Floral ArrangementsUpdated 2 months ago

Removal from Box

  • Carefully lift the arrangement from its base. Large arrangements may be secured with tension straps that need to be cut prior to removal from the box. 
  • Some shifting is normal during transit. Gently fluff flowers, foliage, or other embellishments to achieve desired look. See “Styling” section for suggestions.

Cleaning

  • To properly clean artificial flowers, simply use a feather duster, compressed air, or a hairdryer on a cool setting. Faux flowers can also be cleaned with a damp cloth. For Real Touch flowers, use a wet melamine foam sponge to gently wipe petals. We recommend doing this every few months to increase the lifetime of our arrangements.

Styling

  • Bending: Most artificial flowers have a wired stem. To design and style a faux floral arrangement that looks real, you can bend the stems to create an organic, fresh-cut look. 
  • Fluffing: For that fresh-from-the-garden look, fluff up the petals and leaves of your artificial flowers. Some petals are wired and can be manipulated to imitate different stages of growth.

Storage

  • The best way to store arrangements is to place them in a dry, airtight container, in an area with minimal light. Consider using plastic storage drawers or tubs, but be sure to choose storage that is large enough that it doesn’t squish or crumple the artificial flowers or decorative elements.
