HOW TO CHOOSE FAUX FLORALS THAT LOOK REAL
Look for natural color variation
Realistic faux florals feature subtle shifts in tone and depth rather than flat, uniform color. These variations help petals catch the light the way fresh blooms do.
Choose soft, flexible petals and stems
High-quality faux florals — especially real touch varieties — have a natural softness and gentle movement that mimics fresh flowers, rather than stiff, molded shapes.
Pay attention to petal shape and layering
Blooms should feature varied petal sizes and organic, slightly imperfect edges. Uniform shapes are often the quickest giveaway of an artificial stem.
Check the stem detailing
Well-made stems include natural bends, visible veining, and realistic coloration — not shiny finishes or overly rigid construction.
Scale matters
Faux florals should feel proportional to both your vase and your space. Oversized blooms can overwhelm, while undersized stems can feel sparse or underwhelming.
Prioritize quality over quantity
A few thoughtfully chosen stems styled with intention will always look more refined than a dense arrangement of lower-quality florals.
Style them intentionally
Pair faux florals with a well-chosen vase, vary stem heights, and gently bend stems to create natural movement. A little restraint goes a long way.
what are real touch florals?
Real touch florals are a premium category of faux florals crafted with advanced materials that mimic the feel and appearance of fresh flowers.
Unlike traditional silk florals, real touch stems feel soft to the hand and feature lifelike petals, flexible stems, and natural movement—making them nearly indistinguishable from real blooms at a glance.
Floral Styling & Placement
How to style faux florals
Caring for your faux florals
Because staying effortlessly beautiful still takes a little effort.
Dust Happens (But It Doesn’t Have to Stay)
Gently dust your florals every couple of weeks using a soft microfiber cloth, feather duster, or a cool blow dryer set on low. For occasional refreshes, lightly wipe petals and leaves with a damp (not wet) cloth. Think of it as a spa day, not a power wash.
Avoid the Spotlight
Stems love a bright room, but prolonged direct sunlight can cause fading over time. For best results, style them where they can glow—just not bake.
Let Them Breathe
Avoid storing florals in airtight containers or sealed plastic bins. These aren’t holiday decorations—they deserve a little space. If you’re rotating arrangements seasonally, gently wrap them in tissue and store in a breathable container.
Fluff and Style
Petals may flatten slightly during shipping. Simply reshape with clean, dry hands. Bend, adjust, and style to your liking—these florals are as flexible as they are beautiful.
