Fresh, dried and Silk Arrangements — Three Ways to Enjoy Flowers Year-Round
Fresh-cut arrangements bring seasonally available blooms at their peak vibrancy, making them the natural choice for immediate gifting, events, or any occasion where the living quality of the flower matters. Fresh arrangements are best enjoyed within their natural vase life, typically 5 to 10 days with proper care and fresh water. They are the go-to for weddings, birthdays, hospital visits, and sympathy tributes when the recipient will be present to enjoy them.
Silk and dried Arrangements Last for Years with No Upkeep Required
Silk and driedfloral arrangements are handcrafted using high-quality fabric and synthetic florals that hold their color, shape, and fullness indefinitely. No water, no wilting, no seasonal availability constraints—just beautiful blooms that stay exactly as you placed them. The ideal choice for permanent home decor, offices, grave memorials, or customers who want a specific bloom that may not be in season, First Glance Florist carries silk arrangements ready to take home and also fulfills custom silk orders.
Both fresh and silk options are available at the shop and can be discussed in person or by phone at 318-419-8323.
