Why Buy Permanent Botanicals? Silk Flowers on Sale at Gillespie Florists

Posted by Mon, Jul 06, 2015 @ 04:05 PM

kellybadgetag-01-3Look at these blooms! Aren't they lovely? Intricate? Natural? The arrangements in the picture are very natural looking! However they happen to be permanent botanicals; otherwise known as silk flowers.

Growing up I've always known them as silks; why change the name? Because time and technology have given us materials in abundance to create blooms and foliage to look more detailed, gorgeous, and so life-like you may think you've walked into Madame Tussauds. Fortunately, permanent botanicals are very accessible so you don't have to leave town to find natural looking flowers to create a masterpiece for the living room and office. 

Speaking of places to find these "faux natural" beauties; we are having a sale on ours at Gillespie Florists! From 40% off take out silk arrangements, cemetary silks, and you can even choose to have them delivered at 20% off! Sounds like a fabulous deal to add some three-dimensional still life to your home. silksale_blog-01Now that I've given you the "how" to obtaining quality permanent botanicals; let us look at why we should consider having them. Here is my quick rundown:

1. Availability:
Silk flowers are always in season; in a multitude of colors. Get what you want when you want it.

2. Long term Savings:
Permanent Botanicals are built to last, last, and last some more. Extend the life on your silk arrangements by keeping them away from the full sun and dust them occasionaly to maintain a healthy and natural glow. 


3. Low Maintenance:
Faux flowers are not maintenance free but instead of checking for dead leaves, changing out water, clipping back branches, etc; you'll dust it down every once in a great while and admire their fresh colors.


4.  Allergy Free:
Having guests over? No worries about permanent botanicals causing allergic reactions to pollen or scent! However, you CAN choose to scent the arrangements if desired.

5.  Re-Use
 
Re-use, recycle, upcycle; one of my favorite aspects of having permanent botanicals is they are almost indestructable and if I'm ready for a different vase or look; I can use what I have and add more!  

There are quite a few more reasons permanent botanicals are favored among the world of flowers but these are my personal top five. Have I convinced you to add faux flowers to your world? Yes? Then stop by our shop by July 11th to take advantage of our silk sale! Unsure of jumping into the land of faux natural beauty just yet? Give it time...it will happen when you least expect it. Take a peek at our lovely collection of permanent botanicals the next time you visit us. Our fine quality silk arrangements are works of art with the fine detail and luxurious color on each petal and leaf.  A guaranteed perfect touch of natural beauty to any living area and office space.
