Our Autumn Winter Flower Wall Range – A closer look at Black Magic

A kind of… Black Magic

For this blog post we will be delving more into some of the key looks and inspirations behind our newly launched Autumn/Winter flower wall range, and what better floral backdrop to start with than our stunning Black Magic Flower Wall.

We think blacks and grays are synonymous with the colder months, and they are often used as accent colors in events and weddings with very specific themes, but we think they can hold their own in a flower wall too!

Grey has been one of the hues of the year and will stay around for a while, thanks to its perfectly modern and fresh twist on being a neutral tone. We’ve woven this shade into many of our walls recently, including one our most popular ever designs, the  Petra Flower Wall.

Winter conjures images of berries, and twigs in frosty, silvery and white shades with undertones of black and creams, and we’ve loved mixing the high end luxury flowers into this flower wall – this peony in particular is a larger than life luxe bloom with over 70 different ruffles and layers of silk. We hand selected what we call ‘statement flowers’ to add into this floral backdrop to distinguish it from other cream based floral walls we’ve seen.

As always with a floral backdrop from The Flower Wall Company, the focus is on intricate detailing and a Western, evolved look, we aim for a real look which we think we deliver on, especially with Black Magic. Included in this wall are:

  • High replica peony heads that are over 12cm wide and 10cm deep with nearly 70 layers of silk
  • 4 other kinds of peony
  • 5 kinds of rose
  • Real touch hydrangea
  • Simulation acacia berries
  • Calla Lillies
  • Orchids
  • Simulation white twig foliage
  • Pale green simulation lambs ear

We think the .overall color scheme of blacks, dusky grays, creamy whites, pale green foliage and ivories create a spectacular effect for a versatile event and wedding flower wall.

Packed full of blush, dusky pink, and cream roses, peonies and wisteria, what we love about this flower wall is how 3D it looks, and how delicate the color scheme is.

Our Value Flower Wall Range….Cheap or luxury?

Our Value Flower Wall Range….Cheap or luxury?

Can a flower wall ever be both? Hmm, we’re not so sure!

Since we launched our Value Flower Wall Range last month we’ve been super busy with orders from customers who will not only be adding the wall to their portfolio of rentals, but also from private clients who will be using the wall for the own personal use at events such as weddings or baby showers. When prices start from 895USD, we can see why – it’s a competitive price compared to some day rentals!

cheap flower wall blush flower wall hire floral backdrop london melbourne sydney perth new york blush flower blush flower wall

 

But one thing we can’t help but notice, is how our Value Range looks a lot like what fellow flower wall vendors describe as ‘luxury’ or ‘bespoke’.

We like to think we’re pretty open and honest at The Flower Wall Company, and we created our Value Range specifically for those brides on a budget who want a flower wall at a lower price, but with our years or experience, we think we are ok to say that as gorgeous as this range is, it isn’t ‘luxury’ or ‘high end’. And there is nothing wrong with that! But let’s be mindful about using those words.

cheap flower wall blush flower wall hire floral backdrop london melbourne sydney perth new york blush flower blush flower wall

We’ve said before luxury is a relative term, but we can’t help but think some other flower walls are being mislabeled and misdescribed. Now that is wrong!

Not all flower walls are made equal, designed equal, or look equal, so how can they all be described as luxury, high end, or bespoke? It’s a question we have been pondering recently and will definitely be delving into in the future on this very blog!

cheap flower wall blush flower wall hire floral backdrop london melbourne sydney perth new york blush flower blush flower wall

                                                                                                                                  From 895USD

 

How do our Value Walls differ from the rest of our range?

Most of our other flower walls use at least 10 different types of flowers – some use over 50 separate pieces – that means different species, size, color and material. Initially we used so many as we quickly realized that the best flower walls are the ones that look real, and in real life, no two flowers are the same, so we try to replicate that idea in our backdrops. Our Value Range only uses a around 5 different blooms, but what we still do is hand arrange the flowers into a western style arrangement and color scheme, and we still do it in our way that means you can reuse the wall tens if not hundreds of times – we build our walls not to fall apart.

Our Value Range is also not 3D as the flowers we use are all similar heights, but the blooms are still high quality imitation florals, and we still use over 100 per panel. We firmly believe the blooms in our Value Range are better quality than some of the other flowers we’ve seen in walls on social media touted as ‘luxury’ – such as the flower wall below.

        Flowers in this flower wall do not meet our standards! (This is NOT our work!)

Being in China means we get to see so many new flowers each day, and there are ones we simply refuse to use as they don’t meet our high standards….actually quite a lot are rejected, usually for being low grade material or not well designed. You can see from this image, which is promoted as ‘luxury’ that our Value Range is taking no prisoners when it comes to how amazing it is!

                                                      Gaping and haphazard arrangement are not for us! (This is NOT our work!)

We look at flower walls all day every day, so it’s easy for us to see the comparisons and quality. When purchasing online, it can be hard to see the difference of price over value, and a lot of time is probably spent reading the descriptions of products, but we are saying enough with the superlatives! Own the product you sell – we are upfront and honest about our Value Range. The colors and arrangement are beautiful, but is it as evolved and life like as say our Aninia Flower Wall? No. Does it mean a flower wall from our Value Range will look any less stunning at an event? No, not at all. But as everyone has a different amount to spend, we wanted to offer all potential customers a choice and we wanted to show our customers that our Value Range competes directly in price with what other companies call luxurious, but definitely not in style. Our Value Range is light years ahead in that department!

Our Flower Wall Value Range currently has 5 designs, and we planning on adding more soon.

Not all flower walls are created equal.

We’ve blogged before about who’s who in the flower wall world and why we are just that little bit different, we even speak about it on our online store – and as we’ve gotten more and more orders for high end floral backdrops, something a client in London said to us really stood out – not all flower walls are created equal!

It really resonated with us, as the past year we’ve been working really hard to develop more realistic, wow flower walls to show the expertise, design and skill we put into floral backdrops. We know budgets and expectations vary from country to country, but we’re really surprised at the increase in the basic flower walls from places like Alibaba being resold as high end, luxury, and even as companies own work. We think the flower wall industry should be moving forward, be more transparent, and of course be moving away from this kind of design.

We believe here at The Flower Wall Company we are leading the way in the in depth styling and fast reactions to trends. Even as our Summer Sale kicks off, we are still receiving orders for and creating full price gorgeous flower walls that are totally designed to wow.

Over 40 different components go into our Aninia Flower Wall

 

We worked on another Aninia Flower Wall recently, which was actually created as an extension for a customer in Melbourne for their existing Aninia which means Victoria brides and event planners will have an amazing 6m wall to rent. Super lucky if you are in Melbourne!

When we posted pictures of this wall to our Facebook page a few weeks ago, we were inundated with messages asking if it was real or not – to us, that is the biggest compliment we can receive! Creating this new style of wall takes experience and passion. We’ve said before we are a small, international team with a background in design and florsitry, and we think that puts us at the forefront to create some of the best quality flower walls you can purchase. We aren’t limited to blooms made by one factory, or playing catch up with designs and quality, we are at the front, pushing our suppliers to create better florals in colors we want.

Soon we will be launching our new Autumn/Winter range, and we will definitely be focusing on this sort of style, and we can’t wait to share our new designs with you!

July Flower Wall of the Month, inspired by Frost, Blush and Boysenberry

Happy July! We can’t  believe we are already over half way through the year, where has the time gone? You’d maybe think  in the middle of summer we would be focusing on bright colors, but for our July Flower Wall of the Month, we have begun to incorporate the Fall & Winter colors that will be on trend this season.

It’s around this time our lovely corporate, hotel, fashion and retail clients start to place their orders for their autumn/winter backdrops, so we decided to create something for our private and small business customers that is in a similar styling and color scheme so everyone can indulge in the beautiful color schemes of the moment.

According to wedding giant The Knot, one of the major color combos this year will be Frost, Blush and Boysenberry. Blush is a super versatile color no matter the season for events or weddings, but we love the addition of frost and boysenberry. Classy, regal colors that also look super modern and fresh.

So with this stunning color palette in mind, we have created our July Flower Wall of the Month! Our Flower Wall of the Month promotion is a fantastic opportunity to purchase a floral backdrop with a discount and we try to vary the color and styling each month to keep giving you something fresh and interesting to add to your rental portfolio.

Our latest creation, with an amazing 20% off for the month of July is a gorgeous blush, grey, pink, and wine red color mix with real touch succulents and foliage. Over 25 different pieces are in this design, from small 1cm succulents, to big roses to statement dahlias and you have an elegant, on trend flower wall.

The wall features:

  • 7 different roses
  • 2 different peonies
  • 2 different dahlias
  • Berries
  • 2 kinds of real touch succulents
  • Real touch anemones
  • Real touch foliage
  • Other sprigs and leaves

We love the deep wine red and purple colors of this wall that sit perfectly next to the blush and grays. Super unique and on trend for Fall/Winter 2017/18.

We’ve not seen a styling like this anywhere else and are proud to debut this design, we are totally in love! As always we focus on high end replica walls, but our Luxe Range takes this to a new level. The flowers are all at different heights, creating an ultra 3D wall which only adds to it’s life like aesthetic. The handiwork and attention detail, as well as the high end replica blooms are what elevates this floral backdrop to a Luxe Wall.

As we always say, we don’t resell mass produced flower walls under the guise of doing it ourselves, we are creating these beautiful backdrops in our workshop using the only the best flowers for budgets and taste.

Roses are….Ruby! – A closer look at our Miss Ruby Flower Wall

Roses are….Ruby! – A closer look at our Miss Ruby Flower Wall

Don’t get us wrong, we love creating cream and blush flower walls, but sometimes you need a little color to spice up weddings and events, and what more perfect way to do that than with our Miss Ruby Flower Wall.

What we love about Miss Ruby is the intricate detailing and multi layered effect that comes from using over 25 different kinds of flower. We’ve proudly said before that we are not a factory, nor do we use the low quality blooms from Chinese e-commerce wholesale sites. We hand select pieces from over 15 different suppliers to create stunning, realistic looking flower walls. We don’t outsource, we don’t resell, we create these beautiful floral backdrops in our workshop.

We love the magenta hanging orchids in this flower wall, they sit perfectly in contrast to the strong reds in roses and hydrangea behind it. Red can be tricky to photograph, but with the right camera and expertise you can highlight all of the gorgeous flowers that have gone in to this wall.

We can’t wait to see this Miss Ruby Flower Wall in action and all of the gorgeous images that come with it!

Miss Ruby is available to purchase directly on our online store in our three most popular sizes, or you can purchase a sample for a small fee. As always we accept custom size requests, simply drop us an email with your requirements and we will be happy to provide you with a quotation!

A Flower Wall for a good cause – 2017 Spirit Of Life Award Luncheon & Fashion Show.

In Love With Lilac! The perfect pale purple flower wall

In Love With Lilac! The perfect pale purple flower wall

At first thought you might not think a pale purple flower wall with hints of blush, mauve and dusky pink could be a versatile choice for wedding and events, but we think it fits perfectly with many of this season’s hot trends for gatherings and party plans.

                                                      Our In Love With Lilac Flower Wall 

Baby showers, proms and formals, kitchen tea’s and bachelorette parties are all perfect for a color focused flower wall that keeps it light, fun yet still elegant.

Our In Love With Lilac flower wall features 8 types of rose as well as peonies and orchids, all perfectly blended and hand placed for a gorgeous looking floral backdrop with minimal gaping and absolutely no mass produced low quality blooms.

 

Whilst we love the pale cream, white and blush walls that are super popular, we think every now and again adding color in to the mix can be a refreshing change of pace for the flower wall world. In Love With Lilac is a pre designed flower wall available to purchase directly at our online store, but as always you can contact us for custom sizing and alterations.

Amazing fade in a custom ombre flower wall

We love the ombre trend for wedding and events! The fade effect that never fails to get people talking is here to stay and recently, we absolutely loved creating a custom ombre flower wall for a client in Australia.

Pinterest is full of gorgeous images inspiring people worldwide on how to work this trend into their wedding or event. What we love so much about ombre is that you can incorporate almost any colors you want and make them look like a seamless heavenly blend of hues. Here are some of our favorite ombre images!

Our latest ombre creation

With all these gorgeous inspo images around, it’s no surprise to us that we’ve been creating custom ombre walls for nearly four years. (We’re not sure when a trend actually becomes a mainstay, but we think ombre is around to stay!). Our most recent creation has been for a wonderful client in Australia who wanted a deep red/maroon fade into blush in 2.4m x 2.4m – that’s around 8ft x 8ft.

Ombre Flower Wall in the making

How do we begin with ombre? Well we start by sourcing the florals from our group of preferred partners and trusted suppliers. Not being a factory ourselves means we have amazing flexibility when it comes to choosing blooms. Often we see flower walls created by one factory and they use the same material for a few different designs, meaning no real difference in colors or sizes, which tends to create an unrealistic looking wall. Luckily the colors requested are super popular so even though we didn’t have to custom create the actual pieces, we still sourced 57 different flowers from 16 different suppliers. Yes, you read that right, 57 different flowers from 16 different suppliers!

Why do we do this? We believe the key to achieving a realistic looking flower wall is in the details, and having so many different blooms to work with instantly creates a more luxe, lifelike, memorable floral backdrop.

Sorting through the 57 different kinds of flowers and preparing them for the pattern takes longer than a regular flower wall as working on an ombre wall has to be done in stages to make sure you get the fade that the client is looking for. Some people like it subtle, some people like it quite striking, and we are happy to create both types.

 

How to order an ombre flower wall

We don’t sell ombre directly on our online store as realistically we wont be able to create the exact same wall each time, and everyone’s color & flower preference is too different to list all options in one place, so we create ombre walls as custom orders. (A custom order doesn’t necessarily mean a higher price!).

Another thing we love about this wall is it’s 3D effect with blooms layered at different heights to make it look realistic and luxe. Gorgeous!

If you’re inspired to inquire about an ombre wall, simply visit our website or drop us an email with some information about what you are looking for and we’d be happy to chat through your options!

 

 

A closer look at our stunning Aninia Flower Wall

We are so in love with our Aninia Flower Wall! The feedback has been amazing, and not surprisingly it has been confused with a real floral backdrop which is possibly the best compliment you can give to one of our flower walls!

Many flower wall companies talk about ‘luxury’, but with such a relative term, it can be hard to know why something has been given that tag. We have placed our Aninia Flower Wall in the Luxe Walls section of our website because of the amount of work that goes into creating this piece.

We use over 40 different kind of flora and fauna per panel, which means there is no set panel, no formula, yet you want to perfectly blend the colors and tones of the blooms. It takes more time to create this wall as we are constantly checking and evaluating which pieces should go where. In addition to this, the multi layered 3D effect was created with hours of extra work to change the heights of the blooms – something that is definitely not standard.

We use so many different pieces as we believe it creates a more life like effect, and not forgetting we already create flower walls with more blooms per panel than other companies meaning a fuller, more realistic looking wall.

One of the fabulous things about being based in Shanghai is that we are able to create a wall like this. Not being a factory means we are not bound by producing only a few types of blooms in a few shades – and the result of that is something as stunning as our Aninia Flower Wall.

We really do love this wall so much, the colors, the styling, the WOW factor! We’ve received a lot of interest and orders for this wall as well as ones in the same style with different color schemes so we hope to be able to share more stunning images with you soon!
