Faux flowers got upgraded: Shop these realistic-looking blooms (2024)

A fresh bouquet is a no-brainer when it comes to gift giving, but have you considered trading one in for faux flowers? Going for a fake floral arrangement has its perks; they’re allergy- and pet-friendly, and will never wilt. So, whether it be Valentine’s Day, or just because, consider going faux.

Fake flowers don’t have to look cheap, either. These aren’t your crafts store flower stems with frayed edges and globs of glue. Most faux floral arrangements cost more than a bouquet of fresh flowers—but they’ll last forever. We’ve rounded up the best places to shop for fake but realistic-looking flowers.

1. Ashley Stark Home

A purveyor of couture faux florals, Diane James collaborated with homeware brand Ashley Stark Home to create a stunning line of arrangements. These designs are true luxury with realistic-looking blooms in sophisticated vases.

Some of our favorite designs include the apple blossoms, peonies, and ranunculus in a glass vase, which even includes faux water.

For a more grand display, the magnolias in a terracotta vase stands nearly two feet tall—the perfect showstopper for your home’s entryway.

2. Perigold

Perigold offers a vast array of floral designs from elegant orchids to spritely peonies.

We love their decadent arrangements, including this painted vase full of sprawling florals, perfect for someone who likes the ornate.

3. Afloral

While there are no real flowers in Aflorals arrangements, you’d never know it. The bouquets from Afloral take a simple but elegant approach to florals.

Afloral’s tulip arrangements are refined and look real. The vase comes with the appearance of water and each stem bends beautifully to add some interesting shape to its design.

4. Unwilted

The blooms from Unwilted feature exceptional craftsmanship behind each stem. Bright and lively, these faux flowers are made from paper. Unwilted gives you the option to order by stem or in full arrangements.

For peony lovers, Everyone’s Favorite arrangement features gorgeous delicate petals and greenery. The Extra Spicy Please is a delight for someone who loves red roses and bold colors.

5. Balsam Hill

Balsam Hill makes the most realistic looking artificial Christmas trees, so it’s no surprise the company makes stellar fake flowers too. The faux florals come in containers, including woven baskets and ceramic or glass vases.

Transport yourself to the fields of the European countryside with the French market floral foliage arrangement. Or go for a classic mixed bouquet featuring dahlias in full bloom.

6. Neiman Marcus

Neiman Marcus sells an extensive selection of luxury goods, including fake flower arrangements that look as good as the real thing. The collection ranges from simple bouquets to avant-garde centerpieces.

The Winward Home hydrangeas in glass vase is a realistic-looking garden bouquet. For a showstopper that’s elegant and interesting, the John-Richards lilies and tulips arrangement is a gorgeous piece.
