Buying an artificial bouquet: what should you look for?
An artificial bouquet can look beautiful in a photograph. But how can you tell whether it will look just as good in your home? Look at the finish of both the flowers and the foliage, the way the bouquet is arranged and its proportions in relation to your vase and interior. At SiaFlora, a beautiful bouquet starts with the whole composition: individual flowers may be lovely, but they also need to work together.
Look beyond the flower head
A convincing flower paired with shiny foliage or an obviously plastic stem can still look unnatural. Take a closer look at the leaves, branches and joins between the flower and the stem. These are the details that remain visible in your vase.
The same applies to Real Touch artificial flowers. For us, a flower head that feels pleasant to the touch does not automatically make a beautiful stem. The appearance of the entire stem matters just as much. Choose a flower because you like the whole of it, rather than its material label alone.
More stems do not necessarily make a more beautiful bouquet
A single stem may carry one flower, or several branches and flower heads. Counting stems alone therefore tells you little about the final volume. Instead, look at the size of the flowers and how they are distributed throughout the bouquet.
And fuller is not always more beautiful. Celeste has a rounded, full base of cream hydrangeas. Ambra has delicate side branches and open spaces. Two different ways to bring character to a spot in your home.
Start with the spot in your home
Are you looking for a calm arrangement on your sideboard or a striking accent beside the sofa? The answer makes a difference to the shape, colour and height you choose. Measure the space and consider the bouquet together with its vase: the vase also affects how the flowers spread out.
