Fake flowers

Just say no? I have high hopes that this whole blog is a given but in case it's not just say no to fake flowers of any kind. No silk bouquets for a wedding, no fabric flower petals, no plastic plants at a dinner party! If you are allergic to flowers don't use flowers, not every party requires flowers. You can substitute petals on the table for small crystals or pebbles, flower arrangements with groupings of candles, and corsages with vintage brooches. Whether the concern is allergies, cost, or wanting your wedding details to withstand the test of time fake flowers are NEVER the answer (and while I'm at it don't even get me started on blue roses). In regards to the question of allergies I feel like fake flowers beyond being incredibly tacky and unsightly, seem ridiculous when there are several pharmaceutical aids to manage allergies and beyond that one can avoid particularly offensive flowers like lilies. I regards to cost artificial flowers rarely cost less then the real thing. Trust me. And I have heard many times that women don't want their bouquets to die but to keep them forever. First of all bouquets can be easily dried and kept but there are also services that can preserve not only your flowers but the color as well (which can fade with drying). So once again and I hope dearly for the last time NO fake flowers of any kind for any reason ever!
