Plastic Flowers vs. Dried Flowers

If someone asked you to do an art project using flowers would you consider using Plastic Flowers so it lasts or would you rather try drying the real stuff and then using it?

Flowers Dried Vs Flowers Plastic

I much prefer dried flowers. Dried flowers looks natural and you can have them for a long time. In the cold climate I live in, dried flowers looks wonderful in an arrangemnt or artwork if its done right. Its like bringing the outside of your home indoors. You can also add different scented oils to them as well. This would be very difficult with plastic flowers.
