Hi there, hope you are experiencing some nice mild spring weather wherever you may be. Ours is off and on but for the most part, temps are starting to slowly rise and I am seeing the very first signs of spring. Just. few inches of my tulips and daffodil stems are starting to show, trees are ever so slowly starting to come back to life, something I anticipate greatly every spring.
No matter how long you have been following me, you know of my insatiable love of flowers. I treat myself to fresh flowers pretty regularly but try to tie them in to if I am entertaining, maybe need to bring flowers to someones home, a birthday, etc….and sometimes I buy it them just because:) However when I am not able to go out and buy them, I enjoy and get great pleasure from the next best thing, our beautiful collection of lifelike flowers. Many are so lifelike that I often mix them in with fresh flowers. I am including 25 beautiful reasons why I love them here.
Of course nothing can replace fresh flowers, but they can be expensive, they only last so long and that is where the redeeming qualities of these faux come into play. They last forever, always are in bloom, you can change the look by mixing in fresh flowers or even foliage and today they are all 25% off! So it’s a win/win. Let me show you what I mean….
Loved how this huge spray of purple lilac looked in one of our ginger jars, what a statement it made!
LOVE how these lily of the valley looked in our grand large tulipieres, this was a favorite.
Cherry blossoms and blue and white is a winning combination every time!
How pretty are our faux peonies!
Adore our lemon topiaries featured in one of our cylinder pots
How pretty is this big spray of delphinium
Fresh mixed in with faux, I only had a few flowers left from an old fresh arrangement so gave it new life with lily of the valley and hyacinth!
Sweet delicate lily of the valley in our white cane wicker planters
The vibrant purple and white hyacinths could literally fool anyone, even my husband tried to water them one day!
Cherry blossoms for the win! We offer them in a few different sizes these are the 44″
One of my all time favorite arrangements! Love the vibrancy of these colors against the blue and white.
Our French wire baskets make a beautiful planter for any flowers, love this all white vignette for spring
Another example of mixing in fresh with faux, this arrangement was over a week old and I had to pluck several flowers so filled in with some lily of the valley to extend the life
I loved how this came out, mixed in the oakleaf hydrangea, hyacinth and the lily of the valley…..gorgeous!
Hyacinths and lily of the Vally make a beautiful combination especially our square French white wire basket!
Our drop in orchids are incredible and literally all you do is drop then in to your favorite container (if you need a specific sized moss ball, we do that too)!
Big spray of magnolia for fall
An example of mixing in fresh with faux, I added some of our lily of the valley here
A small arrangement of tulips and 2 stems of hyacinth in a small bud vase
Love crisp white hyacinths and tulips in a big blue and white bowl….
A closeup of the lily of the valley, beauty in a box! If I ordered fresh lily of the valley of this quantity it would cost at least 300-400 dollars, they are super expensive and hard to source

All the flowers are beautiful, but lily of the valley remind me of a gentler time when people really did stop to ‘smell the roses’. They look stunning no matter where they are placed.
I’m loving your lilacs, they are so realistic. I purchased your orchids and a planter a few years ago and have a nice selection of faux flowers but I am fussy. The little lily of the valley would be a great addition to my blue and white powder room in a small ginger jar or tiny urn, perfect for spring.Have you tried the cologne, Guerlein Muquet? It’s such a beautiful lily of the valley scent, one I’ve worn for years!
Love the Lily of the Valley. My Mother was a war bride. My Father met her in Italy while he was serving overseas. She made her wedding dress out of an old silk parachute. Her bouquet was a bunch of Lily of the Valleys. Every time I see these flowers, I think of her. I would display them in a blue and white pitcher in my living room.
Love the lily of the valley with the lilacs in the porcelain bowl. Can picture it in any room. I would mix them with fresh flowers and oak leaf hydrangeas.
I love the lily of the valley mixed with the purple hyacinths in a blue and white bowl. One can never get the real lily of the valley looking this good and it is always a great pairing with blue and white. It is always my favorite!
Faux flowers are the perfect gift for someone who is not feeling well. They require no maintenance, look stunning, and can be enjoyed for years to come. My favorites are the orchids and lily of the valley.
I’m a May baby so Lily of the Valley is my birth flower. I ordered your flowers several years ago and arrange a tabletop vignette of the flowers in one of your tole planters, along with your pierced white chargers and Carolyne Roehm dinner plates.
I’m a big fan of lily of the valley, but it is rarely sold anywhere in my neck of the woods. The faux ones are lovely and I would have it all over my kitchen in vases, teapots, and on chandelier to enjoy all year.
I would love a bouquet of the purple and white hyacinths, with lily of the valley mixed in. I would display in blue and white, on my dining room table. I love all of the faux flowers that I have purchased in the past, i.e. cherry blossoms in pink and white, as well as peonies. I also love the orchids that I purchased a few years ago! I gave my daughter a bouquet of your peonies and her husband asked how long they would last after they were on the dining room table for a few weeks!
I can’t choose just one of the beautiful and live-like flowers. But I really like the white Orchids and the Lilly of the Valley to use alone and as fillers with other flowers. The faux flowers would allow me to have beautiful flowers in my house that don’t aggravate my allergies.
I have loved Lilly of the Valley forever it seems, at least for the last 79 years. When I was a toddler, we lived next door to a house that had lots of them growing very near the fence. The fence had holes in it large enough for me to get my 2 year old hand through it to get to the Lilly of the Valleys. I would pick all I could get and take them into our apartment for my mother. She always had the biggest smile because she knew where I got them from, but she didn’t say anything. She hugged and kiss me. She was always so grateful for the little things I did for her. I miss her too!
The Lillies of the Valley are my Favorites! I love their delicate shape & amazing fragrance. I grow Lillies of the Valley in several locations in my garden & I’m always so sad when the season is over.
Your beautiful reproduction will keep my heart so happy for longer.
The Lilacs are my second favorite.
Love all of your flowers. But your lily of the valley is the most special to me. I grow them and put them in vases. But they only
last a few weeks a year. With your’s I can have the beautiful bunches all year long .
All of your flowers are so beautiful but I do love the Lily of the Valley sprays! I have fond memories of picking Lily of the Valley at my aunt’s home in Long Island when I was a little girl. They grew at her home like weeds! And the scent!!
I love Lily of the Valley! They smell so lovely and I like how you mix it with real flowers! I would do the same as a centerpiece on my kitchen table, to remind me Soring is coming!
To me, you can’t have a spring bouquet without lilacs. Unfortunately, they are the only flower that I am highly allergic to. You have given me the great idea of mixing in faux lilacs in with my other real spring flowers. Can’t wait to try.
Lily of the Valley has a delicacy that harkens to the soft feminine impulse. We cast our eyes upon it and those sweetest impulses of life arise within and express all around us, uplifting, uplifting, uplifting.
It is the mixture of spring floral harbingers that light my heart with the warmth of spring! Lilac…forsythia… cherry and apple blossoms loosely laced into simple containers of milk jugs and milk cans, mason jars and vintage hobnail glass- what clean breaths of air through a cozy home that brings fresh air memories through a screen door! I adore your lilacs and peonies.
I grew up with lilacs and their wonderful smell. Unfortunately, I live too far south to grow them, so they would be great to bring back all of those wonderful springs growing up!
Your post was so informative and the pictures are beautiful. Such a good idea to mix fresh with faux and the Lilies of the Valley are the perfect touch!
All are beautiful! But I keep going back to the lily if the valley in the tulipieres. The blue and white “pagodas” make the perfect container, allowing the delicate arch and petite individual “bells” to be seen and appreciated on their own.
I love the Lily of the Valley! They are such happy flowers and are beautiful on their own but can be mixed in with so many others. To me, they are the perfect mix of classic lines and just enough ornamention and embellishment.
They are all so pretty it’s hard to pick a favorite! Just looking at the lilacs I can almost actually smell them! I think those are my favorite but also adore the Lily of the Valley. We have a patch outside our back door which we started from a plant we moved from our last house and they have spread nicely. Looking forward to those blooming.
I have a black wire basket much the same as the white one you have pictured. I think an all white bouquet would be lovely in it. The contrast might be real interesting!
I like all your faux florals but the Lily of the flower is my favorite! Perfect for Mother’s Day and you can use in a smaller vase to make a stunning arrangement!
Lily of the Valley has always been special to me. My beloved maternal grandmother loved their fragrance and wore their namesake scent over the years. She was a special woman and when I see them, I always think of her.
Being born and raised in Florida, lily at the valley was a foreign flower! As a child I was introduced to Lily the valley on my mothers hand painted wedding invitation, which was framed and hanging in her bedroom. She was married post World War II, and had lily of the valley in her bouquet and on her invitation.
I always think of her when I see this beautiful flower. I would probably incorporate it to a kitchen bouquet of herbs that I can personally enjoy as I cooked. And of course I would be listening to Tony Bennett and reminiscing how my mother and I danced together in the kitchen!
They are all beautiful but my favorite is the lemon topiaries! I love the color yellow and lemons are so fragrant and add to any table. I am planning a spring dinner with my women friends and would love the dress the table with these lemon topiaries.
What a beautiful post! Your lily of the valley bouquets look gorgeous and bring back so many fond memories of my childhood. Lately, I’ve been on the hunt to find true “bells” as many blossoms are wide open and do not resemble the true shape of this flower. I fondly recall picking them from my great grandmothers side yard and the sweet aroma of our bouquets. Thank you!
My all time favorite flower is the peonie and I love the peonies you are offering to us! With their soft colors they would be lovely in any room in my home..
What beautiful faux flower arranging and photography. My favorites are certainly the Lily of the valley- if I could swim in them, I would! I very much would like my April birthdays to feel like spring in full bloom, but last year our snow wasn’t gone until May and then it snowed again in June. If I can’t count on real lilies, faux ones that can’t get frost-nipped on the way home from the store could be the perfect way to make my birthday dreams come to life.

I would put the Lily of the Vallat in a celadon vase.
For my wedding bouquet I had lily of the valley, Lilacs and white roses. The lilacs and lily of the valley were all sourced from my yard,
It is tooooo hard to make a decision, but I love the all-white vignettes, especially with the hyacinths!
I have a rather large coffee table AND I’m sure a rather large blue & white bowl filled with these Lily of the Valley would be perfect sitting on it!!
Love the Lily of the Valley. They remind me of my Grandmother who grew them on her farm and whose name was “Lily”.

I love them all because they are truly life-like and especially any mixed in white. Flowers just brighten my spirits!!
The French twist basket is my favorite
Marilyn
My all time favorite flower is the peonie and I love the peonies you are offering to us! With their soft colors they would be lovely in any room in my home..
I love your wicker planters. They are so pretty to decorate with your lovely faux flowers.
The Oakland hydrangea are my favorite and I would in a blue and white vase on my island.
All the flowers are beautiful — it’s too diffcilut to pick just one. I would display them on my mantel.
Lily of the valley was one of my mothers favorite flowers. So it always holds a special place in my heart now that she is no longer with me.
The orchids are stunning. I’m hosting a bridal shower for my niece and would be beautiful to mix faux with real flowers.
What beautiful faux flower arranging and photography. My favorites are certainly the Lily of the valley- if I could swim in them, I would!
