Advantages Of Silk Flower Over Natural Flowers

The custom of arranging artificial flowers at home is highly preferred in many modern households, due to several benefits over using the natural flowers. Though many types of man made flowers are available in the market; the silk flowers are most loved by the stylish homemakers. But still many people are found to be in a dilemma, whether to choose natural or artificial flowers for home décor or as gifts or for serving other purposes.

Reasons for choosing silk flowers instead of the natural ones

• Differences in costs – The artificial flowers are much cheaper than the natural flowers; as more efforts and expenses are needed in growing the large amounts of natural blossoms, compared to the man made florets that are created in small-scale cottage industries, with only very little production cost.
• Longevity of the flowers – The natural flowers wilt away after a day or two, which can happen faster in hot summer days; though the orchids last a little longer. But the artificial flowers remain in their original state for years, without any necessity of careful maintenance and thus, can be sent as gifts to long distances. 
• Easiness in maintenance – The natural flowers need to be supplied with fresh water for their nourishment and the water should be changed every day, to avoid fast withering of the flower petals. On the other hand, the artificial flowers do not need to be kept in water and can be cleaned just by simple washing or wiping regularly with a damp cloth. Thus, the homemakers need not worry about the proper maintenance of these flower arrangements.
•  Grandeur in looks – The actual flowers are very sweet in appearance for most of the people. But the artificial flowers also look quite pleasant, when arranged nicely at home. Mainly the silk flowers are very glamorous, for the lightness and the glossiness of the fabric. Moreover, the artificial flowers are available in wider color range and can even be ordered for making specific types of flowers, in chosen colors.
• Can be placed anywhere – The natural flowers require fresh air and thus, thrive best when the rooms receive enough natural light and air. But the artificial flowers can be kept even in closed rooms for several days and can be placed far away from natural light too.
