PRETTY AND EYE CATCHING SILK FLOWER BOUQUET AND STYLING IDEAS

PRETTY AND EYE CATCHING SILK FLOWER BOUQUET AND STYLING IDEAS

Flowers are an integral part of any wedding day, bringing the outside in and traditionally used in ancient Rome to signify new beginnings, fidelity and hope of fertility. Although fresh flowers tend to be a go to for the big day, faux flowers have increased and are continuing to increase in popularity. Wonderful silk flower bouquet and centrepieces that you can keep forever or have re-designed into a display for your home.

Here we chat with Ferris Heart Sloane about five faux wedding flower ideas for your big day, helping to set the tone and add personality to your wedding.

“Setting the scene for your big day can be quite the journey. On the first hand you want the décor to be individual to you and your theme, however you also want to ensure you don’t go over the top and go bloomin’ crazy. With that in mind, we thought we’d put together some floral display ideas that could suit your big day. You’re welcome…”

Flowerwall

“Flowerwalls are great for you and your guests. Not only are they ridiculously pretty, they make the perfect entrance enhancer and photographic background for your wedding photos. Available in an array of different variations to suit you and your theme, our faux flowerwalls are put together by hand and will really make a statement.
However, if you want to tone down the rest of the blooms, we would recommend complimenting your flowerwall by having small and subtle centrepieces on your tables.”

Eucalyptus Garlands

“Eucalyptus garlands. There’s just no end to their use. To be more wedding specific, we would use a Eucalyptus Garland to adorn the doors of your venue, your wedding transport (think VW Van, taxi, wedding busses, Rolls Royce) your tables and even a staircase (if there is one at your venue).
You can also use garlands to decorate a chuppah (if you’re having a Jewish wedding) or an archway if you’re having an outdoor wedding. See what we mean – the possibilities are endless and remember, faux garlands last forever so you can take them home after and use to decorate your home!”

Wisteria

Falling elegantly from the ceiling, draped lovingly around an arch, hanging beautifully over a door frame – are just a few of the ways you can use wisteria for your day. Perfect if you’re having an ethereal wedding and don’t want to make too much of a statement with your blooms, wisteria is the ideal go-to.
Wisteria is also perfect if you’re getting married outdoors and want to fill out the existing booms of the garden, or wherever you are!

Wild flowers

Looking for something a bit different? Wild flowers are a great way to break away from the norm – plus, they look great! They’ll also add a bit of texture to your table and could be a good contrast from traditional settings. Faux wild flowers can also be re-used for other events, or used at home to add some colour to your interiors.
Go on, go wild!

Potted Succulents

Whether you’re going for a western themed wedding or not, potted succulents are great if you’re going for the minimalistic vibe. Simple and easy to add to each table, potted succulents are ideal if you want to bring the outdoors in and re-use for your home interiors after. They also make great wedding favours too!

Eucalyptus Garland Is Always A Good Idea

4 Reasons Why Eucalyptus Is Always A Good Idea

How many ways can you make Eucalyptus work? Surely all you can do with it is drape it, or hang it over something to make it look pretty? WRONG. Our faux Eucalyptus stems, wreaths and garlands are super versatile and have many ways of making themselves useful. Whether you use for the home, an event, or even use for the garden, you’ll actually find it hard to think of ways you CAN’T use Eucalyptus. Here’s a few tips to help you on your way….

Wedding

A Eucalyptus Garland is a great way to accessorise a stairwell, archway or even the chairs at your wedding. Not only do they dress up what is already there, but they add an ethereal touch to the aesthetics and bring the outdoors in. You can also dress up exposed brickwork with a Eucalyptus wreath. No matter what your wedding theme is, neutral Eucalyptus will match pretty much everything and add depth to your arrangement of wedding blooms.

Home

You don’t just have to use our Eucalyptus stems for special occasions, you can use them all year round! One of the best things about faux Eucalyptus is that they last a lifetime and not just seasonally. For instance, not a fan of Christmas décor? Why not use a Eucalyptus Garland instead? Just drape lovingly along the mantelpiece and hey presto, you’ve got a tasteful display that will fit into all kinds of household interiors. You can also add a wreath to your kitchen to create a countryside inspired look.

Garden

Like to keep the outdoors outside? Our Eucalyptus is a great way to beautify even the dreariest of days, and they can make the man shed pretty! Simply add the Eucalyptus along the side of the shed and drape over the door and there you go a good looking shed. You can even wrap them around your garden chairs for an al fresco dining experience.

Shop Fittings And Photoshoots

There are so many great ways a Eucalyptus can dress up your store. You can drape over the shop window or use stems to adorn your shelves or till. Eucalyptus is also very photogenic. Why not use in the background of your imagery for a natural touch?

Faux real! Artificial Flower (last minute) Christmas Gift Guide 

Why not say it with flowers this Christmas. Our range of artificial flower pieces make the perfect Christmas gift and will last your loved ones a life time. You may not have realised but we don’t just stock gorgeous artificial flowers, but we also feature little treats that’ll make the perfect stocking fillers (we’ll divulge exactly what these little treats are later in the post). First of all, you could gift your mum a stunning Eucalyptus garland which she could decorate her mantelpiece with, or why not treat your friend to a gorgeous rose centrepiece for her dining table? Still not convinced. Check out our ‘un-real’ gift guide below. 

Gifts for Mum… 

 

As mentioned in the intro, our Eucalyptus Garlands are proving to be a popular choice which doesn’t have to be just for Christmas, with this garland she can decorate a chair in the bedroom, or put by the kitchen window to add an essence of eucalyptus. Artificial Garlands are for LIFE! Or, if she wants something else, why not opt for a Luxury Olive Spray she can add to existing bouquets to make a table look pretty 

Gifts for Sis

Not sure what to get your sister? Why not treat her to a beautiful array of peonies presented in a vase? Not only will they make her bedroom, or wherever she decides to put them look great, they will last forever so you don’t have to get her another present again (only joking). Or alternatively if peonies aren’t her thing, grab her one (or some) of our terracotta potted succulents to add fun and flair to her home.     

Gifts for Friends…

Again, our terracotta potted succulents would be a great gift to give all your friends, they really do liven up a room, desk or even toilet! Another fabulous alternative for a friend is one of our tea light holders. Each tea light holder is made from frosted glass. The rose, foliage and crystal bead centrepiece is approximately 18cm in diameter including foliage.  

Gifts for Mother in Law… 

Hmm… What to get the in-laws can be super tricky, but we think something pretty, neutral and perfect for the home, will be an ideal gift. Our Cream rose mix (Beautiful and elegant hand-made mixed rose selection in a cream mix) is beautiful and can be cut or bent to suit their interior theme or design. A definite contender, the cream colour way will go with pretty much any interior.

Stocking Fillers….

We also offer a range of great stocking fillers perfect for the big day, see our list below:

Frosted Hanging Pine Cone

Hydrangea Lavender Stem

Set of Peacock Feathers

Stay Put Celebrity Fashion Tape

12 Silver Butterfly Set

We can ship up until December 23rd to ensure you receive your gift before Christmas!

Have a great Christmas

Lots of Love
