What are the advantages of using silk flowers over real flora?
In the end, if you have the time and money, nothing beats fresh flowers. However, silk flowers can be more economical and wise due to a number of reasons. These include: • No maintenance: Real flowers require water to live for a couple of days and soil for longer life. Using silk flowers means no messy soil management and keeping track of plant watering. • No mess or allergens: If someone knocks over real flowers by accident, not only will the container likely be damaged, but so will the flowers. As a silk flower contains no organic material, it contains no pollen and hence removes any allergic potential for guests. • Recyclable: Not in the sense of tossing them in the yellow bin, more so the potential to use them for a future occasion or decoration than the original purpose you purchased them for. For instance, a silk wedding bouquet can be disassembled and placed in a vase for the home of the newlyweds.
