Wooden Roses Make A Wonderful Gift
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 remarkable given they are not the real thing. Wooden roses often need to be touched before anyone can believe they're not real. Wooden roses are usually hand-crafted with beech wood shavings and as is the case, no two are ever the same. They are also carefully painted in a wide range of colors so they look as realistic as possible. Wooden roses can also be sprayed with a scented mist so as to further the illusion of realism. While the scent may not last long, they can be sprayed at will.
When choosing wooden roses, most opt for the color red. Given red symbolizes love, care, and passion, red wooden roses are quite suited for occasions such as weddings and Valentine's day. In addition, they will last a lifetime, unlike the real thing.
Weddings can benefit the most by having wooden roses stand in for live blooms. 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. Given wooden roses last as long as you want them, all those that attended the event will have a forever keepsake of the special day.
Wooden roses can also be used as centre pieces at weddings (or any special event where flowers are called for). Bouquets can be set up early without having to worry about the flowers wilting. You will be amazed at the conversation starters wooden roses will have on the guests at each table – it could make for some interesting fun. If they choose, guests can also take wooden roses home as a keepsake.
Smaller versions of the wooden roses can also be attached to the invitations which will make them nothing if not memorable.
What would Valentine's day be without a dozen or so red roses for your beloved? What a lovely surprise you could create with a box full of scented wooden roses. The options as to what to do with wooden roses or when to give them, are limitless. They certainly don't have to be reserved for special occasions or once a year holidays; wooden roses are a terrific gift any time 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.
