In the immortal words of Ryan Gosling in the bizarre and under-appreciated movie Lars and the Real Girl, "Those are nice, huh? And they're not real, so they'll last forever." Yes, Lars knew the value of a good artificial bloom.
While we won't knock the real thing, faux flowers can be just as beautiful—and they won't wilt after a week on display. Having said that, the internet is full of subpar artificial arrangements. If you want to surprise your beloved with an arrangement they'll love for years to come, you've come to the right place. We've officially found the best artificial flowers available.
Even if their house is already full of fragrant flower displays, any of the below options would be a welcome addition. Remember, rose colors have different meanings, so don't send any mixed messages.
Say hello to summer with this gorgeous bundle of silk tulips that are truly life-like. With over 20,000 reviews, buyers say these faux fleurs are incredibly real-looking and make for a beautiful countertop decoration or spring centerpiece. Place them your favorite vase with water and we promise no one will know the difference.
A little lavender will add a fun pop of purple to any space. These realistic stems have a rustic yet versatile feel. They're made from faux silk for a lifelike finish that looks like they were just picked from the French countryside.
Here's one of our favorite selections for artificial peonies if you prefer a monochromatic look. This gorgeous bunch comes in two color combinations: white or bright pink. How realistic are they? One reviewer reports, "A guest came to my home and asked if I grew them myself."
Cherry blossoms have such a short bloom window that you're better off getting a faux option. This 14" bouquet from Nearly Natural comes with a large vase and would look beautiful in any room.
Live peonies are notoriously finicky to care for, so we say faux is the way to go. This beautiful silk bouquet has a stellar 4.5-star rating among many thousands of reviews. Happy customers have used these realistic blooms for everything from photo shoots to wedding centerpieces.
Finding realistic faux orchids at a decent price is no easy feat, but this gorgeous arrangement fits the bill and comes in a pretty ceramic container, too.
Incredibly elegant and oh-so beautiful, these calla lilies would look perfect in any home. There are seven color options, each with 10 stems.
Hydrangea stems are a classic bloom that is as well suited in an arrangement as it is in a vase alone. We love the notches on the stems of this option that give it a totally real look. White is a classic look, but there are 15 colors from which to choose.
Nothing says "romance" like red and pink roses, right? This arrangement, which reviewers say is surprisingly realistic, is ideal for Valentine's Day, birthdays, or the holidays. There's also a yellow and orange option if red is too cheesy.
Get the best of all worlds with this colorful spray of flowers. The arrangement of calla lilies, tulips, and lilies comes with tons of 5-star reviews, with buyers saying they are both stunning and realistic.
