Seasonal Flowers

Nine out of ten people love receiving flowers. Many people admire the colour, the scent or the look of an arrangement but this is where their knowledge of flowers stops.

The first season for flowers that comes to mind is of course spring. When the word ‘Spring’ is mentioned most people tend to think of fresh, fragrant blossom and it amazingly puts so many people in great moods, I guess that is because the smell of all the flowers around. In spring not only do you get your different blossoms but there are other flowers available such as Lilies and Peonies which will brighten up the salon.

Following spring is summer where you are greeted with a myrid of flowers and colour. The queen of summer flowers is undoubtedly the rose which gives a rich fragrance. Other popular flowers are Daisies and Irises which adds a little touch of summer when needed.

Autumn is known more for the foliage rather than colourful flowers, but there are still colourful flowers that you can get such as Celosias, Fuchsias, Marigolds, and Proteas which offer brightness to your much needed reception area.

Winter is when most things including humans go into hybination however for flowers bulbs start to flourish giving us colour through Orchids and Tulips which are brilliant for those cold winter days.

Sometimes the flowers you need for your salon aren’t in season; however, Silky Blooms is able to allow you to have your favourite flower or flowers all year around through their unique service of rented silk flower arrangements. Silky Blooms use only the top quality silk and artificial flowers to create the look of fresh flower arrangements. They enhance this authentic look with the use of a resin substance inside the glass vase creates the illusion that the arrangement is sitting in water. So if you love having a special arrangement or adding a touch of summer in winter you also may have another favourite flower that’s not in season, contact Silky Blooms at www.silkyblooms.com.au

7 Reasons for choosing Silk Wedding Flowers

Gone are the days where your grandmother used to have those dust collecting very fake looking plastic flowers. Artificial flowers have come along way since those days…thank goodness. These days artificial flowers are so life like that they are often mistaken for fresh flowers. Most artificial flowers are made from either silk or latex and are mainly imported from China. The materials used are very durable, maintain their colour and can last forever.

Below are the seven benefits for using silk flowers:

· There is no mess or stains created from leaves or petals dropping or wilting.

· Artificial flowers are so life like that they are often mistaken for fresh flowers.

· Flower allergy sufferers can breathe easy.

· You are able to keep your bouquet forever without having to get it preserved.

· You can choose to have your flowers delivered many months prior to the wedding to allow you to match the dresses perfectly, or to have it ticked off the ‘to do’ list early on.

· You can have your first choice of flowers at any time of the year.

· Affordability – silk flowers are often less expensive than fresh.

Table and ceremony arrangements also look so life-like due to the resin substance used inside the glass vases that gives the illusion that the arrangements are sitting in water.

You may also find that some silk flower suppliers, like Silky Blooms, offer a rental service of arrangements too, this of course cuts cost of flowers for your big day.

BENEFITS OF SILK FLOWERS

Gone are the days where your grandmother used to have those dust collecting very fake looking plastic flowers. Artificial flowers have come along way since those days…thank goodness. Most artificial flowers are made from either silk or latex and are mainly imported from China. The colours and materials used enable the flowers to look very life-like which is why Silky Blooms was created. Silky Blooms has taken the life-like look one step further by using a resin substance inside the glass vases to give the illusion that the arrangement is sitting in water.

The benefits of using silk flowers will suit everyone. From the receptionist or home owner who suffers from allergies to the cleaners who are fed up with picking up the dead petals and having to remember to keep the water level up in the vase. Also for the brides who wish to have a flower that is out of season or any environmentally conscious person as the arrangements do not require water or chemicals to maintain them.

So please remember that Silky Blooms offer a second to none service for both creating and renting silk flower arrangements.

Until next time
