Artificial Green Walls for an Urban Environment

In China, cherry blossom is seen as being a lucky flower and is also a sign of love and of course spring. This makes it a popular choice for decorating weddings, as it is a romantic flower that is all about new beginnings. This year there has been a trend in muted colours being used at weddings such as pink and brown, so cherry blossom ties into this trend perfectly.

If you want to use cherry blossom in your commercial or home décor, but want to watch your budget and have fuss-free flowers, then artificial cherry blossom is a stylish, environmentally friendly way to create and enjoy long-lasting Japanese style floral décor.

BloomsArt are feeling inspired already by the most illustrious horticultural event in the world. We are of course talking about the Royal Horticultural Society's Chelsea Flower Show, which features show gardens, floral displays, workshops and the latest in gardening gadgets, all over five fantastic days.

This year’s event will attract flower fans from all over the world to West London to see some of the most innovative garden designs in the world. It has 11 special show gardens, 6 artisan gardens and many of the world’s leading florists, who can be seen creating stunning floral décor in The Great Pavilion.

Beautiful purple, pink or white wisteria is the on-trend way to decorate your home or business. Dripping with romantic clusters of lilac, violet, pink or white flowers, it is a beautiful vine that can be used to recreate a French country garden feel to your business or home. Natural wisteria is a climbing plant that can be hard to take it care of, as it needs a lot of pruning. But a great alternative is BloomsArt artificial wisteria.

Our real touch wisteria looks just like the real thing but doesn’t fade under sunlight or wilt in bad weather. This means it is perfect for floral décor for commercial businesses. We have undertaken projects in London and in Paris, creating sumptuous floral arrangements for restaurants, cafes and boutiques. Wisteria can look stunning when twined around a tree, or a wooden archway, and will instantly make any courtyard, terrace or balcony look sunny and chic.

Modern faux greenery is realistic looking and easy to look after and manufactured to copy the texture and colour of the types of greenery you would see in nature. The kind of artificial greenery and flowers that can be found at BloomsArt is hyper-realistic and can be used to decorate any home or even garden.

A trend that we have been seeing a lot of recently, is for artificial topiary animals made from faux greenery. Professional florists who work with fake flowers and greenery are being asked to make fun, eye-catching garden animals from high-quality artificial greenery because it is a cost-effective, easy to care for way to enjoy some garden décor.

Fresh flowers and greenery look very pretty in pots but they can shrivel and die in very cold or very hot weather. Artificial greenery makes a great alternative for container gardens. Using silk flowers and greenery in pots, placed outside are trending this year, as they add beauty and colour to any outdoor space in London.

Use faux greenery carefully, for a natural, seamless effect. Take care to blend the plants in a loose, organic style. Mix different varieties of green plants, and twine the branches together so they look as though they have grown together. When placing your artificial plants make sure to place them in position in different heights, to add to the allusion that they have grown naturally.

With the cold of winter outside, adding a touch of gorgeous, colourful flowers around the home or office is a great way to lift spirits, and make any space feel more welcoming.

Fresh flowers look beautiful but sometimes it is not practical or cost-effective to use them in floral décor.

Feng Shui is used more and more when people design the interiors of their homes and businesses. But what is Feng Shui? It originated in China more than 3,000 years ago, and it translates to “Wind” and “Water”. Chinese culture associates water and wind with good fortune and health, so good Feng Shui is supposed to attract luck to your home.

Feng Shui includes elements of design, philosophy and astrology.

In 2017 BloomsArt saw an increase in demand for the English country garden look, with roses, hydrangeas and peonies as well as baby’s breath to replicate a ‘just picked from the garden’ look.

This style carried over into 2018, with many weddings opting for natural unstructured, almost naive floral designs with traditional British flowers. Popular colour schemes used peach, pale tangerine and apricot coloured flowers, as well as fake flowers with bi coloured petals. There has also been a shift towards blooms with generous sized flower heads such as larger headed anemones and multi-layered peonies. These have been a big hit with the Instagram crowd, as they make the perfect backdrop for selfies.

Green walls are trending right now, and are seen all over urban environments, but what exactly are they? They are also known as plant walls, vertical gardens or urban greening and can be free standing or attached to walls.

They differ from flower walls in that they are generally made from green plants, although flowers can be mixed in as well. They are vertical structures covered in plants that can be made from interlocking panels that are covered in greenery, and are a great way to introduce nature into urban surroundings. They can be made from fresh or fake plants, or even a mix of the two.
