The US market prefers big or medium-size, and on the West Coast they like bright colours, whereas in other places they prefer blue, burgundy and darker colours. Europe is similar to the US, but more rusty colours are preferred. Minimum order is five cartons per item per colour, and delivery time is 45 days after confirmation. We can also make customers' own designs and meet their special requirements. The company's key product is arrangements of artificial roses made to look like real dried roses.
Designers consult flower books and talk to customers for inspiration.
Flowers and foliage are made of polyester, with some nylon. Some pots come with embossed patterns. Monthly production, at the company's facility in Shenzhen, on the mainland, varies from 100,000-500,000 arrangements, depending on the season, with Christmas being the busiest. For Christmas we will brush gold on the leaves and flowers. Roses are favourites whatever the season, she says, and the most popular colours are rose pink, dark pink and ivory.
