There are quite a few reasons why fresh flowers may not be an option. Wanda contacted me about a family member she wanted to send flowers to who was going through cancer treatment. She wasn’t able to be around fresh flowers, so Wanda though silk flowers would be a great option, and she was right. She gave me a few parameters and her budget and I got to work designing a custom arrangement for her.
Wanda enjoyed the simple process so much that a few weeks later she placed an order for a graduation gift that would double as dorm room decor and a sympathy arrangement to be delivered after a funeral.
This graduation arrangement would need to be bright and fun for a young lady heading off to college. I used corals, pinks and a touch of yellow. Wanda requested some pinks and Baby’s Breath, so I was sure to include those elements. The geometric accent vase makes for a floral arrangement that is both modern and feminine.
A sympathy arrangement can be bright and striking, but for something that stays in the home, a more subtle look seemed appropriate. I used a blend of mauve, pink, and ivory flowers with greenery in a more classically styled vase for an arrangement meant to be a sweet reminder of a loved one lost.
This last arrangement was a recent order from Wanda for her Great Aunt who needed a little cheering up in her care facility. With all of the restrictions happening, Wanda wanted a bright spot in her Great Aunt’s room. A custom silk flower arrangement is a great way to do just that!
