Many years ago people only used silk flowers if they really, really had to as a last resort. But today the range of silk flowers is absolutely superb. Silk flowers are often mistaken for the real thing, and that says something for the silk flower industry.
BRIGHT COLOURS CHEER PEOPLE UP
An arrangement of colourful quality silk flowers does wonders to a room in the middle of winter. Sometimes less is more, and in the case of a few quality silk flowers this may be the answer.
Silk flowers have a definite place in the colder climates where it is so hard to have some nice cheering colour around during the winter months. Not only the use of colour, but so many flowers are expensive during this time if you have a need to put flowers in your house, or use them for a special occasion.
USE SILK FLOWERS TO WELCOME IN SPRING
The end of January is a time when it is a great to put out a bowl of spring flowers. To do this, of course, you are going to have to have a silk flower arrangement. The spring flowers that will help you get rid of the winter blues are: tulips, hyacinths, crocus and daffodils.
Fresh spring flowers are beautiful, but unfortunately their live span is not too long, and the season is also very short. That is why if you treat yourself to some silk spring flowers you will have them year after year.
Colour association has a huge affect on how we view life. The bright sunny colours of spring flowers make us think of sunny weather, outdoor living, beaches, summer holidays and the like.
LIME GREEN LEAVES COMPLIMENT SPRING FLOWERS
A colour that looks so sexy with yellow daffodils is lime green. Daffodils can look lovely in a feature vase on their own, but in an arrangement, put them with some lime green leaves and they will look stunning.
If you do not have any lime green leaves, either real or artificial, use some lime green ribbon. You wont be sorry.
AND
If you don’t have either lime green leaves, lime green ribbon, or bright blue ribbon, use a lime green vase. In fact, if you do like having flowers in the house, buy yourself a lime green vase. Lime green goes with so many flowers and makes flower arrangements look so alive and inviting.
BE ECONOMICAL AND HAVE COLOUR
The best way is to buy 3 or 5 (never an even number), quality silk flowers. With these you can add some cheaper bits and pieces of other silk blooms or branches, or even some dried branches collected from the beach or woods.
Keep several pieces of various shaped dried branches on hand. Try to choose something that has a bit of character: something that is very twirly and soft looking, or to the extreme, something that is very straight and stark. Pieces of wood like this is very attractive when it is painted too. For example, a piece of black painted wood would really compliment yellow daffidols.
Try out your hand at arranging some yellow silk flowers, black painted feature wood, and lime green leaves in a black vase. Stunning!
