Here are 9 easy tips to keep in mind for your decorations with artificial flowers.

1. Research your flowers

Before you go ahead to get the artificial flowers you like, it helps to know a bit about real flowers. This was you can more easily recognize the quality of your buy and select a design that is realistic to the flowers you want to use.

2. Choose high quality artificial flowers

The best artificial flowers you can get are always realistic. Their material should be silk; their design should fool you unless you know they are artificial.

3. Pick natural colors

We mention this, because you will find that artificial flowers have almost no limit in the colors they can come by. Their wide color variety is perfect for those who want a specific color theme with their flowers.

4. Avoid extra details

Avoid artificial flowers with extra details that do not belong to the flowers you are looking for. By this we mean, to be on the look out for realistic looking artificial flowers.

5. Limit your color selection

Due to the wide variety of color artificial flowers come in, its helpful to limit your palette. This way you can speed up your search. We recommend at least 3 colors that go together, as for a maximum we prefer to leave it to your imagination.

6. Include artificial flowers in your bouquets

You may already have a flower delivery service, that supply you with an ever changing arrangement of flowers. Artificial flowers can supplement them with out of season blooms, so that you never have to wait for your favorite flowers to come into season.

7. Always use odd numbers

A good rule of thumb for flower arrangements is to stick to add numbers. Odd numbers are believed to be lucky in many countries. Odd numbers are an ideal design because you avoid the uniformity that can suppress the beauty of your flower arrangements. Go for sets of 3, 5 or 7 flowers in your arrangements.

8. Combine different heights and flower sizes

To make your artificial flowers look even more real, we suggest to bend, instead of cutting, the stems of your blooms and to have flower heads of different sizes. This way, you can easily show a master’s skill when arranging your artificial flowers.

9. Just add water

The best and easiest way to enhance any artificial flower is to add water to your bottom of your bases. This common sense method, is usually avoided because artificial flowers don’t need water. Still, add the water, then step back and watch how, almost magically, your artificial flower arrangements look even more real than before.
