Effortless elegance of permanent blooms
Once upon a time, I disliked decorating spaces in my home with artificial flower arrangements. While they may have looked good from afar, I felt the silk flowers that were available felt and looked too fake. In recent years, you can now find quality, lifelike flowers that are so impressive and are guaranteed to inspire compliments!
Flowers…they can welcome us home after a long day, lift our spirits or a dreary day and instantly enliven a space in our home.
Recently, I visited my local nursery for a look at what faux florals they brought in for this spring season. Last year, I purchased pretty pink cherry blossom branches and pink & white stock. This year, I was happy to find they were carrying white cherry blossom branches and real touch roses in pink and white. I decided to style and decorate our master bedroom with these lifelike beauties!

Tips on how to style and decorate with artificial flowers
- When selecting artificial flowers, choose quality blooms. Some may be a bit pricey but to know that they are everlasting and you can use them all season long is an investment that will pay off at the end. Bonus? You don’t have to worry about changing out the water.
- Keep it simple, keep it sweet. When styling and decorating with faux blooms, pick a color that compliments your room decor. Here in the bedroom, I went with all-white flowers, since the room decor is a neutral white and cream. The monochromatic faux flower arrangements creates a wonderful mix of comforting color which provides a quiet pause at the end of the day. If you want a pop of vibrant colors to contrast the palette in your space and you plan to decorate with more than one arrangement, be sure they are in the same hues so that it looks cohesive in your room. Meaning, you don’t want to display one arrangement that is pink and white and then another that is yellow and purple, for example.
- When choosing a vessel to display your artificial flowers, select a vase that covers the artificial branches from being seen. I like to use vases that are for decorative purposes only, those are the prettiest and you won’t have to worry about ruining it with water inside.
- Depending on what type of artificial flowers you use, I like to arrange the faux flowers in a way that looks natural. To do this, I bend the stem and/or the neck of the flower. This will make them appear to look as though this is the way they are naturally blooming.

I can’t tell you how amazingly realistic these roses look! From the real touch and crinkled petals, to the edge cut leaves, and tiny thorns on the branches.
