Which do you prefer, fresh OR fake flower designs ?
All these flower arrangements were made by our students under the instructions of our teachers during real lessons in the classroom of California Flower Art Academy.
Our school used to offer classes for silk flower and dried flower arrangements. Currently however we don't offer such classes because there is not enough demand for artificial flower arrangements.
Therefore we were obliged to stop teaching dried and silk flower arrangements more than 10 years ago. There are various advantages in artificial flower arrangements as mentioned below:
1. Easy to do maintenance: Unnecessary to supply water 2. Easy to carry to anywhere you like. 3. Fake flowers live so long (almost forever) 4. We can use fake flower arrangements repeatedly. 5. Not necessary to use water and floral foams  |
Perhaps one of the best advantages is that silk flowers and dried flowers live so long (almost forever) and we can use them repeatedly, which is quite economical. However when it comes to enjoying taking care of live plants, fresh flower arrangement is the best. Also appreciating the real beauty created by live flowers cannot be enjoyed with fake flower arrangements.
Depending on the geographical area where nursery is a little bit difficult like in Las Vegas, it looks like silk flower arrangements are quite popular seemingly because the quality of soil, water and also the climate are not very suitable to grow natural plants and maintain the life of real flowers.
While we feel real beauty and flavor with fresh flowers, fake flowers do not offer such feeling. In this sense people usually prefer fresh flowers. Silk flowers and dried flowers are nothing but substitute of real flowers.  |
Although we are no longer offering classes of artificial floral arrangements, we are quite active in working on fresh flower designs. Those who love flowers and have interest in learning fresh flower arrangements are welcome to California Flower Art Academy where we teach each student by way of hands on training of ONE ON ONE instructions limiting number of students to no more than 4 per class (typically only 2 to 3 per class).
Regardless of the purpose of learning floral designs, for hobby or for business, we are more than happy to train you so you can be an outstanding floral artist. Our Wide Range of Programs enable you to easily find the class that can satisfy your requirements.
We have been operating in the San Francisco Bay Area since 1990 as a floral design school certified by Flower Decorators Association (Tokyo, Japan) who is one of the best established and largest floral associations in Japan.
