faux ever
A vase of beautiful flowers has the power to transform a room. They implicitly let you know that that home is filled with light, life and a certain Joie de vivre. And yet the difference between a freshly picked bouquet and slightly sad assortment of browning petals is immense.
Fake flowers of course do a wonderful job of avoiding the disheartening demise of a freshly picked bundle – 'But they look so fake and they have no scent!' I hear you cry, well - have you ever seen Abigail Ahern's flowers? If you have you probably didn't realise that each and every one of her petals is entirely man made.


Ahern's cleverly tapped into a hole in the market; tasteful and pretty fake flowers. Sure there's no scent, but really, isn't half of it about the visual effect and a degree of nasal assumption anyway? Plus these bouquets will last forever.

Can’t believe these are fake flowers! Flowers definitely have the power to transform the design and feel of a room. I can’t wait to have some when I have my own place!

Nasal assumption?! Absolutely hilarious. Fantastic. You are entirely correct though, fake flowers…not so great. Faux flowers of this caliber? Amazing. I truly thought I was observing live botanical until it was revealed. Wonderful !!!
