Origami paper flowers or some really cool patterned fabric or velvet flowers can be beautiful and stylish without being considered tacky, because it's obvious they aren't real (but they're SO pretty in their right).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844815276848548126.post-50021642607598156142009-05-06T17:07:00.000-04:002009-05-06T17:07:00.000-04:00I don't think these silk flowers work, I wish they...I don't think these silk flowers work, I wish they did. To me there's something just dishonest feeling about silk flowers. One alternative I've found is velvet flowers!! They're hard to find but lovely when you do. Something about them looks rich and pretty, and not like they're trying to be something they're not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2844815276848548126.post-57538314479518375722009-05-04T14:11:00.000-04:002009-05-04T14:11:00.000-04:00I tend to like silk flowers only when that are bro...I tend to like silk flowers only when that are broken apart and used as accents...sitting in a bowl, tied to doorknob,pinned to a cute bag or strung in garlands...etc, rather than trying to pass as a real arrangement.
