Roses are red. Violets are blue. We love fake flowers, and soon, you will too. Artificial flowers are more popular today than ever before, and with good reason. Not only are many of them virtually indiscernible from their natural counterparts, but they’re far more affordable, especially when you consider re-use. Plus, with faux ones, you no longer have the hassle of worrying about allergies, which flowers are pet-friendly, and when to water them.
If you have even a semi-frequent need for flowers for personal or business events, then you know how expensive real ones can be. What’s more, continually purchasing such a perishable product only worsens the environmental strain caused by the global supply chain.While artificial flowers can also be expensive (due to the materials required to make them look as lifelike as possible), we know that you more likely run the risk of buying ones that look cheap and are bad quality.
That's why we put together the best places to buy artificial flowers online. Whether you’re looking to spruce up your home with some sprightly pink roses or need flower arrangements for a wedding, we’ve got you—and nothing smells sweeter than that.
1. Target
- Our Favorite: Artificial Mini Arrangement Potted Plant Lavender—$5
- Price: $
- Return Policy: 90 Days
Budget-friendly and numerous, Target is one of the most well-designed sites when it comes to filtering choices for fake flowers. As soon as you enter the plants section, it gives you multiple buttons to choose from based on the size you’re looking for. It has a host of different floral options and offers detailed descriptions in the sidebar area. Plus, there’s a Target almost everywhere, and you can return most items in-store if you don’t feel like packaging them up to send back.

2. Etsy
- Our Favorite: 20-Piece Tulip Arrangement—$30
- Price: $$
- Return Policy: Varies by seller
It should be no surprise to find Etsy on this list. Fake flowers on Etsy come in all shapes, sizes and quantities, so be sure you know roughly what you want before searching. Otherwise, you could easily be overwhelmed by the sheer volume of options available. Perhaps the best thing about Etsy is its easy user interface, not to mention the fact that you’ve probably already spent hours (and dollars) on the site for other products.

3. Nearly Natural
- Our Favorite: Peony Silk Arrangement—$31
- Price: $$$
- Return Policy: 30 Days
Nearly Natural specializes completely in artificial plants and flowers (hence the name!). The website is extremely user-friendly, and the photos are well done, offering a good glimpse into what your flowers should look like when they arrive.
You can filter your search by indoor vs. outdoor flowers. It also has a “seasonal” listing with many options, depending on the time of year.

4. Pottery Barn
- Our Favorite: Faux Vibrant Spring Ranunculus Bundle—$59
- Prices: $$$
- Return Policy: 30 Days
Pottery Barn is a well-known retailer of home décor goods, and its website is just a more convenient extension of its brick-and-mortar locations. It has an incredibly huge inventory, and the site has multiple photos (up to six or seven for many products) of many of their flowers. It also offers specific dimensions to ensure the best fit.

5. Afloral
- Our Favorite: Faux Tropical Bird of Paradise Arrangement—$260
- Price: $$$
- Return Policy: 30 Days
Afloral has a wide selection of artificial flowers but also offers a nice middle ground. You can find natural dried flowers, which give a more organic look, but without wilting. The site organizes artificial flowers by season, which makes it a convenient way to shop.
One thing Afloral has that most of the other sites don’t is the ability to see a video of many of its artificial flowers set in a living room. It’s a great way to envision how they’ll look in your own home and probably leads to less buyer’s remorse in the long run.

6. Anthropologie
- Our Favorite: Preserved Wildflower Bouquet—$118
- Price: $$$
- Return Policy: 30 Days
Anthropologie is primarily thought of as a clothing store. However, that doesn’t mean its home décor section is an afterthought. The retailer has an ample supply of gorgeous artificial and dried natural flowers, and you can spend all afternoon browsing its pretty petals. The beauty of Anthropologie is that it has an equal selection of dried and fake flowers, so you can easily mix and match to find the perfect combination for your own scheme.

7. Terrain
- Our Favorite: Faux Peach Blossom Spray—$34
- Price: $$$

While Terrain sells a fair amount of furniture and home décor, its flower section is where they shine. It's one of the few retailers that offer faux flowers, dried natural flowers, and fresh flowers all in one place. It’s a great way to compare options to make the most informed decision. Terrain also has detailed photos that allow the user to zoom in extremely close on every leaf and petal to see the quality.Zoom away!
