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 30th 2025). 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.

Dried Flowers
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. We especially loved the Sprig flower and Wild Flower bouquets from the debut launch. Lego have now increased their botanical offerings – with each set including elements from sustainable materials and a detailed booklet with instructions and further information on each flower. This year we have our eyes on these gorgeous pretty pink bouquet. (especially as it can be mixed and matched with the original flower bouquet to create our own unique bouquet.)

Fabric Flowers
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. When looked after luxury faux flowers can last a lifetime – just wipe clean with a dry cloth and keep out of direct sunlight to avoid fading and damge.

Helleborus Paper Flower Plant, $300, The Green Vase
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.
