As much as we love fresh floral bouquets, they look beautiful for a week or two — then, they turn to trash. If you have a green thumb, you may go for an indoor flowering plant, but they require care: frequent watering, proper sunlight conditions and a certain level of humidity. Some people argue that fake flowers look cheap or tacky, but there are tons of places to buy fake plants that look nearly identical to the real thing. Whether it's for a dining room centerpiece, outdoor window box or a DIY project for your wedding, we've rounded up the best fake flowers on the market — seriously, your guests will have no idea.

With artificial flowers, you can arrange the flexible stems in a vase and allow them to act as decor year-round. Swap your spring silk tulips for sunflowers (the perfect summer flower), or stick with minimalist blooms like white hydrangeas or dancing orchids. We've also included real-touch roses that look just as stunning as fresh florals — perfect for adding a bit of color and romance to your home design.

As you scroll, you'll get inspired to mix and match blooms to create a custom bouquet. But, there are also options to buy carefully curated floral arrangements. You'll find a number of quality fake flowers that are UV-resistant and waterproof, so you can even decorate outdoors. Probably the best part about faux flowers? You'll save a ton of money in the long run.

Often associated with romance, peonies are a timeless choice for home decor. Reviewers agree that these vintage-inspired florals are realistic and durable, with one writing, "they are some of the best quality silk flowers I have ever gotten."

Considering the nearly 15,000 five-star reviews, you can trust these silk tulips are beautiful and durable. For a low price, you'll receive 20 tulips. The individual stems make it possible to bend or cut the set to your liking. Choose from 51 life-like colors, including multi-colored bouquets.

These real-touch white hydrangeas are simple yet elegant. They have wired stems that are easy to bend or cut, plus they're available in other realistic colors, including mauve, blue and green.

Designed to look and feel like fresh roses, these dark mauve flowers make the perfect permanent centerpiece — your guests won't even know the difference. Afloral, a female-founded business, sells their stunning roses individually, so feel free to mix and match colors (we love the peach and lavender roses).

Sure, you can shop individual stems to craft your own bouquet, but OKA offers a number of gorgeous faux arrangements to save you some time. This eye-catching one has a mix of faux eucalyptus, hellebores (both opened and closed) as well as hydrangeas.

Whether you choose pink or white petals, these anemone stems look and feel like real flowers. Reviewers love that the faux flowers look realistic, noting that they feel silky and velvety.

This pick replicates the beauty and vibrancy of lush wildflowers. You'll receive six bundles, making for a full and lively arrangement. Added bonus: The faux flowers are temperature and UV resistant, so you can use them outdoors.

Elevate your tabletop with a floral arrangement that lasts forever. Sold as bunch of 10 stems, this artificial lavender looks just like the real thing. Plus, it's UV-resistant and waterproof, so you can use it indoors or outdoors.

With gorgeous yellow blooms, this dancing orchid spray looks beautiful paired with large florals or on their own. They are easy to bend and trim, so you can add them to any vase.

Terrain offers a number of everlasting blooms modeled after real specimens. This faux poppy stem is available in pink or orange — sure to add a pop of color to your home (this one isn't recommended for outdoor use).

Baby's breath is a simple and sophisticated flower, but can also serve as colorful home accent. Keep it classic with white baby's breath or go for blue, orange, pink or red buds.

Sold as a set of three, these charming Queen Anne’s lace stems make beautiful filler for an arrangement, but they also work well on their own. From the thready leaves to the blooming florals, these faux stems are very life-like.

Featuring delicate white flowers on weeping branches, these faux spireas are made from upcycled fabric and recycled plastic bottles. The flexible stems can be cut with clippers, so you can customize your arrangement.

With bright yellow petals, sunflowers are a great way to brighten your interior. These artificial sunflower bouquets (four in total) are flexible and detachable, making them a great choice for home decor or crafting.

Although The Sill is known for its selection of live plants, it sells a number of faux stems. Anthuriums aren't too difficult to grow indoors, but these faux stems are just as beautiful for zero of the work.
