Festive Flowers, a New Christmas Tradition?
We all like Christmas Decor; who doesn’t? Getting out the tinsel, the tree, and wreaths is an exciting tradition, and each decoration seems to fill our homes with that familiar Christmas magic. But there’s also plenty of reasons to want to try something new. These Christmas decorations can sometimes clash with room theming and style, they can cause clutter, or maybe you just want to make a new tradition with your family. So, for those of you looking for something new, our style experts recommend artificial flowers.
Are Artificial Plants New to Christmas?
Now, artificial plants and Christmas have a long history. From artificial Wreaths to Artificial Christmas trees. At first, these additions were looked down on for seeming less authentic than real trees or hand-woven wreaths. But as the quality of production increased, it became clear that artificial Christmas Plants were practical, affordable, required less maintenance, and could be just as stylish as the real deal. Now, most houses have some form of artificial plant as a decoration, from mistletoe to holly, to Christmas trees! Given just how popular a home accessory these artificial plants have become for Christmas, is it any wonder that flowers should follow as an accessory?
What’s So Great About Artificial Flowers?
Now, listing the benefits of artificial flowers would deserve its own article if we’re honest. But that doesn’t mean we can’t provide you with a quick three-point, festive-focussed summary. Practical - Artificial flowers are low-maintenance, long-lived, and safe. Investing in a good set of Artificial Flowers gives you, quite literally, an evergreen house decoration. Giving you years of gorgeous, stylish festive joy, as well as a versatile house accessory you can bring out for special occasions. Customisable - Artificial Flowers don’t have the aesthetic limitations of normal flowers, able to have either perfect colouration and form, or dazzling, unusual patterns. This opens up a whole new world of possibilities for stylish and unusual arrangements and vase pairing. The fact of the matter is, these flowers are designed to be displayed and customised, which means you have much more freedom to let your imagination run wild and create an arrangement that’s perfectly suited to your house or festive vision. Environmentally Friendly and Pollen-Free - Considering how long-lived artificial flowers are, they don’t need to be replaced and usually only need to be purchased once. This means that they end up costing very few air miles, and are more positive for the environment than replacing the same plants multiple times within a year. Also, last but not least, artificial flowers are pollen-free. You’re welcome, hayfever sufferers.

The Artificial White Potted Orchids Plant
