Does the mere sight of fresh flowers make you sneeze? Are you like the many thousands of people that are allergic to the pollen in flowers? Worldwide, millions of people have allergies that can be triggered by flowers and are therefore unable to have flowers in their homes or in the work places, a pity considering that flowers are considered as among God's prettier creation.

So what is the solution? Yes you guessed - artificial flowers! Come to think of it, artificial flowers are not without its advantages, because it will not make you sneeze and you can have it for a longer period of time. And let's not forget that they will save you money in the long run.

Today there are many homes, hotels, offices and restaurants that use the alternative to real flowers. Some artificial flowers are so beautifully done that they could be mistaken for the real thing and in the hands of skilled decorator can look as good as fresh flowers, without the nuisance of daily maintenance at that!

In addition to artificial flowers, you can also use artificial plants and trees. So if you want something a little larger to decorate a room or office then this could be the answer for you.

There are a lot of things that can be said for and against artificial flowers.

Advantages

No bugs buzzing around. No spills to clean up. It is easier to move them around to give the place a new and fresh look every once in a while. They are easy to maintain, and cheaper too. You will not be faced with maintenance problem every time you are away for an extended period. Cheaper than buying fresh flowers every week.

Disadvantages

To say that artificial flowers do not require tender and loving care is not exactly true because while they will not wilt, they can get dirty. So you have to clean them every once in a while with clean soapy water.

Where can you buy them?

Artificial flowers can be procured at flower shops, in the malls, in garden supplies, and you can find them even in supermarkets.

If you fancy yourself as an able decorator, then buy your artificial flowers and get creative, or you can simply ask some decorator to do the job for you.
