Floral Story: How to lift up your interior...Instantly!
floral6

Whether gracing a table for a party or simply adding a bit of color to your bedside table, floral arrangements will breathe new life into any room. There is nothing quite like a gorgeous, fresh bouquet of flowers in a stunning vase to freshen the look of your interior, and to make you smile each time you walk by.

Flowers are a staple in our home, I'm from Europe, I just couldn't imagine not having a beautiful vase filled with flowers in our home each week. In the spring and summer, I'm lucky enough to be able to cut them from our own garden most weeks. Flowers add organic shape to your interior, and bring the outdoors in, softening the edges of the mostly angular furniture and decorative elements. Sometimes, clients have problems keeping fresh flowers in their homes.

This is where beautiful faux arrangements are a life saver! These work well for areas where there is not enough light for real flowers, or for rooms that would look lively with a floral arrangement but you don't have the time to keep fresh flowers and changing the water regularly. At FrenchGardenHouse, we create a small collection of silk arrangements for each season in our own studio.

Our specialty is designing quality, high style classic floral designs using unique antique and vintage containers, one of a kind inspiring accents for your home that will be the center of attention in your decor. We use only the finest floral and botanical silk flowers, in life~like colors for our discriminating customers.

Our collection of faux flower arrangements are designed to look very realistic and botanically-correct. Spectacularly arranged in a vintage Metal Trophy Urn, {1940's} this soft and luxurious centerpiece is resplendent with creamy White Roses, Blue Hydrangeas, Pink Stock and Waxflowers, French Purple Fieldflowers and vividly contrasting green leaves. Exuberant and expressive, this one of a kind arrangement will welcome you home in your entrance hall, set a stunning table in the dining room, or light up our guest bathroom.

Large Garden Roses in luscious Lavender Pink, deep Purple and Pink Hydrangeas, Chartreuse Green Wildflowers and a variety of foliage fill this stone aged Urn. Designed to appear to be an arrangement of flowers cut from your garden.
