As much as we love fresh floral bouquets, they look beautiful for a week or two — then, they turn to trash. If you have a green thumb, you may go for an indoor flowering plant, but they require care: frequent watering, proper sunlight conditions and a certain level of humidity. Some people argue that fake flowers look cheap or tacky, but there are tons of places to buy fake plants that look nearly identical to the real thing. Whether it's for a dining room centerpiece, outdoor window box or a DIY project for your wedding, we've rounded up the best fake flowers on the market — seriously, your guests will have no idea.
With artificial flowers, you can arrange the flexible stems in a vase and allow them to act as decor year-round. Swap your spring silk tulips for sunflowers (the perfect summer flower), or stick with minimalist blooms like white hydrangeas or dancing orchids. We've also included real-touch roses that look just as stunning as fresh florals — perfect for adding a bit of color and romance to your home design.
As you scroll, you'll get inspired to mix and match blooms to create a custom bouquet. But, there are also options to buy carefully curated floral arrangements. You'll find a number of quality fake flowers that are UV-resistant and waterproof, so you can even decorate outdoors. Probably the best part about faux flowers? You'll save a ton of money in the long run.
