Here’s a quick solution – you can make artificial flowers, which are a convenient as well as a cheap way of decoration.

However, with everything are associated certain pros n cons. Paper flowers are no exceptions. Take a look the Pros n cons of paper flowers:

PROS OF PAPER FLOWERS

 

Always in Fashion

The trend of using the paper flowers as a decoration never goes. They always remain in fashion and are beautiful too. Nowadays, market is flooded with paper flower’s vendors, and if you want a long-lasting impression of beauty added to your home, office or party you can either go for the ones sold in the market or make them at home.

 

No Allergy Problem

Some people are allergic to pollen grains contained in the flowers. How can one know that the person to whom he is gifting a bouquet of real flowers is allergic to them? Your gift would just be a punishment for the person. He might dislike you for the rest of his life…
While this won’t happen if you gift him a paper flower bouquet. (I don’t think anybody has an allergy to paper!!!!) . Moreover, this gift of yours will be a long lasting one.

 

Variety

What do you do when you have kept a themed party on flowers in winters, when you don’t get iris flowers (seasonal flowers available in winters)? Drop your idea of the theme party or change the theme?
With paper flowers, you don’t need to do any of these as you can make iris flowers at home by spending hardly an hour. Just using 4 – 5 colored papers (crepe, origami, etc.) you can get a variety of flowers in any season. You can make flowers of those colors which are not available in natural flowers.

 

 

Increases Creativity

With so many designs of paper flowers available out there on various internet sites one can make paper flowers by following the simple steps. These can also be used as a recreational activity for kids at birthday parties.
When adults engage themselves in paper flower making, they can try making some new designs, which would help in increasing their mental power. It will also increase your observing power and your perseverance level.

 

High Durability

These real flowers look alike won’t fade die or wilt with time as the real ones do. They give a long lasting rich and elegant look.

Reusable:

What do you do with your fresh flower after the function is over?? Just throw them away as they get rot? Another benefit of using paper flowers is its reusability property. When your function gets over you can either arrange the flowers in your house or can keep them safe for the next party.

 

TIP:

All what you can do is try to mix n match flowers. Take out the flowers from the bouquets and rearrange them by choosing different colors. You will get a colorful bouquet.

 

No Waiting Required

When you plan for fresh flower arrangements, you have to wait for the florist to come on the particular day, i.e., the function day. You get anxious if he gets late or there may be chances of his absence on the day due to some problem. In case of paper flowers, you don’t have to face such a problematic situation as you can arrange for them weeks before. You can even decorate the venue before the D day.

Cost Effective

While comparing the prices of both the types of flowers you will find that paper flowers are far cheaper than the real ones. Check out the data given below

 

The Paper Flowers

Price of packet: $1

No. of sheets: 10

Size of sheet: 20” X 24”

With these 10 sheets, you can make at least 20 flowers (here I am taking the minimum number). So the cost per flower becomes $ 0.05. Where can you get so cheap flowers??

CONS OF PAPER FLOWERS

Moisture:

If you are planning for an open-air party, then opting for paper flower might not work for you. Unlike the fresh flowers, these paper flowers won’t stand in the rain, they get moist and destroyed.

 

 

Lack of Original Touch

The way the fresh flowers swirl in the air can’t be seen in the paper flowers. They are stiff and firm.

 

Fragrance

The fragrance that the real flowers give can’t be compared with the artificial smell that a paper flower can give (due to the perfume spray on it).  The magical aroma of the fresh flowers that keeps the atmosphere bright and fresh can’t be replaced by the artificial ones.
