Faux/artificial flowers have changed considerably over the years. There is such a choice now although the quality can vary wildly. At Timeless Florals we only use the highest quality flowers and foliage, our aim is to fool everyone into thinking they are real! We want your flowers to look as natural as possible giving you beautiful floral designs within your budget.
Why choose faux flowers from Timeless Florals for your wedding?
There are many reasons to chooses faux/artificial flowers from us. Let’s look at a few:
- Many couples suffer from allergies such as hay fever. Your flowers whether a bouquet, centre piece, top table arrangement or buttonhole are close to you for most of your wedding day. With faux flowers you don’t have to worry about you or your guests sneezing through the ceremony or speeches!
- Our Summers are getting warmer, your faux flowers will look as good at the end of the day as they did at the beginning and no wilting!
- The hug test. This applies to anyone wearing buttonholes or corsages! There’s lots of hugging going on at weddings, however hard your favourite Auntie squeezes you, your buttonhole will not be crushed.
- Because you’re hiring your flowers costs can be anything from a third to half of the cost of fresh flowers allowing you more money to spend on other lovely details (have a look at our Suppliers page where you’ll find some of our fabulous supplier friends who can help you spend everything you’ve saved by hiring your flowers!). We now offer the opportunity to purchase a keepsake bouquet which will contain the elements of your floral designs for you to cherish forever.
- Destination weddings. Faux flowers travel beautifully so you stay in control and know exactly what your bouquet looks like at your dream destination wedding!
- You can design your own bouquets and arrangements. Once you have booked a consultation you will be asked to send some of your ideas across so we can make sure we have your colours and chosen blooms ready. We will then design your florals together, no packages here! We offer a bespoke service so even if you choose a design from one of our collections, we will ensure your flowers are as individual as you are.
- Your flowers will be created by a trained florist with years of experience. Amanda who owns Timeless Florals originally trained as a fresh florist and now specialises in arranging faux flowers and foliage so your wedding flowers will be in safe, experienced hands!
- Sustainability – faux flowers have a surprisingly low carbon footprint and can be used time and time again. We are committed to reducing our carbon footprint and encourage our couples to choose foam free arrangements where possible. When we do use foam, we use a foam which starts to degrade after a year and not the usual 100 years. Timeless Florals is currently switching from the old-style foam to the new bio foam. The old foam is not going to landfill but is being used to line the base of flowerpots in Amanda’s garden!! Flowers and foliage which are no longer good enough for weddings will be made into beautiful bouquets and donated to local care homes and churches. We also recycle all cardboard and plastic where possible and make eco bricks which can be used in the foundations of buildings. (If you fancy trying this just keep old plastic bottles with the lid and fill with all those wrappings and plastic which aren’t recyclable – a wooden spoon handle is great to shove them in with!). Have a look at https://www.ecobricks.org/ for more details.
We thought it would be a good idea to ask some of our lovely couples why they chose Timeless Florals, so here’s what they thought in their own words.
Timeless Couples
Jules and Michael – May 2019
Michael and I were married on the 25th May 2019 at the Cliff Hotel, Gorleston.
We decided to visit the fantastic wedding show they’d put on at the hotel and were so lucky to see Timeless Florals exhibiting.
Amanda was so welcoming, friendly and listened to all our ideas and the flowers she had displayed were simply beautiful.
The variety and quality were amazing and we both knew there and then that Amanda was the florist for us.
We were really looked after by Amanda and her experience and knowledge is second to none. Our flowers were absolutely stunning on our special day, with our guests not even realising they were artificial.
We would most definitely recommend Timeless Florals to any bride and grooms planning their special day.
Kelvin and Richard – February 2020
Richard and I decided on artificial flowers for our wedding for two main reasons. Firstly, we loved the idea that the flowers after our day, would be reused and be able to bring joy to others. When I see ‘real’ flowers cut and arranged I can’t help but feel their beauty is already fading. Very soon they will be gone. Artificial flowers keep their beauty and as was clearly seen on our day are as good at the end of the night as they were when we first saw them.
Secondly, we were married on 29th February 2020 at the Royal Assembly Rooms, Great Yarmouth, and by using artificial flowers we were also not limited in the choice of our flowers by the time of the year. We had a whole pallet of colours to choose from.
We had seen examples of arrangements by Timeless Florals on social media and our wedding planner highly recommended them when I suggested we were going to use them.
Having made an appointment, we attended and very quickly we were aware Amanda was exactly what we needed as our florist. We briefly explained our needs and immediately Amanda was suggesting blooms, arrangements and colour schemes.
At no point did we feel rushed, the whole process was unbelievably painless. Nothing was too much for Amanda and by the time we left we were both very happy we had made the right choices both in using Timeless Florals and confident we were in safe hands.
On our wedding day Richard and I were delighted with the flowers from Amanda & Timeless Florals, they struck the exact note we were hoping to achieve. Everyone commented on the table centre pieces. They were stunning and the idea from Amanda of using high stands meant they didn’t interrupt conversations at the tables.
Our wedding was 12 weeks in planning, and we had the perfect day. Helped greatly by the smooth confident efficiency of all our dealings with Amanda at Timeless Florals. Everything was as promised and better than we could have wished for. We have no hesitation in recommending Timeless Florals. From start to finish everything went smoothly. Thank you so much
Such kind words and we are truly grateful to both lovely couples – thank you.
So, there we go….so many reasons to choose faux flowers for your wedding or event. We would love to hear from you and can’t wait to talk about all your lovely floral ideas.
We look forward to hearing from you soon!
Much love
Amanda xxx
