.

You will find there’s very little you need to do in order to make your artificial flowers look their best. On arrival, you may find that flowers can become creased or squashed during transit. In this case, simply gently tease open the flower heads to encourage their natural shape. When arranging stems, the stalk can be easily bent to the needed height or cut with wire cutters. You can find more on how to look after your artificial flowers in our care guide.

Our artificial flower bouquets are carefully selected stems brought together by our expert in-house florists, tied, and wrapped. On arrival, the stems can be bent to the length needed to suit your vase, and rearranged as preferred.

Our artificial flower arrangements are a collection of artificial flowers in vases, set with resin. The arrangement of them is crafted on-site, and then set in the base of the vase. For clear vases, this gives the appearance of water. These artificial flowers in vase designs make for perfect gifts, as they will always look perfectly arranged – no further design needed.

This depends entirely on the look you’re hoping to achieve, the artificial flowers you use, and the vase you want to place them into. As a guide, a standard artificial flower bouquet will be around 9 stems.
