Faux flowers

Fake. Are these ok now? Used to be so naff, but Oka, Neptune, Abigail Ahern etc are charging £££ for single stems and bunches.
They do seem quite a good idea - I love flowers but they are hassley.
Aibu to invest in some?

I love em. I have both. You have to be careful what you pick though to make sure they look extra realistic. Beware of the prices though, that Ahern has them up for £££ and we have a nursery near us with acres of faux flowers and they're super cheap. They don't need to be the old fusty flowers of past times. I think they're due a revival.
Near me they're so cheap, I'll confess, a few summers ago I put some in one spot out in the garden. My neighbour came round asking to know what those beautiful blue flowers are that are growing so well in the shade?... Grin

Haha, I did think the higher end ones would be more convincing, but do you think normal garden centre ones are ok?

My wedding bouquet was made with real touch flowers, it's beautiful and will never wilt. I bought it on Etsy.

I have a lot of bouquets that Abigail Ahern's sister Gemma designs. They are fabulous and well worth the price. My friend buys stems from OKA and they are nowhere near as good.
