These fantastic little things have come a long way since your grandma bought into the trend a few decades ago. The plastic or fraying vase of faded pink and blue florals are no more in the current sphere of decor and DIY fanatics! If you’ve been curious and looking for some projects to start with these dainty-looking pieces then read on for ideas from artificial wedding flowersto faux flower crowns.
- Wedding Flowers
There are so many benefits to ditching the fresh option for your wedding day. Maybe your allergies get in the way, or the bouquet is looking a bit sad by the time you’re walking down the aisle…Not the case for the artificial wedding flowers! These pretty poppies will outlast even the most durable of dancers and still keep their fresh appearances. Beyond the bouquet, you can most definitely use them as decor throughout your ceremony and reception for an eye-catching display!
- Feature wall/ Photo Backdrop
Easy as pie. Glue or zip-tie a big bunch of flowers, or even artificial greenery, to some mesh and stick that mesh up on a wall or inside a large frame. Ta-Da! A picturesque backdrop to anything! - Floral Wreath
Not just for the festive seasons, a floral wreath at your front door could be a wonderful a creative way to add a blossom of colour to your facade. A simple wreath could be a welcomed sight at the end of a long day too. Simply zip-tie yourfavourite stems, or a collection of different flowers and plants if you’re feeling extra florist-y, and hang that beautiful thing where it belongs! - Floral Ice Cubes
Sounds strange, but hear me out. This is a gorgeous way to bring a bit of pretty into your picnics or alfresco entertainment. It is also a brilliant way to use any bits or petals that may fall from your other projects. Pop a few clean silk florals into your ice cube tray with water, freeze and then use! - Wall Art
Want to add to your home art collection, but you’re not one with paint? Maybe you’re looking for an entirely new medium to use? Use the same method as the feature wall above, but get creative with your composition. Try an initial perhaps, or a pattern! - Floral Garland
This is such a cute way to add some spring into your rooms! It looks gorgeous in a nursery or for party decor. As easy as anything, tie a handful of artificial bouquets along a piece of string or twine and done! - Balloon Bouquet
Not as silly sounding as it might first come across. Blow up your balloons first, then tie either your scrap pieces, tiny wreaths or petite faux bouquets. This helps to hide that unsightly piece of tied off balloon! - Submerged Floral Centrepiece
Such a stunner of a decoration, this wonderful and enchanting object is silly-simple to create. Drop in your artificial flowers, pour water over. Done. You can play around with things like fake vines or submerges sticks to give it a fuller finished look. - Flower Crown
A classic for everyone’s festival wardrobe or wedding outfit. If you’ve ever attempted at wearing a fresh flower crown before you can probably see the benefits already. No flies, no bees, looks fantastic all day, won’t wilt and these artificial flowers look gorgeous all year round! No need to wait for the right season to get your favourite flower. - Jar of Flowers
Similar to the submerged floral centrepiece, only better! Maybe not better, different. This is similar in construct except leave the water out of this one. Instead, perhaps delicately arrange some fairy lights or faux fruits to create a centrepiece that sprouts curiosity for all of your visitors.
