Tips for displaying silk flowers

Silk flowers offer a number of benefits. While cheap varieties look fake even from a distance, quality artificial blooms look like the real thing and you can be sure that they will last for years. Unlike fresh flowers, silk arrangements do not require water or regular trimming. You will need to dust them from time to time or it will be a dead giveaway that they are artificial.

Vase arrangements

When displaying silk flowers in vases, there are a few things to remember, Since you do not need water, you will need to hide this. A non-transparent vase is the easiest way of doing this. If you really want to use a clear vase, you can add some vase fillers like pebbles or plastic gems. Make sure that you place your arrangement somewhere away from any sources of heat, direct sunlight and wind.

Wreaths

Wreaths are often used to decorate places like walls and doors. They can also be used as centrepieces. For the most part, they are also used to celebrate special occasions or seasons. Some popular examples include Christmas, Halloween and autumn. Silk wreaths are perfect because you can use them year after year and you don’t have to worry about them perishing.

Garlands

Garlands can be used for many occasions including birthdays, weddings, baby showers and many other events. They can be used to decorate tables, entrance ways and even hang from ceilings. When using fresh flowers, garlands will not last all that long. Silk garlands are excellent for occasions that last for several hours or if you are planning on extending the party over an entire weekend.

Potted plants

Silk plants, like silk flowers, are available in several varieties. They need to be displayed in an area where they will not receive any direct sunlight or be exposed to sources of heat or draughts. The best part is that you don’t have to worry about watering your plants when you go away on holiday.

These are just some of the best silk display ideas and how to make the most of them. By taking proper care of your silk arrangements, you will get to enjoy your flowers for that much longer. If you choose to store your silk flowers, make sure that they are clean and dry before you do. Place them in an airtight container and keep them in a cool, dry and dark place.
