Why aren’t Gracefully Bloomed faux florals less expensive than fresh flowers? Here are a few things most people may not realize…
• Material costs are not cheap. Craft store stems? You won’t find them here. Many of my stems cost as much as— if not more than— its fresh flower equivalent.
• It takes time and searching to learn what sources I can trust. Not each supplier is equal, and that fact means I am always on the hunt for materials I can stand by.
• Design time is high. The prep alone takes hours. I have strongly worded thoughts for whoever decided faux flowers need plastic thorns on the stems.
• The ability to design something beautiful comes not only from time and practice, but learning as well. There is time and money spent educating myself on how to be a deliver better.
• There’s a decade of expertise going into each design here. Knowing how to make faux look natural, intentional, and elevated is a specialized skill.
If you’ve ever wondered why my faux floral design is priced the way it is— why I’m not using “budget friendly” as a selling point, I hope this helps. That it gives you a little window into the process, and the heart behind the magic.
