đ¸Â General FAQs
What are the benefits of artificial flowers over fresh ones?
Our artificial wedding flowers are high-quality, everlasting, and allergy-friendly. Theyâre not limited by seasonal availability, photograph beautifully, and are yours to keep forever. Plus, thereâs no wilting or last-minute stress before your big day.
How long will my artificial flowers last?
Unlike regular flowers that wilt after a few days, everlasting flowers are in it for the long haul. With proper care, they can stay beautiful and fresh for years.
That means you can enjoy their beauty for a whole lot longer!
How do i keep my artificial flowers clean?
Don't worry, keeping your everlasting flowers clean is a piece of cake! Just give them a gentle dusting with a soft brush or use a hairdryer on a low, cool setting to remove any dust.
If your silk stems get out of shape, you can also use a garment steamer to bring them back to life.
No water or cleaning solutions needed!
