Peonies are one of the most beautiful flowers you can buy. They’re known for their soft and delicate appearance, their sweet scent, and the way they bloom and brighten up any space. Unfortunately, they’re also very expensive to buy fresh and only bloom in certain seasons. That’s why I decided to try some artificial peonies from my local craft store, and I was surprised at how realistic they looked! In this post we’ll cover everything from buying tips to where you can find the best prices.
Why buy artificial peonies?
There are many reasons why you might want to choose artificial flowers over fresh ones. For one thing, artificial peonies are often much less expensive than their real-deal counterparts. They’re also easier to care for and more durable, which means you won’t have to worry about dying flowers or wilted stems.
If you’re looking for a long-lasting solution that doesn’t require daily watering and pruning, then an artificial peony could be right up your alley!
What are the best colors of peonies to buy?
Every color of artificial peony serves a different purpose, whether you’re using them in arrangements, wreaths, bouquets or centerpieces.
- Red: Red is the most popular color for artificial peonies and can look great with white and green. It’s also a good choice for holidays like Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Christmas.
- Pink: Pink has been used to symbolize femininity in cultures all over the world for centuries. For example, it was used in ancient Egypt to represent fertility (since women were thought to be able to produce new life). It was also used by Queen Victoria as her official color when she ruled England from 1837-1901 CE
How do you choose the right size peony flowers?
Choosing the right size for your artificial peonies is essential to achieving a beautiful, balanced look. There are a few things to consider when choosing the size of your artificial peony flowers:
- Proportion: Choose a size that is proportional to the flower vase you will be placing them in. For example, if you have a small-sized vase then choose smaller-sized artificial peonies and vice versa. This will help create an even flow throughout the arrangement while also keeping it balanced and cohesive as a whole.
- Room Size: If you plan on using your decorative arrangements in multiple rooms such as baths, bedrooms or living rooms then consider how big they need to be as well so they can fit comfortably without taking up too much space on any given surface area within said room(s).
- Table Size: You’ll want to consider where exactly this piece will reside before buying anything from here out because knowing something like that ahead of time will help ensure no mistakes occur later down the line when it comes time for styling; this includes both placement options as well as stylistic elements such as color schemes or typeface choices for calligraphy texts such as “thank you cards” which can make or break an entire decorating project depending upon how well thought out these details are beforehand!
How to make a beautiful flower arrangement with artificial peonies.
If you’re looking for a simple but elegant way to show off your artificial flowers, this is the one. It’s easy enough that even beginners can do it, and with these four steps you’ll have a beautiful arrangement in no time at all!
- Choose a vase that complements the artificial peonies. You want something with a wide mouth so it can hold plenty of water and flowers.
- Use floral foam to make a base for your arrangement. This will give structure and keep everything from falling over when you move it around later on.
- Add some fresh stems of flowers (like roses or irises) on top of the floral foam, then fill up any empty spaces with sprigs of greenery like baby’s breath or eucalyptus leaves—anything else would just get hidden under those big blooms anyway!
- Lastly, add some dried flowers (or maybe even some extra fake ones) for contrast against all that freshness—you’ll have an eye-catching centerpiece that’ll last through summertime parties without needing any care whatsoever!
Tips for making your own wreaths and bouquets with fake peonies.
Wreaths and bouquets can be made from fake peonies. In fact, they’re super easy to make. You don’t even need any special tools!
- If you want to make a wreath, simply take some wire and wrap it around the base of your fake peony. Then bend the wires into a circular shape and twist them together at each end.
- To make a bouquet, find a vase that matches your décor or theme, such as an orange vase if you have an orange theme in your home (or room). Cut some long leaves from real branches—not plastic ones—and place them in glass beads on top of the water inside the vase before adding flowers. Add fake peonies last so that they sit above everything else!
