Best REAL LOOKING Fake, Faux, Silk Flowers.

How to choose the correct material your artificial blooms are made from.


 

Materials:

  1. Polyester: This is the most popular choice for faux flowers. This fabric creates the most life like blooms. Polyester is great at accepting dyes and creating dramatic colorful blooms.

  2. Pongee: This is a thin woven silk fabric and is now made with a mix of silk,cotton and rayon. The flower will have a stiff feeling to the tough. Similar to a starched crunchy fabric.

  3. Real Touch (Polyurethane): Flowers are soft to the touch with a spongy feeling. They are made from plastics and hard to get bright flower colors like you can from fabrics.

  4. PVC- Polyvinyl Chloride: Mostly used to make fake pine.

  5. Plastic: Not as bad as you think. Soft plastic is great for greenery and filler flowers because they can mold the flower and get a more delicate impression and detail.

  6. Eva- Foam: I would stay away from this type of flower. They do not look real and super fake.

Tips on Arranging:

  1. Make sure your stems have realistic details to them.

    1. Look for curves in the stems, color of the stem should be similar to the real flower.

      1. Examples: While the head of these Ranunculus look good the stems in a glass vase alone will scream fake. Use these type of flower stems in a non clear vase.

2. Add a small amount of water to a clear was it helps make them look more real.
