Welcome guests with long-lasting style and zero fuss
First impressions matter—especially in business. Your reception area sets the tone for every client, visitor, and potential employee who walks through the door. While fresh flowers are lovely, they aren’t always the most practical choice. That’s where silk flowers come in.
Here at Flowers by EG, we design high-quality, realistic silk flower arrangements that transform reception spaces without the maintenance and cost of real blooms. In this blog, we’re sharing five great reasons why silk flowers are the perfect solution for your business reception area.
1. They Always Look Their Best
Let’s be honest—real flowers have good days and bad days. One morning they look stunning, the next they’re wilting in front of your guests. With silk flowers, your display will always look fresh and full, no matter the season or the temperature of your room.
Silk blooms don’t droop, fade or brown. That means your business always presents a polished, professional image from the very first glance.
Whether you choose a bold modern display or something soft and elegant, you can rely on silk arrangements to keep their shape and colour week after week.
2. They’re a Smart Investment
Fresh flowers need replacing every few days or weeks—which quickly adds up in cost, especially if you’re working with premium florals. With silk flowers, you only pay each month.
A professionally designed silk arrangement can last a long time with minimal upkeep. That makes them a savvy choice for any business looking to improve their workspace aesthetics without a monthly flower bill.
Even better, you can choose to rotate different arrangements seasonally or have custom designs created for different times of the year—without the ongoing cost of real blooms.
3. Zero Maintenance – Just Enjoy Them
Real flowers require water, trimming, feeding, and careful placement to make them last. In contrast, silk flowers are as low-maintenance as it gets.
Once in place, all they need is the occasional dust or wipe. That’s it. No wilting to worry about. No water spillages. No scent sensitivities. And no extra pressure on your front-of-house team to care for them.
It’s one less thing to think about, and one more reason to smile when you walk into your reception.
4. Allergy-Free and Pet-Friendly
One of the hidden downsides of real flowers is the potential for allergies or sensitivities. In reception areas where staff, clients and guests come and go, you never know who might be affected.
Silk flowers offer all the beauty of blooms with none of the sneezes. No pollen, no perfumes—just stunning arrangements that are safe for everyone. They’re also ideal for workplaces with pets (such as salons or therapy practices), where certain flowers could be toxic or cause irritation.
If you’re aiming for an inclusive, welcoming atmosphere, silk is the safer and more thoughtful choice.
5. Stylish, Sustainable and Customisable
Modern silk flowers aren’t the shiny plastic stems you remember from the past. Today’s silk florals are crafted with lifelike textures and finishes that look just as good as the real thing.
At Flowers by EG, we design bespoke silk flower arrangements to suit your brand and space—from minimalist monochromes to bold, vibrant centrepieces. Want something dramatic for a creative agency? Or a soft, subtle look for a medical practice? We can create something tailored exactly to your needs.
