Description
This large artificial bouquet in pink gathers open poppy-style flowers, spiky thistle-like heads, frilled dahlia-style blooms, trailing sprays of small blossom and one big protea-style flower among broad leaves. It stands 109cm tall and spreads 40cm across, the scale of a generous florist's bunch rather than a posy, so it needs a tall vase or a floor vase. The bouquet is mostly polyester, and the stems come gathered at the base in crumpled paper tied with string, which makes it a lovely thing to hand over as a gift.
At this height it wants room around it, and we like it in a floor vase in a hallway, at the end of a long sideboard or in a spot beside the fireplace. Faux flowers do not wilt, so it suits places where fresh ones struggle, such as a guest room that sits empty for weeks, a holiday home or a reception desk. The mix of round, spiky and open flowerheads gives it a loose, just-gathered look that sits happily in a relaxed living room or a bedroom with a calm, pared-back scheme.
The bouquet is 80% polyester, 10% iron and 10% polyethylene, with a wrap of 100% paper, and it weighs 0.9KG. Before you display it, the maker asks that the stems are trimmed and folded into place, so give yourself a few minutes to shape it for your vase: open out the blossom sprays, lift the tall poppy-style stems and let the large protea-style flower lean to one side. Handle it with care to avoid breaking the leaves and flowerheads. The styling props shown are not included. For styling, choose a heavy vase with a fairly narrow neck, which holds tall stems upright, or leave the paper wrap in place and stand the bouquet in a deep basket for a just-picked look.

Frequently Asked
How big is the bouquet?
It is 109cm tall and 40cm across, so it suits a tall floor vase or a large vase on a sideboard rather than a small table vase.
What materials does it use?
The bouquet is 80% polyester, 10% iron and 10% polyethylene, and the wrap around the stems is 100% paper.
Does it need any preparation before use?
Yes. The maker says the stems must be trimmed and folded into place before use, so allow a little time to shape it for your vase.
How should I look after it?
The maker advises handling it with care to avoid breaking the leaves or flowerheads, so place it where it will not be knocked often.
Is a vase included?
