Types of Artificial Flowers

Artificial flowers are perfect to use when creating vase or basket floral arrangements, centerpieces, decorative wreaths, hanging baskets and swags. The flowers are available in many different types, styles, colors, textures and materials making them extremely versatile when used to create elegant home decor accessories.

Types

Silk flowers, naturally dried or preserved dried flowers, latex dipped, picks, branches and flowering vines are different types of artificial flowers.

Features

Flowers may be a single stem, a cluster of individual flower heads attached to a single stem or a branch with blossoms. Floral picks have small flowers attached to a pick used to insert into foam or straw bases.

Materials

Polyester is the material used to make silk flowers. Silks dipped into latex create a different texture and feel. Preserved dried flowers are real flowers naturally dried or protected with a covering of glycerin.

Benefits

Artificial flowers have the benefit of looking like fresh flowers, require minimal care, and can be stored and last indefinitely. Quality silk flowers have smooth edges and hand-wrapped stems.

Great for Allergy Sufferers

Artificial flowers are an excellent alternative for use in home decorating projects for anyone who suffers from allergies.
