Posted on Mar 05, 2010 under silk flowers | No Comment

 

Flowers are special for every occasion but special mention should be made of weddings. You cannot imagine a wedding without floral decorations. The tradition of using flowers during wedding goes a long way. It has begun from the ancient times when herbs and spices were used for keeping the evil spirits at bay.

 

But before you decide about the floral arrangement in your wedding, you need to remember some important points. These are:

 

a) You should be very particular that the flowers match the theme of the wedding. It is also preferable that you use the seasonal and regional flowers for the decoration purpose.

 

b) Always take the help of a floral designer. This is because the floral designer would arrange the flowers as well as the lights and the linens keeping the theme in mind.

 

 

c) When you are making the bouquets for decorating the pillars then have the bouquet made of right kind of flowers. For this take the help of a florist.

 

d) When you talk to a florist about the floral decoration in the wedding, always keep the personal choices of the groom and the bride in mind. But always listen to the suggestion of the florist. After all they have the expertise and the talent too.

 

After you have decided the floral decoration according to the theme of the wedding, you need to decide what the places that need floral decoration are! Your list should include

 

1) The gate of the wedding venue where preferably an arch of flower should be made

2) The pillars of the hall which should have garlands

3) The lecterns and pulpits should also be decorated with petals

4) The kneeling bench where you can keep rose petals

5) The aisle can be decorated with wreaths or garlands

6) The bridal table, cake table and buffet table with petals or garlands.

 

It is preferable that you use fresh flowers for wedding decoration because then you get both beauty and fragrance. But those who prefer artificial flowers they can go for decorations made with silk flowers. These come with vibrant colors and their stems can be bent in many ways for making a good decoration. A good floral decoration should have a mix of both artificial as well as natural flowers. If you want to have a good artificial decoration in place, choose the heart door decoration. It is made with silk flowers and paper cut out in heart shapes.

 

 

After making the floral arrangement for the wedding you would find how an ordinary venue can turn into breathtakingly beautiful place.

hawaii silk floral arrangements

Posted on Mar 03, 2010 under silk flowers | No Comment

Hawaii silk floral arrangements are used all over the world for their beauty and stunning arrangement. These flowers are seasonal and are not available at all times. To be able to get hawaii silk floral arrangements all year round, we have to settle for the artificial variety. Asianlanterns, boylesilkfloralsupply, kinkadestudios and outbackboutique are great sources for artificial Hawaii silk floral arrangements .

How to prepare a Hawaii silk floral arrangement called a lei: The flowers are sorted by size, color, and quality prior to stringing. A special lei needle and twine are used to fashion the blossoms into a strand about 40 inches in length. The strand is then tied with ribbon to form the typical lei. The metal lei needle is 12 to 18 inches long with a sharp point at one end and a small hook on the other end to hold the twine.

To make an orchid lei: hold a blossom flat in one hand and insert the needle carefully through the bottom of the flower, then through the center, and finally through the other end. Push the blossom down onto the lei needle and repeat the process until you have five or six blossoms on the needle. Wrap your free hand around the flowers and pull the needle and then the lei twine gently through the flowers. Repeat this process until the lei is the length you want.

Hawaii silk floral arrangements can be used for many occasions. According to the occasion the arrangement and the flowers included will vary. The occasions can be everyday decoration, anniversary, baby, get well soon gift and sympathy gift. From the arrangement of flowers the celebration or the occasions will be identified.

Silk flowers and plants are great for use in home decor or commercial business decor and are available from retailers such as designers, gift shops and promotional companies.
