The term references the acquisition of artificial hydrangea flowers, crafted with materials designed to mimic the texture and appearance of fresh blooms, in large quantities, typically for resale or use in expansive decorative projects. An example includes a floral designer procuring numerous faux hydrangeas for a wedding venue’s floral arrangements or a retailer stocking shelves with these botanically inspired items.
The practice offers several advantages, including cost-effectiveness compared to purchasing fresh flowers regularly, extended lifespan without wilting or requiring hydration, and consistent availability regardless of seasonal constraints. Historically, artificial flowers were perceived as inferior substitutes; however, advancements in manufacturing techniques have led to high-quality products that provide realistic aesthetics and practical benefits for both businesses and consumers.
