Description
This is an artificial bouquet in cream, built around a large dahlia-style flower head with smaller hydrangea-style florets, fern fronds, leafy eucalyptus-style sprigs and fine sprays of tiny blossom. It stands 46cm tall and 23cm across, a generous handful of stems rather than a single spray, and it comes wrapped in paper and tied at the stems, ready to give as it is or to unwrap and arrange. Apart from its paper wrap, the bouquet is 80% polyester, 10% iron and 10% polyethylene, and it weighs just 0.09KG.
Because it needs no water, it suits the places where fresh flowers tend to be forgotten: a windowsill, a mantelpiece, a bookshelf, a hallway console or a bedside table. The soft cream tones sit quietly against pale walls and natural textures, so it settles easily into a calm living room, a bedroom or a study. At 0.09KG it is light enough for a narrow shelf or a wall-mounted ledge. Left in its paper wrap, it makes a gift that will not wilt, whether for a birthday, a housewarming or a simple thank you.
Before use, the maker asks for the stems to be trimmed and folded into place, so you can cut them to the height your vase needs and bend each stem until the arrangement sits right. Handle it gently, as the maker notes that the leaves and flower heads can break. For styling, choose a vase with a fairly narrow neck so the stems stay gathered, and turn the largest flower head towards the room. The styling props shown are not included.
