A ROSE BY ANY OTHER NAME

Elegant stalks and gorgeous blooms elevate any décor to a more enticing level. But beautiful fresh flowers require maintenance, care and attention. In tropical climes, heat and humidity can wreak havoc on a bouquet. Luckily, designer faux blooms are making a discreet debut in home interiors, and fooling even the greenest of fingers.

Our artificial flowers are carefully handmade to capture the true beauty of real blossoms. Every petal, stem and leaf is unique—lovingly moulded by craftsmen who strive to create a natural, realistic look. To reflect nature as closely as possible, colours, textures and materials are chosen with the greatest care. Most blooms come with wired, flexible stems, which can be gently bent to form an arrangement. Not only do these bouquets look immaculate for several years, they make the perfect gift for occasions where fresh flowers are difficult to receive and care for— people recovering in hospital, for instance, or new parents.

One of our favourite tricks is to pair faux flowers with fresh foliage—such as a bouquet of real eucalyptus and artificial calla lilies—for a lush and long-lasting ensemble. For occasions, you can even place them in a small amount of water, to heighten the illusion—but avoid leaving them to soak for more than a day or two, and take care to dry them well afterwards.
