9 Of The Best Places To Buy Fake Flowers Online That Actually Look Real
A vase of fresh flowers is one of the easiest ways to add a touch of nature and bring some color to your space, especially if you work from home or don’t often have the opportunity to take walks in the park. Taking care of them however is a whole different ball game. Fresh flowers are moody, delicate things that need precise care, water and sun—bad news for anyone who lacks a green thumb (looking at mine as I type this). Plus, buying fresh bouquets regularly can quickly get expensive.
Terrain offers a wide range of beautiful dried stems and preserved bouquets that’ll add spring-like … [+] vibes to your home even in the dead of winter.
Terrain
Thankfully, artificial flowers exist, and they’re awesome. Since they require absolutely no maintenance, there’s no chance of them ever dying or wilting on your watch—which basically means that you don’t need to worry about ever replacing them either. They’ll look fresh and lively all year round. While faux flowers used to have a bad rap for looking too fake or plastic, that’s no longer the case. These days they’re specially designed to look incredibly authentic and real. You can opt for ones made from fabric and iron wire or go for dried and preserved blooms for an extra level of realism. Ready to swap finicky, expensive florals for ones that last a lot longer? Below, we’ve rounded up the best sites to find artificial or dried flowers that’ll give your fresh ones a run for their money.
