At Bloom & Wolf, we often get asked why silk flowers cost more than cut flowers. Here’s an explanation.
Creating silk flowers is a complex and labor-intensive process. Each flower is carefully handcrafted, from shaping the petals to assembling and attaching them to the stems. This requires skill and precision. Additionally, silk flowers are made from high-quality materials designed to mimic the texture and color of real blooms, which contributes to their higher cost.

The combination of bouquet and vase also affects the pricing. At Bloom & Wolf, we pay close attention to these combinations. Our master florists carefully assemble each bouquet and ensure that everything is delivered ready-to-go. This manual work and attention to detail increase the costs.
While the initial price of silk flowers is higher than that of cut flowers, they are often more cost-effective in the long run. Silk flowers remain beautiful without wilting or requiring maintenance. Additionally, a silk flower subscription can be cost-saving: you always have a stunning bouquet at home and can easily swap it out whenever you wish. This way, you get both style and value for your money.
