Artificial Flowers

Artificial Flowers That Look Real, Arranged by Florists Since 1999

The best artificial flowers do not look artificial at all. Ours are chosen and arranged by the same florists who have made fresh bouquets since 1999, so a silk peony has the right weight and a faux rose has the right curl. They give you the beauty of fresh flowers with none of the upkeep: no water, no wilting, no mess, just colour that lasts for years. Order before 12pm for same-day delivery in Cape Town and Johannesburg, or send artificial flowers nationwide across South Africa in 2 to 4 business days.

Silk Flowers and Faux Blooms That Last for Years

Silk flowers are the quiet luxury of the artificial world, and ours are made to be looked at closely. The Garden Whisper silk bouquet, the Ivory Edit silk bouquet and the Wild Honey silk bouquet arrive arranged and ready to place, no vase-fussing required. Because they never wilt, they hold a room together for years, not days. Our guide to the best artificial flowers for home decor shows how to mix silk and faux blooms so the result looks collected, not catalogue.

Artificial Flower Bouquets and Arrangements

Want something that arrives finished? Our artificial flower bouquets and arrangements are built to sit straight on a table or mantel. The Rose Olivia soft pink arrangement and the Cabbage Rose pink pearl bring instant softness, while the bougainvillea spray adds height and colour. Pair any arrangement with a vase from our range, and it is done. Our fun facts about flowers feature is a lovely browse while you choose your palette.

Fake Flowers vs Real Flowers, and When Each Wins

People search for fake flowers when they want the look without the lifespan, and both have their place. Real flowers are unbeatable for a single, emotional moment, which is why we still hand-tie fresh flowers and roses for sale every day. Artificial flowers win when you want colour that lasts: a mantel you do not want to re-buy weekly, an office, a holiday home, or a gift for someone who travels. There is no wrong choice, only the right one for the moment, and our the power of flowers and rose gifting guide pieces explore both sides.

Artificial Flowers for the Home and Table

As home decor, artificial flowers earn their place. A bowl of mauve peonies or a jug of pink wax flower lifts a room with zero maintenance, and taller stems like bougainvillea at 75cm work as a floor-standing feature. Finish the table with a scented candle from our range, and the styling is done. Our flower care guide even covers keeping faux blooms dust-free so they stay looking their best.

Artificial Roses, Peonies and Hydrangeas

Our most-loved artificial blooms are the classics done well. Choose a lifelike full rose, a soft white peony or a pink peony, and add fuller heads like the white hydrangea for depth. Each is dense and true to colour, the way a florist would pick them. Love the real thing too? See fresh roses and peonies, or browse everything by bloom in flowers by type. Our guide to red roses covers choosing the real version when the moment calls for it.

Flower Crowns and Silk Flowers for Weddings and Events

Artificial flowers are made for weddings and events, where they need to look perfect all day and survive being handled. Our Angelic flower crown, Blossom Charm crown and Blooming Grace crown are ready to wear, and the playful Girls Just Want to Have Fun crown is a hen-party favourite. Our how to make a flower crown guide and our wedding flower meanings guide help you plan the details.

Artificial Flowers for Graves and Memorials

Artificial flowers are a caring, practical choice for a grave, where fresh blooms cannot be tended often. Silk and faux arrangements hold their colour through sun and wind, so a resting place stays cared for between visits. Our funeral flowers and sympathy flowers pages cover fresh tributes for the service itself, while our artificial arrangements are the gentler choice for the months that follow. The Swan Bloom cosmos is a soft, lasting option.

Nationwide Delivery of Artificial Flowers

Because they do not wilt, artificial flowers travel beautifully, so we send them further than fresh. Order before 12pm for same-day delivery in Cape Town and Johannesburg, or choose nationwide gift delivery to send artificial flowers anywhere in South Africa within 2 to 4 business days. Prefer fresh for a local gift? Our same-day flower delivery, Cape Town and Johannesburg pages, plus flowers near me, have you covered, and a gift box or something from gift boxes for her pairs beautifully with any bloom.

Because our silk and artificial flowers are not perishable, we courier them to every province, from Gauteng and KwaZulu-Natal to the Eastern Cape, reaching Durban, Pretoria, Gqeberha and any suburb a courier can access. Living overseas? Many of our customers in the UK, Australia, Canada, the USA and New Zealand send flowers online to family back home in South Africa, and artificial arrangements are the perfect choice when you want the gift to last. Order online, add a free message card, and we handle the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do your artificial flowers look real?

Yes. Our artificial and silk flowers are chosen and arranged by florists, so the shape, colour and detail match real blooms closely. We pick dense heads and natural stems rather than flat, plasticky ones, which is what makes the difference between a faux flower that convinces and one that does not.

How long do artificial and silk flowers last?

Years, with basic care. Because they do not rely on water, our artificial and silk flowers keep their colour and shape almost indefinitely indoors. An occasional dust and keeping them out of harsh, constant sunlight is all they need to stay looking fresh season after season.

What is the difference between silk flowers and artificial flowers?

Silk flowers are a premium type of artificial flower, traditionally made with fabric petals for a softer, more realistic finish. All silk flowers are artificial, but not all artificial flowers are silk. We label ours clearly so you can choose the look and budget that suits you.

How do you clean artificial flowers?

Dust them gently with a soft brush, a hairdryer on a cool setting, or a light shake outdoors. For silk blooms, a barely damp cloth on the petals works well. Avoid soaking them. Regular light dusting keeps artificial flowers looking their best for years.

Can I use artificial flowers for a grave?

Yes, and many people do. Artificial flowers hold their colour through sun, wind and rain, so they keep a grave looking cared for between visits when fresh flowers cannot be tended often. They are a practical, respectful choice for memorials and remembrance.

Are artificial flowers good for weddings?

Very. Artificial and silk flowers look perfect all day, survive handling, and can be kept as a memento long after the wedding. They are ideal for crowns, bouquets and table styling, especially for outdoor or destination weddings where fresh flowers would struggle in the heat.

Do you deliver artificial flowers nationwide?

Yes. Because they are non-perishable, we courier artificial and silk flowers anywhere in South Africa within 2 to 4 business days. In Cape Town and Johannesburg you can also choose same-day delivery when you order before 12pm, Monday to Saturday.

Are your artificial flowers sold as single stems or arrangements?

Both. You can buy single artificial stems to style your own displays, or choose a ready-made silk bouquet or arrangement that arrives finished. Every stem and bouquet shows its current price on its own card, so you can mix and match to your budget.

Is it cheaper to buy real or artificial flowers?

Artificial flowers cost more upfront but save you money over time. A fresh bouquet lasts a week or two, while a quality silk arrangement stays beautiful for years with nothing more than an occasional dust. If you like flowers in the house year-round, artificial blooms for permanent displays and fresh flowers for special occasions is the most cost-effective mix.

What are fake flowers called?

Fake flowers are usually called artificial flowers, silk flowers, faux flowers or permanent botanicals. Silk flowers once meant blooms made from silk fabric, but today the term covers any high-quality artificial flower whatever the material. Our range includes silk, latex and blended-fabric stems chosen to look and feel like the real thing.
