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 on Valentine's Day, 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. And if you really want to go all-out, spring for a Valentine's Day wreath, too.
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.
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.
These faux dahlias have a sweet mix of white, pink, and yellow tones. The stems even contain wire so you can bend them to fit the vase you choose.
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."
Amaryllis are an underrated treasure. Typically in bloom from late December to June, they are delicate and romantic. Pottery Barn's faux bouquet comes with three stems and approximately 11 blooms.
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.
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.
These full and fluffy hydrangeas come in 27 colors and have wire stems that can be cut to fit your vase. You can choose from lone blossoms or blossoms with leaves attached—both are pretty.
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.
Poppies have extremely delicate petals, making it easy to spot a faux, but thanks to strategic shading and smart polyester material, this one would fool almost anyone. This neutral bloom matches any interior style. Priced per stem.
Bunches of artificial lilacs make the most beautiful statement in a simple arrangement. There's no need to add any greenery or other accompanying florals—these beauties stand out on their own. Priced per stem.
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.
