Silk Flowers Vs Fresh Flowers 
  
Transportation: Silk Flowers and arrangements are easy to transport as there is no water involved, they can last in the boot of a hot car for days without wilting or dying and there is no chance of breaking the delicate heads and buds.    

Hayfever/Allergies: The quality of silk and artificial flowers have improved enormously over the past few years, this year even the Chelsea Flower Show displayed Silk Flowers for the first time. Hayfever and allergy sufferers can now display a beautiful and realistic range of flowers in their homes without them looking false and garish. Visit www.silkbouquets.co.uk to browse some of our traditional and modern designs.     

Previews: With Silk Flowers you can see exactly what you are buying long before they are needed. Say for a Wedding – you can choose the bouquet flowers, buttonholes, table arrangements months in advance and not worry that they will be slightly different on the day. The risk of them not being available on the day, as often happens with fresh flowers, is totally eliminated.                

Seasons: Daffodils in October? YES, if you want them! Silk Flowers are not dictated by the seasons as are fresh flowers. It is possible to buy amaryllis in June, Crocuses in December and hyacinth all year round. There are no limitations.

Keepsakes: Whatever the occasion, silk and artificial flower arrangements will last for years, so if someone you know is having a special day, an everlasting keepsake will continue to give fond memories. Visit us for artificial arrangements and silk flowers which make wonderful keepsakes.            

Hospitals: Fresh flower arrangements are no longer accepted in Hospitals because of the allergies they can cause, and the attention they need. However, silk and artificial flowers are allowed, even in the maternity ward. So don't wait til your loved one is back home and on the mend, send them your love with an artificial display in uplifting and cheerful colours.                            

Funerals and Cemeteries: Whether it's the Summer or Winter, fresh flowers suffer in the weather, too hot and they wilt and fade fast, if it's the Winter, they get wet and look unkempt. Artificial flowers can withstand all weathers looking fresh and cheerful for months on end. With today's amazing selection of realistic silk flowers, it is difficult to tell them apart from the real thing. Silk flowers have also become more accepted in cemeteries in the past few years, no longer being considered 'cheap'. They remain in the best condition for months making gravestones look more cheerful and less drab. Browse through our site for some ideas.
