We have real flowers and artificial flowers. Dried flowers and preserved flowers are made from real flowers, and other flowers are artificial flowers.

Although artificial flowers and plants are commonly referred to as “silk”, the materials used to design our lifelike silk flower arrangements and artificial plants vary by style and cover a wide range of materials such as various fabrics, synthetic and poly-resin materials.

All of our artificial flowers are hand made from the finest quality materials. The fabrics have been carefully selected to ensure that our flowers look as close to nature as possible. Some of our blooms such as our roses are made from a synthetic material such as polyester whereas our lilies, tulips and magnolia stems are made from a type of foam that has been treated to ensure that each petal holds its shape perfectly. We tend to stay away from silk as this frays relatively easily and is a dead giveaway that your flowers are faux! 

Each of our flowers are hand made and hand painted making each one slightly different from the next, perfectly reflecting nature. Not only do we ensure that the heads of each of our flowers are incredibly realistic but we have paid a lot of attention to the stems of our flowers as well to ensure that these too are as close to nature as possible. Our roses are a great example of this with their realistic thorns and beautiful detailing on the stem and leaves.

Artificial flowers really require very little maintenance but there are a few tips that we recommend to keep your blooms looking 'fresh'. We would suggest each month putting your hairdryer on a cool setting and using this to blow away any dust that may have settled on the petals. This is especially important for the white and lighter coloured flowers as it's the dust that tends to cause marks whereas these don't show up as much on the darker colours. If you do see a mark on the blooms we would suggest using a damp cloth to try remove any stains. 

For the more delicate flowers such as our tulips, lilies and magnolia these are made from a special type of treated foam and it's important not to get these wet! If you do spot any marks on them then the best remedy is to use a baby wipe to try to remove the stain. We do not recommend placing the flowers in direct sunlight, in case there could be some colour-fading over time.

They certainly can! All of our stems are sealed at the bottom therefore placing them in water for short periods of time is absolutely fine and is a great way to fool your guests into thinking they are fresh! If the flowers are left in water for long periods you may start to see slight discolouration on the stem so we would recommend allowing the stems to fully dry out after each time they are in water. We love putting our blooms in water just before a dinner party as it always has our guests convinced that the flowers are fresh. Bear in mind if you purchased a bouquet with matching vase where the stems were trimmed, these are best not placed in water.

All of our flowers have stems which are comprised of one or multiple soft wires (depending on the flower) running down the centre which has been wrapped in paper and finished with a layer of plastic. As each of the stems are wired, they can easily be bent to fit any height of vase and straightened later if you decide to change how you want to display them!

As there is a wire running through each of the stems, we would ideally recommend using wire cutters to cut through the stem however if these aren't available then a strong pair of garden or kitchen scissors should do the trick!

One tip if you are having trouble getting through the wire is to cut through the paper and plastic with your scissors and make a small knick in the wire. Bend the wire back and forth which will help to weaken the wire and ultimately break it.

It's hard to determine exactly how long your artificial flowers will last however our estimate would be at least 5-10 years depending on the environment that they have been displayed in. We have had ours for years and they are still looking as 'fresh' as ever!

Replicating authentic flower fragrances can be difficult however we do appreciate that the smell of a fresh flower bouquet is one of their most compelling features. One great way to enhance the feel of your bouquet is to place your arrangement next to one of our fabulous diffusers available in a variety of floral scents. This will surely get your guests leaning in to give your blooms a sniff! 

Yes we certainly do! We have a whole section on our website dedicated to our gorgeous collection of glass and ceramic vases of various shapes, sizes and styles. Many of our bouquets and arrangements listed on the website have the option to order your flowers with the vase.

A general rule of thumb is the vase should be 1/3 to 1/2 the size of your stems. For example, a 40" stem will look best in a 12" to 20" vase. These are just suggestions; have fun with your floral designs.
