While few things are as lovely and fragrant as real flowers and plants,

artificial flowers and artificial plants do have their advantages in

some situations. If you are planning an event, or need to send a

remembrance, sometimes artificial flowers and artificial plants make the best

sense.



When many people think about artificial flowers and artificial plants,

they think of those awful plastic arrangements found gathering dust on

discount department store shelves. But things are quite different today

and realistic silk orchids or flowers have replaced the tacky plastic

flowers and plants of the past.



Weddings



Artificial flowers and artificial plants can be great for extending a

wedding budget. Silk flowers can be used in place of real flowers, and

with a drop of scented oil applied in the very center, most people can't

tell the difference between the two.



Silk flower wedding arrangements are also perfect for high traffic

areas where real flowers would take a bruising. Artificial flowers and

artificial plants make perfect pew decorations. Guests may accidentally

brush up against them as they are seated, but the petals will look as

lovely as ever. You never need to worry about silk orchids or flowers

wilting.



Scrapbooking, Crafting, and Cake Decorating



Artificial flowers and artificial plants are the perfect way to add

floral accents to scrapbook pages and crafts. For example, a copy of the

wedding invitation is usually saved by the bride for a keepsake. Silk

flowers, whole or with petals and leaves separated for convenience, can

be used to decorate the pages of a scrapbook or keepsake frame.



You can also decorate a cake with realistic silk flowers that are far

more beautiful and dramatic than piped frosting creations, and you can

save them afterward in a keepsake box.



Bereavements



Sending flowers in times of sorrow is a time honored tradition, and

real flowers are both lovely and fragrant, but they fade away all too

soon. Many families have a custom of offering bereavement floral

arrangements to friends and family as a poignant remembrance of a loved one's

passing. Silk flower arrangements make a lasting gift that will bring back

fond memories of absent friends and family for years to come.



Artificial flowers and artificial plants made today are just as

beautiful and nearly identical to the real thing. If you want the beauty of

flowers in your life, why not add some permanence with lovely silk

flowers and plants.
