In order to tell if wooden roses are real or not, you have to get fairly close to them to be able to tell the difference. The artistry in them is quite extraordinary when one notes that they are artificial.. 

Wooden roses often need to be touched before anyone can believe they're not real. 

Wooden roses are mostly crafted by hand, with beech wood shavings and as is the case, each one is unique. The wooden roses are also painstakingly painted in a wide variety of colors so they look as real as possible. Roses made of wood can also be sprayed with a fragranced mist so as to further the realistic effect. Although the fragrance may not be long lasting, they can be sprayed whenever you want a fresh rose scent.

When selecting wooden roses, most people choose the color red.  Knowing that red is a token of love; care, and passion, red wooden roses are perfect for events like weddings and Valentine's Day.  In addition, they will last a lifetime, unlike the real thing.

Weddings can gain the most advantage by having wooden roses stand in as substitutes for the real thing. An individual rose can be given to each female guest and a dozen of each can go to the mother's of the bride and groom. Considering that wooden roses endure for as long as you want them, all those that attend the event will have long lasting memorabilia of the special day.

 It is an excellent idea to use wooden roses as centre pieces at weddings (or any special occasion where flowers are needed). Floral arrangements can be set up early without having to be concerned about the flowers wilting. You will be surprised at how well the wooden roses could be the subject of conversations by the guests at each table – it could make for some delightful amazement.

If they choose, guests may also take wooden roses home as a treasured memory. Tiny versions of the wooden roses can also be attached to the invitations which will make them more memorable than anything else.

What would Valentine's Day be without a dozen or so red roses for your beloved? Oh, what an unexpected surprise it would be to receive a box full of scented wooden roses. The choices among how to utilize wooden roses or on what occasion to give them, are unlimited. Wooden roses don’t have to be reserved for special events or holidays; they are a excellent gifts for any season of the year.

Instead of waiting for someone to go out and get you flowers, why don't you invest in beautifully, hand-crafted wooden roses on your own – you will revel in their attractive artistry and be very glad at the end of the day that you don't have to care for them the same way you would if they were real.
