Why More People are Choosing Artificial Flowers – and you should too!
Artificial flowers offer beautiful charm for your home without the fuss and maintenance. Learn how they save you time, money, and still elevate your home décor.
Long Lasting Flowers
We’ve all been there – you’ve got a beautiful, luxurious flower bouquet in a vase that brings us joy to see, but before long, they’re starting to wilt. It might be in the wrong spot, or perhaps they’re just reaching the end of their life cycle. The enjoyment being only fleeting, you have no real choice but to bin that once beautiful arrangement.
In contrast, using faux flowers in an artificial bouquet means you never have to say goodbye to your stunning bouquet. You can keep all of the joy, with none of the bitter ending. That means that your house will continue to look beautiful, with no extra effort.
Realistic Artificial Flowers
At the dawn of artificial flowers, it was easy to tell the difference between real and faux, but times have changed drastically since. At Floralsilk, our business was founded on changing the standards at the time. We only select the very best and most realistic-looking artificial flowers and foliage for our faux florals, meaning a bouquet can look just as real as one freshly picked.
When your friends and family dip down to smell them, you’ll know we’re right!
Allergy Free and Pet-Friendly Flowers for your Home
Perhaps you react to some flowers, or perhaps you spend your time googling which flowers you can have in your house, which, if accidentally consumed by the family pet, won’t cause an expensive vet bill.
If so, faux flowers are a perfect replacement. Not only do you manage to enjoy having flowers in your house once again, but they’ll also survive if trampled on by a rambunctious pet. Welcome flowers back into your home – with realistic artificial flowers from Floralsilk!
Low Maintenance
A fantastic aspect of faux flowers is that they require very little of your time. Once you assemble your imitation bouquet or stem within a vase, or place one of our artificial plants, you can walk away and leave it there – no need to set a watering schedule, or source a regular replacement. We particularly love this because flowers can brighten up a space incredibly, and only you need to know that they’re not actually real…
Perfect for Difficult Areas - Office, Bathrooms, and more
Got an office that needs sprucing up? Could use some florals in a room with limited light? Maybe you’ve tried to add houseplants for a bit of colour, but they’ve not survived the space they’re in. The easiest solution? Artificial plants, flowers, or bouquets… or all of the above.
Cost Effective
Consider the cost of purchasing flowers for each room in your house that you’d like to have them, and then how often you’d need to repurchase them based on their lifecycle… and it’s really easy to see why artificial flowers are a cost-effective choice. Not only do they last longer, but they’re a single cost, as opposed to an ongoing one.
Eco Friendly
If you’re concerned about your environmental impact, we hear you. Whilst artificial flowers aren’t inherently more eco-friendly than live flowers (as they require creating rather than growing), when kept, they can be a more eco-friendly solution long term, avoiding the need for pesticides, water waste, or frequent transport for repeated purchases.
Equally, we’re proud to have a range of Eco Flower and foliage stems made from recycled fabric and recycled plastic, free of glitter and microplastics. These sustainably produced eco artificial flowers are a wonderful way to consider your green footprint, whilst gaining all the associated benefits of faux flowers.
Flower Availability Year-Round
If you’ve ever tried to get hold of a peony outside of its very limited season, you’ll know that some of the world's favourite flowers are only available in short windows. Those windows aren’t consistent either – a change in weather or climate and you may not see them for weeks after your intended use! The benefit of artificial flowers is that you can have your favourite flower all year round. Perhaps wanted peonies at your wedding – well, with artificial peonies you can not only have them at any time of year, but you can keep your bouquet on display ever more. It also means you can mix your arrangements, pairing flowers that look absolutely stunning, but might never have been put together previously.
Easy to customise
If you love changing up your décor, artificial flowers are a phenomenal way to do it – and the level of flexibility just isn’t possible with live flowers. For example, you could mix and match your bouquets, so that you’re using the same flowers, but in new arrangements. You can use stems from your bouquet among your garlands or Christmas trees, and then return them once the season is over. You could refresh your room's décor by swapping bouquets between rooms. It’s so easy to customise your décor when you’re using artificial flowers.
For low maintenance, high impact décor, there’s little better than artificial flowers. Buy yours knowing you have access to a full range of flowers that are always in season, and won’t need prompt replacement. No need to water, and no need to worry about allergies, there are hundreds of reasons to opt for faux flowers. Find only the best at Floralsilk.
