FAQs, cleaning, and designing with artificial flowers
- Even though they are referred to as silk, most faux flowers such as our oak stem are made with combinations of plastic, polyester, and wire
- Occasionally dust your floral arrangements with a feather duster
- The base stems are overly long and sturdy. Feel free to trim the length with wire cutters
- If you are making a permanent floral arrangement in a traditional container, you’ll want to anchor your greenery in dry floral foam. Dry floral foam does not hold water and offers a sturdy base to hold your plants
- Cover your floral foam with dry moss or pebbles
- Be creative. Feel free to cut, trim, and divide your stems into smaller parts. Sturdy wire cutters will work
- If you are using a free-style design of loose stems in tall containers, the basic design rule is you’ll want your stems to stand 1.5 times taller than the container
- Artificial flowers and stems ship flat. You’ll want to bend and shape them on arrival
- Think about this simple rule for mixed arrangements: Use one thriller (the focal point flower), some spillers (stems that drape beyond the sides), and a few upright stems for pizazz
- Another common design rule is to use odd numbers of stems, such as 3, 5, and 7 stems per flower variety
