Flowers make every room look more inviting. But having flowers in every room is impractical for most. But we think everyone deserves more flowers in their home and workspace. Thats why we created a line of flowers that are:
- Eco Conscious/sustainable
- Highest quality and on trend
- Low-no allergen
-
Easy to use/Vase included
- Practical and Affordable
Current options for long-lasting flowers
The most obvious substitute for fresh cut flowers is artificial but these have their own drawbacks. Primarily made from plastic, they end up in landfills and even quality blooms are easily identified as “fake” flowers.
What's more, some traditional dried flower arrangements look stiff and dated. Dominated by brown tones, they lack the vibrancy and movement of fresh flowers.
Preserved flowers tend to be limited to one variety, roses, and because they have no stems, can't be arranged like fresh flowers, so they too have limitations.
Real Flowers Every Day Long lasting flowers are sustainable and allergen free providing more options to incorporate flowers into everyday life as well as special occasions.
Our flowers are:
- Sustainable: Dried flowers are 100% natural products and leave no carbon footprint. Our orchid plants are grown in a California nursery and can bloom again with proper care.
- Eco Conscious: The pandemic highlighted the fragility of the floral industry as consumers become more aware of waste. The industry endured chaos as shipments languished and died in ports, events were canceled, and brides became frantic. A vulnerable supply system and unprecedented demand helped dried, preserved and artificial flowers gain market share and trial with younger buyers in recent years.
- On trend: As dried and preserved flowers became more mainstream, tastes mature, and consumers want and appreciate more sophisticated designs. I visit the San Francisco Flower Mart to view the latest floral trends and incorporate those designs into our collections.
- The highest quality: I carefully select each plant and inspect it. Only the highest quality plants and flowers are in our collection, because we know you’ll have the arrangement for weeks or months, not days.
- Our dried and preserved flowers can be enjoyed by everyone as they are low-no allergen and pollen-free.
- Ease of use. With no water or light requirements, dried plants can be anywhere indoors, even dark basements or hard to reach locations and require little care. They do not tolerate intense sun or heat. Orchids require very little water and last for months.
- Vase Included: We believe the vase is the defining part of the arrangement. It is selected with care to properly display each type of flower, in fact, some flowers have as many as four options for a vase, which can completely change the mood of the arrangement.
- Engaging: While drying flowers is an ancient art, many dried bouquets lack the vibrancy and color of fresh flowers. Relying on the principles of Ikebana flower arrangement, I create designs that showcase the beauty of individual flowers rather than mass. I also incorporate fresh flowers that dry well, lavender and eucalyptus to add luminosity where appropriate.
- Practical: Along with thrift, dried/preserved flowers appeal to younger generations who recycle and shop in resale stores. Each blossom was grown in soil and meticulously preserved, to live it's "second life" if you will and be enjoyed in your home or office.
- Often tinted or dyed, dried and preserved flowers come in an unlimited range of colors and can be customized for your interior.
