The Best Artificial Flowers Online
What to Consider
When buying fake flowers, it’s largely a matter of personal preference. Here are some tips for choosing the best ones:
Style
Are you looking for something that’s a replica of the real deal? Are you all about paper blooms? Are you trying to save money and supplement your wedding florals by adding some fake arrangements into the mix?
In the same way that some people swoon for hydrangeas and other people are all about orchids, you likely want to search for the types of flowers and color schemes that appeal to you most and/or match your event design scheme.
Material
Fake flowers can be made of a variety of materials including silk, wood, foam, and paper, to name a few. None require any real “care” but some fake flowers may fade with time. Of course, dusting them from time to time doesn’t hurt. If you opt for scented fake flowers, the smell will also dissipate over time.
Usage
Lastly, think about the utility of any fake flowers you’re purchasing. Holiday arrangements can double as seasonal décor if you don’t go over the top with, say, a pink-and-red palette for Valentine’s Day or orange and yellow wreaths for Thanksgiving. When buying fake flowers, some come as just the stems, so take note if vessels are sold separately and of the dimensions of the arrangements to see if it fits into an existing holder that you already own.
We’ve rounded up the prettiest (and yes, the most realistic) artificial flowers on the market — and yup, they’re all available for online purchase, so your day can stay schlep-free.
