Don’t get us wrong, we love a small hand-tied posy of wild flowers, or a bunch of daffodils wrapped in tissue or brown paper as a simple Mother’s Day gift, but how about something a little different this Mothering Sunday? (March 15th 2026). We always have our eyes on a ‘forever fashion purchase’, so why should flowers and interiors be any different? These everlasting and eternally stylish bouquets will sit on the mantle, sideboard or bookshelf, and offer a stunning display in your home for many, many years to come (and long after the children have left home). Take a look at our edit of the very best Mother’s Day fake flowers that will, well, bloom forever!
Felt Flowers
Possibly the most beautiful faux flowers we have ever seen! These felt blooms are designed and made by mother of 2 Yuki (a.k.a The Felt Florist) and really will be a thing of beauty in any room. These felt flowers are durable and sturdy – unlike fresh flowers that wilt, tear or fall apart – which means they really will last forever. These botanicals are made with wool blend felt that is originally designed and hand cut and placed on a wrapped wire stem. You can therefore bend each stem as you wish, to style the flowers in your bouquet or vase at home.
Did you know? The name Tsubaki is primarily a female name of Japanese origin that means Camellia Flower.
Bear with us. These are the not the dusty dried flowers of your great-grandmother’s home. These everlasting ‘Baked Blossoms’ are hand-made in Dorset and come in an array of modern, bold and bright colours that just POP. Each bunch features a mixture of dried and preserved flowers that have been painted, dyed or are natural in colour to produce eye catching bouquets. Delivered in printed paper with luxury ribbon, some are delivered in rustic vases and jars for instant display.
Note: The Baked Blossoms bunches last up to a year or longer if cared for as detailed on the comprehensive care card included with item.
Plastic Flowers
Tapping into the adult collector – and especially women – Lego first introduced its botanical collection during covid -and it now offers a large selection of buildable blooms. We especially loved the Sprig flower bouquet from the debut launch – but this petite bouquet is on this year’s wish-list. Each set includes elements from sustainable materials and a detailed booklet with instructions and further information on each flower.
Fake flowers have come a long way, believe us! The modern ‘hyper-realistic’ artificial flower can look totally authentic, as many are now they are made using a variety of different materials like fabric, silks and resins. In fact these ‘real touch’ faux flowers, feel just like the real thing – without any of the maintenance.
The crème de la crème of paper flowers come from The Green Vase (which are shipped in from New York). These exquisite hand made paper blooms are made by Livia Cetti, an artist, stylist and ex Style Ed at Martha Stewart Magazine and have graced the windows of Jo Malone and Tiffany & Co. no less. Each piece is inspired by the organic world and custom made by hand, crafted as an impressionistic gesture capturing the spirit of the flower, meaning that just like the real thing, no two will ever be exactly alike.
Fabric Flowers
When we found this website we couldn’t believe our eyes! “Faux, not fake” is what they say and trust us – they look authentic even up close. Designed and curated by in-house florists, each piece is crafted from premium materials, with hand-painted, individually shaped stems, leaves and petals that faithfully mirror real flowers. Want Peonies all year round? – Oh, yes please! We also love the selection of plants and succulents.
Care Tips for Artificial Flowers
Artificial flowers are wonderfully low maintenance, but a little care luxury faux flowers can last a lifetime.
1. Dust monthly…
Use a hairdryer on a cool setting to gently blow away dust from petals and leaves. This is especially important for white and lighter-coloured blooms, where dust marks are more noticeable.
2. And, use the right tools
Or, use a spray air duster (ideal for plastic flowers, like Lego) as it blasts away dust and debris. Use a small make-up or power brush to get into smaller spaces.
3. Remove marks carefully
If you notice a mark on sturdier stems or petals, gently wipe with a slightly damp cloth to lift the stain.
4. Take extra care with delicate blooms
Flowers such as tulips, lilies and magnolia (made from treated foam) should not be exposed to water. Instead, use a baby wipe to carefully remove any marks.
5. Avoid direct sunlight
To prevent colour fading over time, keep arrangements out of prolonged direct sunlight.
