If you are planning on decorating with silk (or fake) plants, there are a couple of rules that you need to follow to ensure longevity. First, the silk, plastic, or other materials used in most artificial plants can fade if placed in direct sunlight. However, as long as you occasionally rotate the placement of the plants, some exposure to sunlight is nothing to worry about. Another step you will want to take is to dust your plants on a regular basis—too much dust causes flowers and plants to lose color. It is a good idea to make sure little children cannot reach your plants or flower arrangements, as they can be easily broken. You can contact the manufacturer for information about repairs if any damage to your greenery does occur. You can correct a lot of mishaps by using a hot glue gun. If the damage is more substantial, wrap, tighten, and seal repairs with wire.

Green Décor

One of the foundations of a properly decorated home is creating the right mood. Furniture pieces, colors, textures, and styles help mold a room and set that mood. In a room with earthy colors—a very trendy look nowadays—greenery helps the room breathe and feel fresh. When adding greenery, make sure you know the size and positions of the areas you will utilize so that you choose pieces with complementary shapes and styles. A good rule of thumb for tree height is to get a tree that is at least one to two feet shorter than the ceiling. You will also want the branches to be able to fit naturally in the area. Plants come in many shapes and sizes – if you are planning on having a tabletop display, a shorter plant like a bonsai tree would be perfect. An item that is great for ceiling corners is hanging plants. The benefit to silk plants is that they can be placed in areas that do not receive direct sunlight, yet they still retain a natural look.

Making the Wedding Bouquet

Regardless of who you are in relation to the bride, you may be overwhelmed by the task of assembling her wedding bouquet. However, using silk flowers can make your job much easier. Most silk flowers are incredibly realistic and should look beautiful at the wedding. The traditionally romantic flower is the rose, and as you look at bouquet designs, you will find that most incorporate at least some roses. Your bouquet doesn’t have to be radically different to look stunning. A rounded shape, with appropriately colored flowers enhanced with leaves is always a beautiful look. The shape of the bouquet, the types of flowers used, and the decorative pieces are three main elements you can play around with if you want a more unique look for the bouquet. Stay close to what the bride wants for the bouquet design. Yet another benefit to silk bouquets is they can be designed and assembled early, which allows you to get the bride’s approval.

Picking the Right Pot

Choosing the right pot for your flower arrangements, plants, or trees is just as important as choosing the right picture frame for your artwork. Based on the styles and types of greenery you use, one pot may work well for your plant while another one does not compliment it at all. One example is the bonsai plant: look for a pot with warm, rich colors and an Eastern style. On the other hand, with a bamboo plant the pot should have a more modern design or perhaps use a wicker material. Before you come to a decision, look at several different styles, colors, and materials to make sure you get the best fit. The size of the pot is an area where taste can overrule practicality. A gigantic pot often steals the show—which may be exactly what you want—while smaller pots give all the limelight to the greenery.
