High quality silk flowers will, without a doubt, give the illusion of reality. But when they are arranged in a beautiful vase of decorative marbles or rocks, a great deal of that illusion, like a cloud of smoke, vanishes. Even the most highly skilled at mixing colors and arranging flowers in the perfect vase cannot assemble a realistic flower arrangement with those tools.
One of the fastest growing trends in the floral design industry today are liquid illusion flower arrangements. You see, liquid illusion arrangements are artificial flowers that look as if they are in a vase of water. To make a silk flower arrangement look more realistic as well as professional, a clear, strong gelatin is added to a clear vase of flowers to give the illusion of a vase of flowers in water. The process is often referred to as liquid illusion, some will say acrylic water, fake water, or faux water. This wonderfully, creative process clearly creates the illusion of reality. Liquid illusion flower arrangements are far more superior in quality, appearance, and design.
