Fresh Flowers naturally are natural. They are beautiful and have unique fragrances.
Dried Natural Flowers are alternative to fresh and silk flowers. When preserved right they can be for very long time useful for decorations. Maintenance for dried flowers are low. Many different way to preserve natural flower, some can be easily down at home but there are more complicated and expensive professional services are available for your convenience.

From the cemetery,memorial service all the way up to Wedding Bouquets. Not forgetting the fact when you have almost no choices but to go with Silk Flower if you like to have flower as a decoration.
One particular situation when due to allergy of human or pet, natural or dry flower not a option.
So many option Fresh,Dried and Silk Flowers, where and when to use it? If you are not sure ask your qualified local Florist to recommend you the best solution(s) in every one of the situations you have to make your decision.
In my opinion all three category have they own advantage and disadvantage, just have to find the right one for the right occasion,you preferred Florist experience in the field can make a real different for you.

No questions you can't beat all the beauty and delicatessen of fresh flowers.
Unfortunately with all the advantages they are not the best in all situations,also the short lifespan
making limited use for them.
