I have a number of faux flowers I purchased a year or two ago from your site. they still look wonderful. I wish I could include pictures of the arrangements. they always look fresh. during our flowering season here I add vases of fresh flowers from my garden around them, They are a shirt lifter. Using a brush is an added tool to keep they dust free. I usually us a blow dryer, thank you for another great tip.
Have a wonderful January.

Yes, it does make it sound so much better than fake, doesn’t it? I would use pretend over fake any day. Thank you for your sweet visit Sharon!

Jean, I agree, it makes the faux flowers look much more real depending on how you place them! Wishing you a wonderful and healthy new year too!

Thank you so much Edie Marie. : ) Flowers always bring joy, don’t they? Real or “pretend”, they remind of us of bright, sunny days ahead. Happy New Year to you too!

Thank you so much, Shannon! I have had to rely more on the “faux” too. Wishing you a blessed and relaxed weekend, friend. xo

Lidy, these are such helpful tips. Since the pandemic, I have had to resort to using more faux flowers. Especially in the winter months, when my gardens are asleep until spring. You have so many beautiful faux arrangements in your collection. I hope you have a wonderful weekend! Take care, sweet friend!

YES! I’ve used faux flowers & greenery for about 40 yrs now. I have made them for other people and even done silk flower weddings for people. I learned early on to only invest in faux flowers that look like real flowers. All of your tips are spot on and your collection of florals is amazing! It brings such beauty, warmth, calmness, joy and happiness in subtle ways. Thank you so much for showing all of us what faux flowers can do in our lives. Especially when some people can’t be around real flowers to liven their lives. Happy New Year Lidy and blessings always, Edie Marie

Bonjour, Lidy,
Happy New Year, even tho it is not to Happy but will be soon~
Yes I to love fresh flowers, but I have bought faux flowers a lot and the nice ones do look real. It helps to place them in the vases to make them look better. I have some now and also a few on my porch in lovely pots and people think they are real. Soon Spring will be here and we can all enjoy fresh flowers from our gardens again. nd Love all that you have shown. Take care and be safe.

Once again, you are generous with wonderful tips for us and our faux flowers. Don’t you just love that word, ‘faux’? It looks and sounds so much better than the word ‘fake’. :) I love the hint of using the hair dryer on cool and low!
Thanks for always being so kind and helpful to us, Lidy!

Eileen, thank you so much, it’s always a great idea to mix things up. Happy re-arranging!

I enjoyed this post. I am not in a position nor do I want to venture out these days to buy fresh flowers. I have gone a little nuts over the years buying all kinds of silk flowers as well as vases. I am starting to mix up the bouquets to provide a little interest rather than a vase of all the same thing.
