FLORAL MATERIALS

Poly Silk & Fabric Silk flowers offer a very realistic appearance and a premium look

6

Foam

Faux florals can be produced in a wide range of materials, each offering a unique look and feel, especially when layered with additional materials and techniques.

Representing a more stylized look, foam also offers a durable and cost-conscious flower

Molded

Molded from latex or polyester, this type of flower offers a wide range of looks and costs

Paper

From semi-realistic to fully stylized, paper is a versatile and artistic floral option

Defining the style you want for your flowers can help determine what material might be the best fit.

Realistic

Attempting to closely mimic the look and feel of flowers and plants found in nature

Semi-realistic

Based on real plants, but taking some creative liberties with the end result

FLORAL STYLES

Stylized

Inspired by naturally occuring plants, but focused on a more abstract look

Florals are not limited to traditional bouquets! They can be made into natural looking plants, stylized wreaths, or one-of-a-kind art pieces.

Stems are the unsung hero of faux foliage, so be sure to consider the ways they can be used to enhance any floral display.

STEMS & BRANCHES

Molded

Wrapped Wire

Molded stems excel at mimicking the overall shape of natural stems and branches. By molding in a modular receptacle on the ends of stems, almost any type of floral or foliage can be added to a molded stem.

Paper-wrapped wire stems offer more in both color and texture, ranging from realistic to highly stylized.
