The first thing you should do is stand back from the area where you
want to place the palm tree. Look at the colors in the area. What
color will your silk palm tree have to be to blend with the
environment? Also, note that palm trees have prominent fronds. If your
garden or environment doesn't have plants with prominent fronds or
leaves, your palm tree might look out of place.
Secondly, you must know that palm trees have a tropical character.
Remember that the silk palm tree you choose may be beautiful and
elegant, but if it doesn't flow with your environment, its beauty will
not be that much appreciated. Your environment must be willing the
tropical look of a fake palm tree. Imagine where the tree will be,
make a sketch of it if you have to. Can your environment take the palm
tree's tropical appearance?
After you've determined that, decide what story your environment will
tell. What mood will people get by seeing the environment? Will it be
as lively a mood as that of a party under the midday tropical sun? Or
will it be more relaxed and calm like a warm tropical sunset? You need
to decide that. Every decoration has a story to tell. What will yours
tell? Let it be an extension of your personality. Let the preserved
palm tree bring out who you are and let your decorations be your
signature.
