How to combine an outdoor paper flower set with real flowers?

Hey there! I'm a supplier of outdoor paper flower sets, and I'm super excited to share some awesome ideas on how to combine these cool artificial flowers with real ones. Combining outdoor paper flower sets with real flowers can create a magical outdoor space that's both long - lasting and brimming with natural beauty.

Let's first talk about the benefits of using both. Real flowers bring that fresh, organic scent and the unique charm that only Mother Nature can offer. They change with the seasons, adding a dynamic element to your garden. On the other hand, outdoor paper flower sets are incredibly versatile. They're not affected by weather conditions like real flowers can be. Rain, wind, or intense sunlight won't wilt them. You can keep them looking perfect all year round, and they come in a wide variety of colors and styles that might not be available in real flowers all the time.

Now, onto the fun part - how to combine them.

1. Color Coordination

One of the easiest ways to start is by coordinating the colors of your outdoor paper flower set with the real flowers. For example, if you have a bed of real red roses, you could add some Outdoor Decoration Giant Rose Flower in complementary colors like white or pink. This creates a visually appealing contrast that draws the eye.

If you're going for a monochromatic look, pick real and paper flowers in the same color family. Say you love purple. You could have real lavender plants and then add paper irises or lilacs in various shades of purple. This gives a sense of unity and sophistication to your outdoor area.

2. Placement

Placement is key when it comes to combining these two types of flowers. You can use outdoor paper flower sets to fill in gaps where real flowers might not grow well. For instance, if there's a shady corner in your garden where real sun - loving flowers won't thrive, you can put up some Outdoor EVA Flower Sunflower Decoration. These paper sunflowers will add a pop of color to an otherwise dull spot.

You can also use paper flowers to create borders around beds of real flowers. Line the edges of your garden beds with a row of paper tulips or daisies. This not only gives a tidy appearance but also acts as a transition between the different areas of your outdoor space.

3. Creating Focal Points

Another great way is to use paper and real flowers together to create focal points. Maybe you have a large, empty wall of a shed or a patio. You can make a huge floral arrangement with a mix of real and paper flowers. Place some real hydrangeas in the center, surrounded by paper peonies. The real hydrangeas will attract the eye with their fullness and natural beauty, and the paper peonies will add a long - lasting and eye - catching element.

4. Varying Sizes

Varying the sizes of the flowers can also add interest. Use large paper flowers like the giant roses to make a bold statement, and then complement them with smaller real flowers such as thyme or violas. This creates a multi - dimensional look that makes your outdoor space more engaging.

5. Seasonal Combinations

Think about the seasons when combining these flowers. In the spring, you can pair real cherry blossoms with paper forsythia. As summer rolls around, real sunflowers can be combined with paper hibiscus. In the fall, real chrysanthemums go great with paper maple leaves (yes, you can find paper flower sets that include leaf - like decorations). And in winter, when real flowers are scarce, you can use paper poinsettias along with some evergreen branches.

Tips for Maintenance

It's important to keep in mind the maintenance requirements of both real and paper flowers. For real flowers, regular watering, pruning, and fertilizing are a must. With paper flowers, you'll just need to give them a light dusting every now and then. If they get dirty from rain or wind, you can gently wash them with a mild soap and water solution.

If you're worried about the lifespan of real flowers, you can always start by using more paper flowers at the beginning and gradually add in real flowers as you get more comfortable with their care.

Ideal Outdoor Spaces for Combinations

This combination works well in different outdoor spaces. In a small balcony garden, you can place a pot of real herbs like basil and thyme, and then add a couple of paper daisies around the edge of the pot. It gives a fresh and inviting feel to your small corner.

For a large backyard, you can create a big floral display. A mix of real lilies and paper orchids around a patio or a seating area can make your outdoor living space feel like a luxurious paradise.

In a rooftop garden, where the environment can be a bit harsh, paper flowers can withstand the conditions while real succulents can add a touch of natural greenery.

Conclusion

Combining an outdoor paper flower set with real flowers is an amazing way to make your outdoor space stand out. It allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds - the natural charm of real flowers and the durability and versatility of paper flowers. Whether you're a novice gardener or a seasoned pro, there are endless possibilities to create a unique and beautiful outdoor area.
