Recommendations for artificial flowers

[SeLHopeful2024]

Can anyone recommend websites (or even shops in London area) that sell realistic artificial flowers?

I've googled artificial sunflowers and there's a big variety in how good they look on line.
Obviously the more expensive ones appear to look better, but wondering if there's any 'go to' places people recommend so I don't waste my money searching!

Thanks

Oka comes to mind.

Home sense / TKMAX do them and IKEA if you wanted to see them before purchasing.

I love Lego ones!

@Davros I already have loads of Lego ones.
They are the best artificial flowers for sure 🤣

When we are buying in artificial flowers, we often go to Lavenders of London - they have a warehouse near Isleworth, but are also in New Covent Garden.

The friend I do the arrangements with is a floral designer for stage and film, so we go to the places where professional arrangers/designers go to buy in flowers.

We also buy in from Triangle Nurseries; we buy fresh flowers, but they have artificial ones as well.

I’m using artificial sunflowers in my wedding and the best ones were from wilkos and SHEIN 😊

in general I got some really lovely ones from Primark and from SHEIN across the board. There’s some on SHEIN that I bought (some roses and little flowers) that are GORGEOUS and really realistic if you want any links!

Here's some!

I haven't ordered any yet @SensibleSquirrel
Some of the websites people recommended looked lovely, but had to have a reality check.

Just got keys to new place 5 weeks ago, and there's so much to do.
My flowers will have to wait a bit longer.
