Frequently Asked Questions “Shh..Artificial Actually!”  Please call us at the studio: 01453 847475 Site by Survive Design Why would I want Faux Flowers? We always have fresh flowers. We love Fresh Flowers too and have worked with them for 25 years but over the last half decade the quality and botanical correctness of Faux Flowers has blown us away. We use specialist manufacturers who we trust to always deliver perfect blooms and foliage...Every time. Are Faux Flowers environmentally friendly? Fresh flowers are flown in daily from growers in all parts of the world, usually to the European auction houses, and then transported by road, rail and air again all over Europe and the UK which leaves a heavy carbon footprint for such a short shelf life. Faux flowers are manufactured in many countries, including the UK and Europe, but have a shelf life of many years. Infact, with care they will last ten years or more. Why should I want to hire? Because our stock levels are so high with hundreds of gorgeous containers in Glass, Pottery, Ceramic, Wood and Metal and the seasonal Floral range so extensive - not to mention all the trimmings of Mosses, Beading, Fabrics, Wire and Stones and the wonderful lady who makes delightful hand crafted pieces for our themed events throughout the year - each piece has a value far exceeding the hire price. Which of course doesn’t matter because they all come back to the studio for our designers to strip, check, clean and pick from again. We wouldn’t dream of tying a client into a contract (horrible idea). Some clients dip in and out of the service, others use us every week. All we ask is that the designs are cared for so the material is available for everyone to enjoy. What additional benefits would I gain from Faux Flowers? Our flowers will sit in that gloomy dark corner, are not bothered by high temperatures. We supply them to a private swimming pool and spa at 30 degrees and humid! Bright sunshine or the cold and draft wont bother them and, of course, no sneezes for the unfortunate allergy sufferer, staff or visitor. Best of all they always look perfect. No wilting, no cloudy water and tide marks and no droopy petals. A good reflection of the health of your business. What is this going to cost me? We don’t charge a hire fee per item. After visiting the premises we would mutually agree a weekly charge which fits comfortably with the requirement needed and that we would be able to provide on a regular basis. Frequently orders change but because we have an agreed price to work to in advance this makes no difference. Try us, we will surprise you!
