We’ve long been fans of amazing faux flowers, but let’s be real—there’s always room for improvement. We spent months hunting for faux florals that met our admittedly sky-high standards, and when we just couldn’t find options that ticked all the boxes, we took matters into our own hands. Drum roll, please… Allow us to introduce you to True Bloom Floral, Third & Main’s very own faux flower collection! Here’s what makes these blooms the best on the market.
So Realistic, You’ll Want To Sniff Test
Real flowers are so wonderfully intricate. There are the varying textures from petal to leaf to stem, the color gradient from the center of the petal to the tips and where it attaches to the stem, and the diversity in structure and proportion, all of which can be impossibly hard to recreate. To make faux flowers look real, you need to be keenly aware of the natural asymmetry or symmetry in the real thing and use materials that mimic their natural, organic “give.”
Well, not to brag, but we did just that! We use a high-quality polymer that’s extraordinarily lifelike and flexible, and it’s as soft as, well, a petal. It gives these blooms an incredibly natural texture and appearance, with the kind of color variations worthy of Mother Nature herself. They’re so realistic, these faux flowers pair beautifully in arrangements with real flowers, which means they stand up in a side-by-side comparison. Incorporating a few faux stems is a brilliant way to add structure, fill in gaps and generally amp things up with your fresh arrangement. Pro tip: Keep the ends of the faux stems out of the water.
Minimal Upkeep
The beauty of a great faux flower is the lack of maintenance. No green thumb? No problem! You never need to worry about watering, pruning or whether these flowers have the right amount of light. The real issue with faux flowers is the potential for dust, but our polymer is easily wiped with a dry or slightly damp cloth to keep these blooms looking fresh and vibrant forever. When it’s time to switch out your arrangements, store these stems upright or flat in a cool, dry space. They’ll look just as incredible when you pull them out next season!
Offered In Stems, Bundles & Arrangements
We thought carefully about the best way to offer True Bloom Floral, and we decided it’s best to let you be as hands-on (or off) as possible. In the Third & Main floral shop, you can buy these incredible faux florals by the stem, in bundles or in premade arrangements, with a range of flower types from which to choose—roses, tulips, hydrangea, delphinium, and the list goes on! It makes it easy to get exactly what you want for your home decor needs.
The Takeaway
With True Bloom Floral, there’s no more compromising the look of real flowers for the convenience and longevity of faux. We’re already hearing from thrilled customers who can’t believe how incredibly lifelike their new faux flowers are. If you’re ready for faux flowers that are heads and tails (or should we say, heads and stems?) above the rest, shop Third & Main’s exclusive collection today!
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best faux flowers?
True Bloom Floral offers the most realistic faux flowers, thanks to a high-quality polymer that perfectly replicates the textures, colors and imperfections of the real thing. This material gives our faux flowers the organic “give” of fresh flowers—they look so real, you’ll need to check twice!
Is silk the best material for faux flowers?
Silk is a definite upgrade from polyester, and it can give the finished product a smooth texture, vivid coloring with subtle variations and flexibility. But it’s delicate, so long-term durability can be a concern. Polymer is a popular alternative that offers incredible versatility for realistic fake flowers, excellent resistance to fading, tearing or bending (a problem with silk), and vibrant colors and gradations.
