Hi Everyone!

I’m a huge fan of flowers.  I love how pretty they are and how they can change the entire feel of a room.  The only problem I have is that I’m pretty much allergic to most flowers and trees.  I actually often joke that I’m allergic to Earth at times. As many of you know last December I had a huge asthma episode that landed me in the hospital so if I want flowers inside my home they have to be fake flowers.

I received this red geranium  in exchange for a review.  This doesn’t impact my opinion on the product.  I always will give you my honest opinion on anything I share with all of you.

Why Should You Use Silk Flowers

1. Allergies.

As I mentioned earlier I have horrible allergies, plus having asthma doesn’t help my situation.  I actually decorate with a lot of silk flowers around my home in general for this reason.  Sometimes simple things like having flowers around the home are often overlooked by many but for someone like me, it’s a struggle.  I can honestly say my Husband has NEVER bought me flowers.  Not because he isn’t thoughtful or anything like that, but because I just can’t have them inside my home without it causing a breathing issue for me.  Last time I checked it was kind of important to be able to breath, so that’s why we decorate with silk flowers.

2. Silk Flowers can’t die!

For whatever reason I struggle keeping plants alive.  I’m not even kidding, I’m a busy mom who often just doesn’t have time to water the plants (let alone remember to). Using silk flowers to decorate my home avoids this problem all together, because they never die!

3. Silk Flowers can pull a room together.

A floral arrangement in general can do this, so silk flowers are no different.  It gives the room a nice fresh feel to it, all while having the ability to jazz up a room perfectly.

4. They can commemorate big events/traditions.

All of our wedding flowers were silk flowers and I actually put some around my home in the summer.  Even our multiple Christmas trees are all fake trees.  I’m actually very allergic to pine trees, so we will never be able to get a real tree around this time of year.  But, we make a fun event of setting up the Christmas trees and decorating them!

My Thoughts on Silkplants Direct

When I first opened the red geranium I thought “It looks so real”.  I was actually very shocked at how real it looked considering it was made of silk.  My husband thought it was a real plant at first look.  This is a huge plus in my book because they are supposed to look real and at first glance many were fooled (even on second and third glances many were).  The plant itself is well made and I just adore the vase it is in.
