Welcome Spring With Some Faux Spring Stems

March 1, 2023

I'm officially embracing spring in every area of my life. I'm wearing fewer sweaters and more t-shirts, my nail color is popping, and my home decor is getting refreshed, starting with what I'm putting in my vases–spring stems. I would argue that what you put inside of the vase is equally important as the decorative vase itself, and when it's spring, you want them both to look and feel lively! I always recommend heading to your own yard and clipping whatever branches you have, but I also keep a collection of faux stems up in the attic for all seasons. The newest addition to the collection is these faux greenlight hydrangeas that are too good to pass up.

Shop The Dining Room

We have real hydrangeas planted in our yard, but they need more time to mature and bloom before I start clipping. In the meantime, I've been moving these faux limelight hydrangeas all around the house–they've been in our bedroom, the range nook, our living room, and now our dining room! One bunch is $11, and I put three in this vase for a fuller, more realistic look. I love them so much.

If you’re not in an area where branches are green quite yet, or you’re like me, and you want your branches to last longer… faux is a great way to go. Some might say it’s controversial, but these are not your grandmother’s fake flowers. Greenery has come a long way and looks and feels more realistic than ever!

I also got these faux lilacs that are impeccable. If you want the best of the best when it comes to fake greenery, Afloral is the way to go–everything they sell looks so realistic and true to life. I mixed in eight white and four pink, and they make the perfect spring bouquet!

Shop The Dining Room

Branches are a great (even free if you source outdoors) way to decorate your home seasonally and to make a big impact with little to no effort. If you want to invest in some faux spring stems to breathe fresh air into your home, here are a bunch that I would recommend.

  1. Does anyone know if there is a good place to look for Flourencourt wallpaper remnants? I'm 2 sections short! Ugh!

  2. Love my faux flowers! So easy to take care of! Do you have a recommended tool for cutting the stems to size. My cherry blossoms are the greatest challenge.

  3. I just bought some faux forsythia stems and I am loving the pop of yellow as we get out of winter!! Faux hydrangeas are definitely next on my list...

  4. I purchased the faux greenlight hydrangeas off your story a couple weeks ago and love them! They have been the prefect pop of spring to get me through these cold gloomy Feb days. :)
