At Two Whimsical Florists, we value the importance of flowers in our lives. To help you make an informed choice between fresh and silk floral arrangements, we've conducted thorough research to provide you with a comprehensive comparison. We'll consider factors like longevity, allergy-friendliness, versatility, maintenance, and cost-effectiveness, while also delving into the unique advantages of our handmade silk floral bouquets.
Fresh Florals or Silk Florals:
A Detailed Analysis
1. Lasting Beauty
- Fresh Florals: Fresh flowers possess a unique and ephemeral charm, but their beauty is short-lived, usually lasting only a few days before wilting and losing their vibrancy.
- Silk Florals: Silk floral bouquets that are crafted with high-quality materials are designed to retain their vibrant colours and lifelike appearance for years to come, ensuring lasting beauty that fresh flowers cannot. However, most silk flowers do not have the same soft fleshy feeling as real petals, so if you're looking to sprinkle rose petals down the aisles, we recommend going with real flowers.
2. Allergy-Friendly
- Fresh Florals: Natural flowers can be a source of discomfort for those with allergies due to pollen and fragrances.
- Silk Florals: Silk flowers are hypoallergenic, making them a safe and enjoyable option for people with allergies & those in the hospital without the worry of allergies. If you're missing the fragrance of real flowers, we recommend spraying them with your favourite perfume.
3. Versatility + Maintenance
- Fresh Florals: Fresh flowers, while undeniably beautiful, have a limited lifespan and require frequent replacement to maintain their appearance. This means they will need to be set-up a couple hours up to 2 days before an event to look their best (floral arches, arrangements, installations, etc) with limited choices to flowers depending on season availability.
- Silk Florals: Our silk flowers offer endless possibilities for decorating your space. They can be artfully arranged to suit any occasion and are available to be set up weeks and months in advance. They can also be adjusted in a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes in all seasons.
4. Cost-Effectiveness
- Fresh Florals: Fresh flowers can be expensive, especially if they require frequent replacements.
- Silk Florals: Our silk floral arrangement offer a cost-effective alternative (including 10-day rentals), allowing you to allocate your budget to other aspects of your event or occasions.
