Are silk flowers actually made of silk?

No, surprisingly, silk flowers are typically not made of silk. Instead, artificial flowers are crafted from a blend of durable synthetic fabrics. These materials give them a lifelike appearance and ensure they stay beautiful for a long time with minimal upkeep.

How do you recognize high-quality silk flowers?

Want to make sure you're picking the best quality silk flowers? Here are a few handy tips:

The crinkle test: Gently squeeze the flower. Do you hear a crinkling sound? Unfortunately, that means it’s a lower-quality flower. High-quality flowers feel soft and don’t make any noise.

Feel: At Bloom & Wolf, many flowers feature a real-touch layer, which means they not only look lifelike but feel that way too.

Inspect the stem: A high-quality stem looks just as realistic as a natural flower stem. It has fine details like small hairs, thorns, or imperfections. If you notice obvious seams or paint streaks, it’s a sign of lower quality.

Why should I choose silk flowers over fresh flowers?

The biggest advantage of silk flowers is that you’re not limited by seasons. You can combine any type of flower, regardless of the time of year, giving you endless creative freedom to create stunning arrangements.

Another major benefit is that silk flowers stay beautiful for a long time with no hassle. They require almost no maintenance—no more smelly, dirty vases or wilted flowers. They also tend to stay dust-free for months, and if they do get dusty, you can easily remove it by gently blowing them with a cool hair dryer.
