plastic flowers

yeah, i know, decorating with fake flowers is frowned upon by the professionals. it’s #1 in the hgtv list of top decorating mistakes (apparently i also suffer from #3, ‘knickknack overload’!) the problem is these guys have it all wrong, they tell you if you want to decorate with fake flowers, to buy realistic looking flowers in natural colors, when i think trying to pretend they’re real when they’re not is what makes them cheesy. try my decorating advice: the faker the better! i went to the thrift store and they had 3 huge boxes full of these neon plastic flowers. needless to say i was thrilled to pieces and bought some to make a few spring arrangements with. i especially like these ones, they seem to glow when the light hits them. i might have to go back and get some more.

neon plastic flowers!

    Exactly! Why try to “fool” others with fake flowers – it’s pretty obvious! Love it!

    I love fake flowers and I used to work at a floral shop for years. In fact I made my own wedding centerpieces out of fake-ies and my mom has them proudly on display. I totally agree with you. The faker, the better.
