How To Use Spring Silk Flowers To Get Rid Of The Winter Blues
Many years ago people only used silk flowers if they really, really had to as a last resort. But today the range of silk flowers is absolutely superb. Silk flowers are often mistaken for the real thing, and that says something for the silk flower industry.
SILK SPRING FLOWERS BRIGHTEN UP YOUR LIFE
Colourful silk roses can brighten up a room during the middle of winter (I know, they are not in season), and you can pretend that you are a famous film star and have had fresh roses imported in at the drop of a hat.
I always think that silk flowers have a definite place in the colder climates where it is so hard to have some nice cheering colour around during the winter months.
WELCOME IN SPRING WITH A SILK ARRANGEMENT
The end of January is a time when it is a great to put out a bowl of spring flowers. To do this, of course, you are going to have to have a silk flower arrangement. The spring flowers that will help you get rid of the winter blues are: tulips, hyacinths, crocus and daffodils.
Fresh spring flowers are beautiful, but unfortunately their live span is not too long, and the season is also very short. If you treat yourself to some quality silk spring flowers you will have them year after year. Brush them off after each use, store them in a plastic bag in a box and they will look new for the next year.
Colour association has a huge affect on how we view life. The bright sunny colours of spring flowers make us think of sunny weather, outdoor living, beaches, summer holidays and the like.
ADD LIME GREEN IN WITH SPRING FLOWERS
A colour that looks so sexy with yellow daffodils is lime green. Daffodils can look lovely in a feature vase on their own, but in an arrangement, put them with some lime green leaves and they will look stunning.
If you do not have any lime green leaves, either real or artificial, use some lime green ribbon, or even some bright blue ribbon. You wont be sorry.
AND
If you don’t have either lime green leaves, or lime green ribbon, use a lime green vase. In fact, if you do like having flowers in the house, buy yourself a lime green vase. This colour goes with so many flowers and makes flower arrangements look so alive and inviting.
BE ECONOMICAL AND HAVE COLOUR
The best way is to buy 3 or 5 (never an even number), quality silk flowers. (With daffodils you would need more.) With these you can add some cheaper trimmings, even some dried branches collected from the beach or woods.
Keep several pieces of various shaped dried branches on hand. Try to choose something that has a bit of character: something that is very twirly and soft looking, or to the other extreme, something that is very straight and stark. Pieces of wood like this are very attractive when painted. For example, a piece of black painted wood compliments yellow daffodils.
By using different accessories with your flowers, you will always have something that looks different. Take care of your silk flowers each year and you will have them looking like new for the next time.
