EVERLASTING BEAUTY

Flowers have long been considered Nature's poetry. They evoke emotions, spark memories, have meanings and add beauty to all locations. They have symbolised love, enhanced celebrations and offered emotional comfort and apologies for decades. Sadly, their ephemeral beauty leads to wilting, fading and ultimately death within a couple of short weeks, if you are lucky. Time for a warm welcome to artificial flowers. A realistic substitute for fresh flowers with zero maintenance but all the visual impact of a real bouquet.

THE EVOLUTION OF FAUX FLOWERS

The improvements in the qualtiy of artificial flowers is nothing less than outstanding! Once considered a cheap and tacky imitation, faux blooms are now a luxury to behold. Made from the finest polyester and latex, often with hand painted petals and leaves, the painstaking attention to detail makes them indistinguishable from their live sisters. Whether you have a preference for roses or hydrangeas, peonies or cottage garden flowers, a bouquet of artificial flowers displayed in a vase are an adaptable solution for bringing the outdoors in and adding an abundnce of natural style to any interior space.

FUNCTIONALITY AND DURABILITY

Whilst real flowers provide a transient beauty, artificial flowers give both functionality and durability. Say goodbye to replacing stale water for fresh, dropping petals and leaves. Place faux flower arrangements wherever you wish to display them. They have no requirements for sunlight and constant temperatures and will brighten the dimmest of rooms. Keep them dust free with a microfibre duster and they will reward you with their everlasting beauty. Faux flowers are hypoallergenic and pet friendly too!

REDUCE YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

The longevity of artificial flowers result in a much greener choice than fresh flowers - fewer transport emissions (one long journey from the Far East by container ship against weekly flights from Columbia and Ecuador), no pesticides, reduced packaging and zero fertilisers. Not to mention they can be reused and rearranged to recreate stunning displays ad infinitum.

EMOTIONAL LEGACY

Many will tell you that the true beauty of fresh flowers is enveloped by their fleeting nature but there is nothing sadder than a vase of wilting blooms. Is that the memory you wish to impart on your loved one? When you gift artificial flowers, the joy they imparted on receipt and the intended message behind them, remain intact forever. A gift of faux blooms is a constant reminder of the thoughts that accompanied the initial gift.
