There’s much to love about fake flowers, despite the bad reputation they sometimes get: They instantly uplift a space, require virtually no maintenance, and are more affordable than buying fresh bouquets regularly.

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.
Afloral has virtually everything under the sun in the realm of artificial flowers and plants, as well as dried flowers and grasses. (They sell dreamy vases, too.) So go ahead and live out your orchid fantasies without dealing with their finicky care needs, or splurge on some fake roses to brighten your dining room table.

Their collection includes wreaths, faux standalone stems, bouquets in vases, and wooden box planters. Good luck browsing without wanting to redo your whole living room aesthetic.

At Pine and Petal, you’re sure to find a one-of-a-kind gift, home décor piece, or holiday decoration item. Their eye-catching imitation flowers are crafted from sola wood, which is a delicate wood that’s quite similar to balsa wood.
The “flowers” can be dyed in vivid shades of blue, purple, teal, and red as well as neutral hues, and they can even be scented (traditional rose or pumpkin pie, anyone?). Even better, the wood material used is sustainable, as the plant it comes from is able to regrow after each harvest.
Some arrangements we love are this green and pine flower bouquet, this blue-and-peach arrangement, and this hanging succulent wall diamond.
