My Tried and True Faux Fall Stems (and the Trick to Making Them Look Real)
I ordered in a whole bunch of fall florals this year, and these are the ones that made the cut. My tried and true favorites.
Here’s the thing nobody tells you: don’t judge faux stems right out of the box. They show up flat, squished, and a little sad. Give them a quick steam and a good fluff, and you’ll be amazed at how they come alive and fill out. Some of my favorites looked like a total miss the day they arrived.

FAQ
How do you make faux stems look more real?
Steam them, then fluff and shape each leaf and petal by hand. It takes a few minutes and makes a big difference.
Should I return faux florals that look flat?
Not right away. Most stems are packed tight for shipping. Steam and fluff them first, then decide.
What vase works best for fall stems?
A vase with some weight and texture balances fuller fall stems. I’ve linked my favorites above.
