Faux florals have come a long way from the stiff, plastic arrangements of the past. At Third & Main, our True Bloom line of faux florals is designed to look and feel remarkably lifelike, making them the perfect addition to your fall decor. Unlike fresh stems, they don’t fade, wilt or require constant upkeep — but they still bring warmth, color and texture to your space. Here’s how to style True Bloom faux florals this season to create inviting autumn arrangements that last from September through Thanksgiving (and beyond).
Why Choose True Bloom Faux Florals
True Bloom faux florals are designed with such lifelike details and seasonal colors that most people can’t tell they aren’t fresh. They capture the richness of fall without the fleeting timeline of real stems. Because they stay vibrant year after year, they’re a smart investment — pieces you can reuse and restyle each season. They’re also endlessly versatile, pairing beautifully with vases, centerpieces, trays and seasonal accents. Best of all, they’re low maintenance: no water, trimming or weekly refresh required. You can style them once and enjoy the look all season long.
Step 1: Choose the Right Stems
The first step in creating a fall arrangement is choosing stems that reflect the season’s warmth and texture. Wheat and grasses instantly add height and natural movement, giving your arrangement a grounded, rustic look. Eucalyptus and olive branches bring fullness and greenery, serving as the perfect base layer. To soften the display and introduce rich autumn tones, add hydrangeas or dahlias in shades of burgundy, rust or golden yellow. For the finishing touch, berry sprigs bring dimension with pops of deep red or plum that keep the arrangement from feeling flat.
Step 2: Pick the Perfect Vessel
Your vessel sets the tone for the entire arrangement. Rustic ceramic jugs or stoneware vases lend a farmhouse feel, perfect for cozy fall decorating. If your style leans more modern, a sleek glass cylinder creates a clean, elegant backdrop for your florals. For something organic and casual, a warm-toned wooden bowl works beautifully, especially when paired with faux greenery and smaller stems. Choosing the right vessel ensures your arrangement feels intentional and cohesive with the rest of your space.
Step 3: Layer and Arrange
Once you’ve selected your stems and vessel, it’s time to arrange. Start by placing taller grasses or eucalyptus stems to create structure and height. Next, add depth by tucking in medium-height flowers such as hydrangeas or dahlias, which bring fullness and softness. Finally, finish with accents like berry sprigs or smaller blooms that add movement and visual interest. A simple trick to keep your arrangement feeling natural is use the rule of three. By working in odd numbers — three or five stems of each type — you can create balance without leaving the arrangement looking overly staged.
Step 4: Style Around the House
True Bloom florals are versatile enough to shine in any space. On your dining table, try a low arrangement that serves as a centerpiece without blocking conversation. For the mantel, a tall vase filled with eucalyptus stems pairs beautifully with pumpkins and lanterns to anchor your fall display. On a coffee table, a small jug with wheat stems styled on a tray alongside a candle adds warmth without overwhelming the space. And in the entryway, a bold arrangement makes a welcoming statement for everyone who walks through your door. With just a few thoughtful touches, you can bring autumn’s beauty into every corner of your home.
Step 5: Mix with Seasonal Accents
Pair your True Bloom florals with pumpkins, lanterns or textured fabrics to complete the fall look. For example, a jug of burgundy hydrangeas next to a white pumpkin and a lantern creates an effortless vignette that's seasonally on point.
The Bottom Line
Faux florals aren’t just a practical choice for fall decorating — they’re a design investment.
