Description
This faux plant is a generous magnolia bouquet, gathered with pinecones and finished in warm brown tones for a natural, woodland-style Christmas. Large cream magnolia blooms sit at its heart, several with a seed pod at the centre, framed by broad copper-brown and plum-brown leaves and fine, feathery sprays of copper foliage. Clusters of small cream berries on slender brown stems lift the arrangement, and the pinecones tucked in around the blooms add an earthy texture. It measures 46cm from end to end and 34cm across, so it has real presence without crowding a shelf.
Lay it along a mantelpiece, rest it on a sideboard or hall table, or stand it in a tall vase or jug as a centrepiece for the Christmas table. The cream and brown palette sits happily in a cottage kitchen, a rustic living room or a calm modern space full of natural textures, and it pairs well with fresh greenery, wooden decorations and woven baskets. Because the blooms never wilt, you can set it out at the start of December, enjoy it right through the season, then pack it away and bring it out again the following year.
The bouquet is made from plastic and iron, and its long stem is neatly wrapped and tied with a beige bow just beneath the flowers, so it looks finished from every side. To keep it looking its best, dust it now and then with a soft dry cloth or a soft brush, and keep it away from radiators, open fires and candle flames. After Christmas, store it loosely in a box so the petals and foliage hold their shape. Wrapped in tissue with a sprig of greenery, it makes a lovely Christmas gift for anyone who prefers soft, natural colours to bright tinsel.
