The advantages
✓ As beautiful as nature
Offered exclusively by Flora Magnifica, our high-end fabric flowers give a perfect illusion, both to the eye and to the touch. Flora Magnifica flowers can be used in all environments: darkness, heat, cold, draft, air conditioning, altitude, sea... They are perennial and can be used many times in new compositions and combined with natural flowers.
✓ Custom-made bouquets
Flora Magnifica is not a bouquet factory. All our arrangements are uniquely designed taking into account your personal preferences, company identity, environment and vase.
✓ No maintenance effort
Flora Magnifica compositions are delivered ready-made in their vase, no need to cut or arrange the stems, nor to remove the leaves or thorns. Flora Magnifica flowers do not wilt, rot or become smelly.
Ideal for our customers who don't have a green thumb!
Tip: a touch of Hairdryer on its coolest setting works wonders for removing dust when needed.
✓ Non-allergenic and hygienic
Natural flowers can pose a problem for people with a hypersensitive immune system. They can also carry mold, which can pose a problem in environments where hygiene is important. Flora Magnifica fabric floral arrangements offer a very popular alternative.
✓ Less environmental impact
Consumers, increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of their purchases, are now turning to long-lasting and sustainable products, recyclable and less polluting. It is with this in mind that many of our customers come to Flora Magnifica.
Although natural flowers are biodegradable, they often contain chemicals used to grow and preserve them. These products pollute the land where flowers grow and degrade, and can affect the health of flower growers and buyers. (Télérama 11/13/2018)
The majority of flowers come from foreign countries from where they are shipped by plane around the world every day of the year to then be distributed by trucks.
✓ More economical in the long term
Bouquets of natural flowers, often expensive, rarely last more than 5 to 6 days. They therefore require a substantial budget all year round. Flora Magnifica with its fabric flowers and artificial plants and trees provide real savings in the long term.
Advantages
✓ Fresh for as long as you want
Flora Magnifica only offers exclusive top-end silk flowers that mimic natural flowers best. They feature natural coloring nuances and increasingly, touch-realism. You will rarely find our quality and range of flowers in other shops. Scented candles and sticks can add floral fragrance if desired.
Flora Magnifica flowers can be used in difficult environments: dark, hot, cold, draft, air-conditioning, altitude, maritime, ...
They can be stored away for a while or re-used in other compositions, even natural.
✓ Made to measure for your interior
Flora Magnifica is not a bouquet factory. All arrangements are uniquely styled taking into account personal preferences, corporate identity, the context of placement and vase.
We prefer to visit your interior in advance but can also work off photos.
Flora Magnifica uses flowers and greenery from all seasons to differentiate from “much of the same” elsewhere.
✓ Require no effort
Flora Magnifica compositions are delivered ready-made in their vase, so you don't need to cut stems, remove leaves and thorns or arrange stems.
Flora Magnifica flowers do not wilt, rot and become smelly. There’s no water to refresh and there is no pruning or cleaning to be done. Flora Magnifica arrangements are a time-saver.
Even though most flowers have had anti-static treatment, an arrangement may need to be dusted from time to time (just as the other objects in your interior). This is easily done with a quick once-over with a hair-dryer on lower temperature or with canned anti-static air as used for electronics. You can also use an old blush brush or a damp cloth.
✓ Non-allergenic and hygienic
Natural flowers can be a problem for those with increased hypersensitivity of the immune system. They can also be the bearers of mold which can pose a problem in settings where hygiene is important. Regularly changed Flora Magnifica silk flower arrangements offer a much-appreciated alternative.
✓ Recyclable and far less polluting
Although natural flowers are biodegradable, they often contain chemicals that have been used to grow and preserve them. These chemicals pollute the land on which the flowers grow and degrade, and can affect the health of flower growers and buyers. (Télérama 13/11/2018)
The majority of flowers originate in foreign countries from where they are air-freighted all over the world every day of the year for further distribution by trucks.
It is arguable that recyclable silk flowers bulk-transported around the world by sea-cargo impact the world's resources less than the far higher volume, non-stop, temperature controlled high-speed distribution systems for perishable flowers.
✓ More affordable
As in other places in the world, natural flowers are becoming expensive in Paris. Bouquets rarely last for more than 5-6 days, so year-round floral decoration requires a substantial budget.
Flora Magnifica offers silk flowers and artificial plants and trees that will save lots compared to a yearly budget for natural flowers, not counting the time (and money) saved no longer maintaining natural flowers.
✓ Support a local floral artist and the community
The concept of offering top quality silk flowers, plants and trees, and bespoke silk flower arrangements add diversity to the local community’s marketplace and something different to your interior. Support Flora Magnifica so that uniqueness is preserved for the community.
Contribute to improving the local community by buying from independent local artists instead of (inter)national chains that spend their income elsewhere.
It reflects well on you to tell others that you are supporting a local artist instead of (not) telling them that you buy from a chain.
When you personally know the person behind a local business you enjoy a connection you would otherwise not have. You get a better, more personalized level of service.
