Silk Flower Designs
Yes, take a look again. Is that bunch of lovely pink peonies artfully arranged in the clear vase in water real? Look at those calla lilys how breathtaking and perfect. Ah, lilacs, my favorite flowers. Look how fresh they are. Hey, wait a minute... it's the middle of August! How can they be so fresh! Surprise... they're silk!
Artificial flowers have come a long way. From the days of hideous heavy petaled plastic daisies and roses that our grandmothers used to have in their homes to breathtaking silk orchids and forsythia, freesia and magnolias. The silk flower market is a growing one with many silk flower manufacturers paying attention to detail, and to the growing acceptance of silk flowers.
Many brides today are choosing silk flowers instead of real flowers for their bouquets. Aside from the fact that it's almost impossible to tell the difference between silk flowers and real flowers, a bride getting married in the fall can now carry lovely cabbage roses and spring flowers in her bouquet - even though cabbage roses bloom in the spring. Using silk flowers a bride can have any type of flower she wants in a bouquet any time of year. Also, she has a bouquet that she can keep forever, without the expense and trouble of having her fresh bouquet preserved. It can cost upwards of $300.00 to have a real bridal bouquet preserved. The price of a silk bouquet comes in much under that price, making it in most cases a better buy for the money. Of course, all your wedding flower needs from hair pieces, to boutonnieres to centerpieces and arrangements for the church can be made from silk flowers.
Silk flowers and plants are perfect for use in the home too. There are hundreds of different types of silk plants to choose from. Do you yearn to have an english ivy cascading over your mantle, but you have a cat? As a cat owner you know that english ivy is poisonous to your cat, so you don't dare. Do you have a dark corner that you want to spruce up with a variegated hosta? Even though they are shade loving hostas need some natural light. Are you tired of watering and babying your real plants only to find them not happy with anything you do? Silk plants are the perfect answer.
You can purchase lovely wreaths and swags to use in your home in silk. Along with pre made silk flower arrangements you can also purchase some silk flowers "by the stem" which allows you to use your creativity making your own arrangements.
