The Benefits of Using Artificial Flowers

Posted on September 8, 2010 by gtdecorations

Flowers can add a touch of personality to any room, from a restaurant to a hotel reception to a hair salon.  While real flowers are beautifully scented and extremely attractive, they have many disadvantages.  There are numerous benefits to using silk flowers in your floral arrangements.

Real flowers are very expensive and last only a few days.  Artificial flowers are manufactured to an extremely high standard and can last a lifetime.  There’s no need for water; all a silk flower needs is to be dusted once a week, eliminating the inevitable spillages!  Silk flowers don’t require fertiliser insect spray.  There’s also no chance of artificial flowers being attacked by insects or becoming mouldy.

Silk flowers can be reused many times.  An arrangement can easily be taken apart and rearranged if you fancy something different following a redecoration.  If you choose artificial flowers for a wedding, or other special occasions, they can be arranged into an attractive display for the home – a lasting reminder of a special day.

Artificial flowers are extremely hard-wearing and long lasing.  They can easily be formed into any arrangement required without danger of them breaking or petals falling off.  You need not take care when handling artificial flowers, unlike real ones.  You can even use glue, sticky tape or staples on them!

As you can see, there are numerous benefits to artificial flowers.  Choosing them for floral displays mean that you’ll have attractive and eye catching arrangements for years to come!

Create The Right Setting With Silk Flower Arrangements And Greenery

Posted on August 23, 2010 by gtdecorations

The most successful hotels these days invest a lot of time and effort in thinking about interior design. A large part of this is getting the right balance of decorations and pieces that are going to complete the ‘look’ of the room. One of the simplest ways to add finishing touches to a room is to add some silk flower arrangements and greenery.

The exterior of the building should look inviting yet luxurious at the same time. A great way to get the balance right is to add some trailing plants and high quality artificial greenery. This will not need as much maintenance and as GT Decorations offer a wide range of luxurious artificial flowers and plants, you will always be able to find something to suit the image of your business.  The reception area would also benefit from having a large plant as these areas are usually lit very brightly. Adding some artificial greenery will help tone it down, while adding to the homely atmosphere.

Inside, the dining room should look attractive and make the customer want to spend some time there. After all, the more comfortable and homely a room looks in a hotel, the more relaxed your customer will feel. Plants and flowers will help you achieve this look. They can even be coordinated to match the season of the year or to match the furnishings and colour scheme of the hotel. Classic designs will also add warmth and ambience to the room.

Floral Arrangements For Wedding Bookings

Posted on August 3, 2010 by gtdecorations

Many people spend months, even years planning their wedding day, as they want it to be the happiest day of their lives. Everything has to be perfect – from the silk flowers at the venue to the wedding dress. Perfection comes at a price however, so your client will be expecting the very best from their venue.

Hotels and other wedding venues will be expected to deliver an excellent standard of food, drink and service on their clients’ wedding day. Decoration will also form a fundamental part of this as this will be the first thing the wedding guests and bridal party will notice when entering the reception venue.

Flowers have always been very important in wedding celebrations, and floral arrangements at the wedding venue can come in all shapes and sizes. GT Decorations can help you deliver on your clients’ brief and offer the type of flowers they have always dreamed of.

The table centrepieces for instance will need to have either fresh or artificial flowers of superior quality as the guests will be sitting around them for most of the day. The arrangement needs to be stylish, yet low enough for guests to be able to see each other across the table. Of course some brides may prefer taller floral arrangements so find out what she prefers before charging ahead.

The flowers at the wedding may also be coordinated with the bride’s bouquet to add a bit of luxury as it continues with the whole wedding colour theme.

Brightening Your Business Up

Posted on July 21, 2010 by gtdecorations

If you own or run a business which holds functions – whether they be weddings or parties, or perhaps just conferences – then you are likely to have flowers as part of your decoration scheme. Not only do these add a touch of elegance and class to any room they are in, but these also make a place feel warmer and attractive, too. Without them, a place runs the risk of appearing bare and cold.

When it comes to choosing the right flowers, though, things can become difficult. If you have a team of staff who can help maintain the flowers, by watering them, washing the vases and pots, even replacing them when they start to wilt and die, then it can be somewhat easier to have a wide collection of them throughout your space.

However, if you are understaffed and cannot spare the necessary manpower to ensure that they are properly maintained, then having a constant supply of natural flowers may not be an option. Your best choice, though, could be artificial flowers. Not only do these look just as beautiful and bright as natural flowers, but they are cheaper and require no maintenance, which means that artificial flowers can be bought, placed in their vases and then left for people to admire.

At GT Decorations, we stock a vast range of artificial flowers, in various styles and colours, which will not only delight your guests, but will give your place of business a warm, inviting feel, no matter what its decoration scheme. Artificial flowers could be just the thing to brighten your business up.

Artificial Floral Arrangements For Any Home

Posted on July 14, 2010 by gtdecorations

Floral arrangements are a great addition to any home. Not only do they brighten a room up, but they also add a distinctive touch of elegance. They can be arranged in almost limitless styles, depending on your taste and the colours you want to use, perhaps to match or contrast with the decorative tone of a particular room.

Of course, there are downsides to having floral arrangements, and one of these can be cost. Depending on how many you want throughout your home, and the size of the bunches you want to use, you may find yourself spending more than you might at first expect. Of course, when they die, you will need to buy more to replace them. There is also a certain amount of maintenance needed to keep them looking fresh, such as changing the water they are set in, washing the vase and trimming the stems.

If you have a keen interest in flowers, then these will be familiar to you, and may not be such a problem. However, for people with less of an interest or understanding of plants, or perhaps people who want a beautiful floral arrangement in their home without having to maintain it, then artificial flowers are perfect.

GT Decorations stock a wide range of floral arrangements, featuring artificial recreations of a stunning selection of artificial flowers, ideal for any home. We also have arrangements for occasions, such as weddings, Christmas and Halloween. So if you want gorgeous, diverse arrangements without the maintenance and expense, visit GT Decorations today.

Bridal Bouquets That Last For Years

Posted on July 7, 2010 by gtdecorations

When it comes to celebrating a wedding, some people believe that it is all about tradition. Whether this involves something old, something new, or choosing a venue with some family history, it can be very important for some couples (and their relatives) to stay true to past weddings.

One tradition which is still popular is the bride tossing the bouquet to unmarried women at the end of the wedding, with the belief that whoever catches it will be the next to marry. Whether the happy couple decide to do this or not, there are other things they can do with the bouquet. If they have just one, they can keep it as a reminder. If they opt for more, they can present them to both sets of parents or bridesmaids. This can, of course, be an expensive prospect, so many people choose to purchase artificial flowers, which are not only cheaper, but last longer too.

Artificial flowers can be kept for long, long after the happy day as a reminder, requiring no maintenance, unlike natural ones. Artificial flowers will also cause less of a mess whilst being carried throughout the day, and, if they are thrown to the unmarried women at the end of the day, artificial flowers will suffer less damage when caught, ensuring that it can be kept as a keepsake until their own big day. At GT Decorations, we provide a vast range of artificial bouquets at fantastic prices – which will make a beautiful addition to your big day.

Sprucing Up Your Business With Artificial Flowers

Posted on June 23, 2010 by gtdecorations

Appearance counts for an awful lot in business for a variety of reasons. One of the biggest factors is morale – it can be disconcerting for staff to work in a sterile building with little colour to brighten their day.

Plants are one solution to this problem, and can give a fresh, organic feel to an office. But cost is another factor to consider. Can you afford to keep changing your plants every month or so to keep things fresh, or spare the man hours watering every piece of plant life in the building?

Our artificial flowers can provide a fantastic solution. One way to brighten up the office without having to constantly change the scenery is with silk flowers that are attractive and colourful, without breaking the bank.

We can provide arrangements and mixed bunches of silk flowers for your business that will really stand out and make a difference within your office space. The majority of our products are made from synthetic fabrics and feel beautiful on the skin thanks to their soft properties.

Most orders for artificial flowers are dispatched on the same day they are ordered and are also able to deliver overseas. Our artificial flowers aren’t just for businesses either – they can give a wonderful impression to your customers when they enter your hotel, Bed and Breakfast, theatre, bar or restaurant.

We can suggest customisation options if you’re unsure of how your artificial flowers should look to achieve their maximum potential, and you can contact us today at GT Decorations through our website.
