Artificial Florals
Custom Creation Guide
Style
What describes your decor style - country, traditional, contemporary, natural,
simple, or full and complex? What kind of flowers do you like to use -- wild and
natural, cultivated and delicate, home-grown, or tropical? Describe to us your
furnishings, window treatments, wall decor or other major focal points in the
room you'll be using this arrangement. Look through our sample photos and find
something that you like -- even if it isn't what you want to order, it will give
us an idea of your tastes and preferences. If you have a photo from a magazine
or online catalog, or even a sketch of your own, we can use it to duplicate a
customized product for you.
Color
Do you like a mix of many complementary colors, strong contrasting colors, or do
you prefer a tonal mix of the same colors? One color, two, three, or more? The
best way to get an exact color match is to provide a sample. But, remember,
exact matching may not be possible. We can promise a close and complimentary
tonal match. We often suggest using a variety of shades of the desired color
which is actually a very natural and eye-pleasing solution!
Imagine a solid color bouquet in front of a solid color wall, couch or dress --
both in the exact same color. The flowers will blend right in and become
invisible. Consider a lighter or darker shade -- or a mix of shades to accentuate
and compliment, rather than blend and fade. If everything in the room is exactly
the same tone, shade or color, nothing will stand out and make a statement. One
customer professed, "The only statement this room makes is 'blah!'" Even though
it was filled with many lovely and expensive items, her colors were too much
alike. Adding a few touches of another color (we used yellow-gold pottery and
red flowers in a sage colored room), really livened up the room and made her
other pieces become noticeable.
Texture, density and shape
Flowers and arrangements can be smooth, even, spiky, wispy, compact, or airy.
What are your favorite flowers, regardless of color? Arrangements can be
columnar, fan-shaped, tight and compact or have long trailing pieces. They can
be designed with a definite front and back or to be viewed from all sides.
Size & Container
Where will this piece be used? Will it be a focal point or an accent piece?
How big is the table, wall or door it will be placed on? How high are the
ceilings? How full is the room? What other items will be placed around or near
the arrangement? Do you want the container to be part of the overall image? If
so, then what kind of container needs to be found?
Accessories
Do you like the use of either ribbons or raffia? Would you like a bow in or on
the arrangement? If you like ribbon and it fits your decor, it can be used in
other ways besides or in addition to a bow. It can be made into randomly place
loops, woven in or around the arrangement, added as streamers to trail down or
around the piece or used as a hanger for wall pieces. Similar things can be done
with wired beads, pearls, and colored metallic wires. And, there are butterflies
and birds and sometimes more to add if you like! Glitter words are lots of fun,
too. These are white, black and/or red glitter word ornaments, such as "It's a
Girl", "Happy Birthday", "Over the Hill", "Enjoy", "Thank you", "Faith", "Hugs"
and more that add fun and meaning to nearly any arrangement or gift.
