What will it be fresh flowers, dry, or artificial ones? Many people find themselves in a quandary when it comes to dicing about the kind of flowers they should use to decorate home or any other place like a hall for any special occasions. It would be a lot easier to decide if you can consider factors like budgeting or personal liking. Experience indicates that fresh flowers are great when you have to make a great style statement showing your good taste. 1. Artificial flower arrangements Largely the reason to choose artificial flowers is the low maintenance. Since this leaves out hassles caused due to water spills and does not require any maintenance activities like changing the soil or pruning the leaves. So you can simply consider it a part of the static decor of your office or home. The only maintenance artificial flowers need is wiping the dust off them with a damp cloth. Another advantage of purchasing artificial flowers would be the price. Most of the times the cost of artificial flowers is lower than the price of natural flowers, however, remember that the quality often matches the price of the artificial flower product. In case you want to gift a loved one and are thinking about buying artificial flowers then think again. No doubt artificial flowers are non-perishable but they are no match to natural flowers when it comes to conveying love and respect. Come on we don't really dream of presenting our darling or even our mother with a bouquet of artificial flowers Artificial might be durable but the feeling that fresh flowers create last much more than because it is not the object the feeling aroused by the objects that creates love. How is that people then still buy artificial flowers? Well, I can tell you a couple of good reasons. Either you or your dear one cannot be near fresh flowers due to some allergic reaction they develop. Another good reason to choose artificial flowers instead of fresh ones would be location. Yes, the location because if, let's say, you want fresh roses as an example for your wedding and you live in a remote area, it could be pretty expensive to import them for the ceremony. In such a case it is best to use silk roses for decoration and use the money you save here more sensibly on something else. Also think if the flowers would sustain freshness if you are getting married in summer heat as fresh flowers will wilt unlike the artificial flowers but if you have made arrangements enduring that they don't take all the heat then you can still use them. (In cases of wedding in remote areas you should pick flowers sold by local vendors and also refrigerate them.) It's up to you to decide whether you want artificial flowers or fresh ones for any occasion. 2. Dried flower arrangements If you are looking for durability when purchasing a floral arrangement, dried flowers are the closest choice to the natural flowers. That's because dried flowers when preserved still maintain some natural qualities. Various flowers are dried using various preservation procedures like freeze-drying, air-drying, using microwave or silica gel considering best preservation of their natural qualities. Flowers can be dried on your own. In most cases, people decide on the type of flowers they want by considering the preservation factor. Want to keep them forever? You have two options: Go for artificial flowers as they will always look the same; Even if you select flowers you can preserve and preserve or dry them they are not going to stay the same forever. In my opinion attempting to preserve flowers forever is similar to attempting to stay young forever. They are wonderful and unique while they are fresh, but no matter how much we try to keep them alive, there comes a time when we have to let them go and accept that flowers were meant to bring us beauty and wonderful memories, even if for a short period of time. Why use artificial flowers when can simply have more fresh flowers creating freshness in our lives? 3.
