Is Artificial Flowers Real Or Fake?

Artificial plants are made of several materials such as plastic, cloth, silk, etc. It is not a living plant, but it has the same effect as a living plant.

Why choose artificial flowers

There are several reasons to choose to display artificial flowers in your home. But the key factors to consider are authenticity, ease of use, durability and overall cost.

Authenticity

When it comes to real flowers and artificial flowers, of course, you want permanent flowers that look realistic. Today's creations are "fabulous imitations" and are more popular than ever. From velvety petals to colors that imitate real life, these flowers are fooling more and more people.

Here is an artificial ranunculus flower and a real flower. Look how similar they are to each other, even down to the layers of ruffles and warm tones.

Ease of use

Maintenance and ease of use are other things to consider. Artificial flowers are easy to display. They just need a little fluff. Just place a vase of beautiful spring flowers in your room and leave it there for as long as you want. No watering or sun is required.

Durability

The good thing about artificial flowers is that they don't require much maintenance. A bouquet of flowers placed in a guest room last year will look just as fresh as the real flowers displayed yesterday. Don’t worry about hydrangeas wilting or real rose petals fading. With a little care, artificial flowers will stay beautiful for years.

These hydrangeas are my favorite. While one is real and looks fresh, the other looks real and lasts.

Cost

Their price is another consideration. You may be thinking, “Which is cheaper, real or artificial?” On average, large bouquets of my favorite peonies, ranunculus, hellebore, and tulips cost about $150-200 depending on size. Spending that money on artificial flowers is a one-time investment that you can use over and over again.
