Fake it with flowers

We are a mother and daughter team based in Worcestershire. In my former life, I am a Oxford-educated intellectual property lawyer who has worked more hours in the City than I care to count and my mother happens to be the most creati

ve person I know. Having painstakingly designed and lovingly put together all the silk bouquets and arrangements for my own wedding during the royal month and year of April 2011 we adored it so much we decided to do it for a living. Quite simply, we are perfectionists and know what works. We use only the best quality artificial flowers and achieve truly beautiful results. At your service

So, fake flowers... we know what you are thinking..."not those awful dusty looking paper roses, surely not, why would anyone ever want those?”

I can assure you, our flowers are a revelation. We source only the most authentic and true to nature artificial flowers you can find and, unless your name is Lieutenant Columbo, you'd never know they were fake. All anyone will see is simply stunning flowers. Reasons why fake is best:

Just like the real thing, without all the rubbish bits - Fake florals offer the look and natural beauty of the real thing without the dreaded allergy concerns, drooping, wilting, discolouring, seasonal problems, and, most importantly, much feared pollen stains. Suitcase suitable - getting married abroad, look no further! Fake flowers are just perfect for a gorgeous wedding abroad. They save you the troubles of language barriers and distance, not to mention the devastation wilting heat can cause, by giving you your perfect blooms (even in 35 degree heat) - all of which can be packed up easily in a suitcase. Value for money - Real flowers are extortionately expensive. Fake flowers offer fabulous value for money, doubling up as keepsakes, instant reception decorations and gifts (see below). Everlasting keepsakes - Fake florals will last, quite simply, for as long as you chose to keep them. My bridal bouquet currently graces a pretty vase in our bedroom and is just as stunningly beautiful today as it was on my wedding day - at no extra cost to me. There is even the hope that my daughter may choose to carry it down the aisle if and when that day comes *cue bleary eyes* (and she’s not even one yet). Gorgeous gifts – Bridesmaid bouquets and table arrangements can double up as gifts offering a lasting memento of the day. I have a gorgeous fake burgundy winter rose bridesmaid bouquet from my best friend’s 2008 wedding which sits beautifully in a vase in my kitchen / diner window. Whenever I catch my daily glimpse, I am instantly transported back to that beautiful December day and feel all warm inside. Fake flowers + advance order = happy bride – You can order your flowers well in advance then sit back and relax (with a wry smile and a large G&T*). *Optional. Does your bouquet match The Dress… are you sure? – With fake flowers you can order your bouquets well in advance and then take the ACTUAL bouquets with you to your dress and bridesmaid dress fittings (clever, huh?). I found this an invaluable bonus. Convinced? Yep, thought so. Seriously, it’s a no brainer you simply must “Fake it with flowers”.
