Silk flowers are sometimes far better than real flowers in as much as they are obviously permanent and can be kept as a fond reminder of a special event. Unlike fresh flowers, silk flowers have no season and if you have a favorite flower you can obtain it at any time of the year.
The range of silk flowers is extraordinary, single stem roses, Lily of Valley Bouquets and Artificial Silk Flower Azalea with Buds are just a few to choose from. For your special event, be a christening, wedding or anniversary you can plan well in advance and rather than order everything in one go, buy a single item as a sample to make sure it's exactly what you want.
When new and clean silk flowers look great and for this reason they are usually kept on display far longer than fresh flowers. As a result they can become dusty and look tired. There are several ways to clean them, one being to put the heads of the flowers in a paper bag, sprinkle rice or salt over them and give the bag a good shake. The dust clings to the rice or salt and can be shaken off, leaving the flowers looking as good as new.
So, next time you are looking for something special as a gift, try silk flowers.
