The Best Faux Flowers for Summer & How to Style Them Beautifully
There’s something about summer that calls for freshness, colour and ease. But let’s be honest—keeping fresh flowers looking perfect in the heat can be hard work. That’s where faux flowers come into their own. And when they’re ultra-realistic and thoughtfully arranged, no one will even question them.
At Blossom’s House of Flowers, we believe faux flowers should never feel like a compromise. With the right combinations, they can bring effortless elegance into your home all summer long.
Here’s how to style our favourite faux stems for the season—plus a few vase pairings we absolutely adore.
What are the best faux flowers for summer?
In summer, we love soft, romantic colours mixed with fresh greenery. Our go-to stems include:
🔸 Peonies – with their dreamy, layered petals and romantic feel
🔸 Blush and white roses – classic and always in season
🔸 Ranunculus – perfect for adding a whimsical, garden feel
🔸 Eucalyptus and olive branches – for soft structure and contrast
🔸 Cosmos or sweet peas – for that “just picked” countryside charm
The trick is to mix delicate textures with bolder blooms to create depth and movement—something that mimics how flowers naturally grow.
Mixing your stems: our favourite combinations
Here are three foolproof combinations for summer that we absolutely love:
1. Wild Romance
Blush peonies + white roses + eucalyptus
Perfect for a coffee table or kitchen island. It feels soft, wild, and just a little bit luxurious.
2. Summer Glow
Cream hydrangeas + pale ranunculus + olive sprigs
This one’s for those who love a more structured, elegant feel. Add in a tall vase for height and drama.
3. Cottage Garden
Cosmos + lavender + wild greenery
Sweet and charming with a countryside vibe. Ideal for a hallway or windowsill.
✨ Don’t forget the vase – it makes all the difference
Styling faux flowers is as much about the vessel as the blooms. The right vase can totally transform the look. These are a few of our favourite finds this season:
Final touches
Once you’ve built your bouquet, don’t be afraid to play around. Bend the stems to suit the shape of your vase, stagger the heights, and don’t overthink it—sometimes the most natural-looking arrangements are the ones with a little movement.
