Choosing Silk Flowers for Custom Designed Arrangements

The wonderful thing about floral design is that there are no hard and fast rules in choosing silk flowers for your floral arrangement. The objective is creating a piece that you enjoy and can admire for years to come.

Most floral arrangements are not seasonal and reflect an "all-seasons" style and color scheme. However, if you're looking for something more seasonal or are interested in how shapes and textures vary by season, you've come to the right place to learn about choosing silk flowers.

Often times focal floral arrangements will be rotated by season and, since many flowers only bloom during certain times of the year, you will need to know what style of flower is appropriate when. Certain colors are seasonal as well unless you have decorated your home with that specific color and then there is no seasonality to the design - for example, a pink room will look beautiful will pink tulips or daisies all year round.

The following is a guideline as to what flowers are appropriate during a specific season:

ALL SEASONS
Peonies
Hydrangeas favorite
Mums
Roses
All Dried Flowers
