Top 20 Best Artificial Wedding Centerpieces & Bouquets

If you’ve landed on this post, chances are you’re already considering using faux floral in place of live cut stems for your wedding reception. If you’re still on the fence, trying to decide between real floral and fake flowers, here are a few reasons you might want to go faux.

Price: It’s no surprise that purchasing floral for your wedding can get expensive. This is the category that is almost always most shocking to new brides. According to ValuePenguine, the average cost spent on wedding flowers is around $2,000, and can go up considerably from there. Take out $500 for personal flowers (bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, etc.) and that still leaves you spending about $100 per centerpiece, at the low end. You’ll notice that many of the arrangements on this list are considerably less. Vases can be purchased wholesale for $10, so even those arrangements that don’t include one are less expensive.

Environment: Wedding flowers have a pretty sad life. Just like all other cut floral, their lifespan is short. You can lessen the burden on the environment by going local and choosing flowers that are in season, but even then, there’s a lot of waste involved in the wedding flower business. When you opt for fake floral, rather than throwing your arrangements in the garbage at the end of the night, you can keep them in storage for future weddings and events. Choosing artificial flowers also allows you to decorate with flowers that are out of season without paying for it.

Longevity: We’ve seen it a million times. 6:00PM strikes and the flowers that have been purchased for thousands of dollars look sad, deflated, browned, and all around awful. Summer weddings are when this happens most often, as cut flowers just can’t take the heat and humidity. With faux floral your centerpieces and bouquets will look like new throughout the entire day, regardless of external elements.

Here are 20 of our favorite artificial centerpieces, great for your wedding or event. If you’re in the midst of wedding planning, check out our entire wedding section for some awesome shopping posts and great wedding advice.

2. Vintage Artificial Peony Silk Flowers Bouquet

Peonies are one of the most popular wedding flowers but unfortunately, they’re only in bloom for a couple months of the year.

This faux version is extremely realistic looking and would work well in either a bouquet or a centerpiece. Each bouquet comes with 13 stems (with six flowers and two buds). If the pink tones aren’t your style, these are available in several other colors.
