A colorful bouquet is the perfect icing to make any room party ready. While I’m stocking up on fresh flowers to make our snowy weekend feel special, it can be sad to say goodbye when their time is up. I prefer flowers that stay fresh forever! Loving the idea of blooms made to last – especially when I don’t need to change their water. Here are 12 bouquets that will keep bright and festive all winter long.
1. pom poms – camille styles | 2. pajaki chandelier – a beautiful mess | 3. silk flowers – wedding chicks | 4. paper lilies – the elli blog | 5. plaster flowers – a subtle revelry | 6. crepe paper – the bride’s cafe | 7. painted newspaper – instructables | 8. party poppers – a subtle revelry | 9. fabric roses – scout mob | 10. butcher paper – her library adventures | 11. tissue paper garland – a subtle revelry | 12. crepe and watercolor – craftberry bush

I adore paper flowers, I recently made paper peonies as my wedding save the dates. Great inspiration!
Alison, That sounds so pretty! I’d love to see a photo. xoxo
I absolutely love paper flowers! I helped a friend make hundreds of them for her wedding over the summer–origami ones of various kinds. They were such a hit!
Wonderful idea, these flowers that last! Would make such a lovely birthday present.
This is such a great idea! I love paper flowers and that pom poms flowers are soo cute.
My mum’s always looking for a solution to wilting – her attempt to find the longest lasting flowers actually makes me laugh! These ideas are so good – I love the silk flowers and the pom poms, because they don’t actually look too ‘fake flowers’, but rather a decoration in their own terms! Also, the fabric flowers are incredibly innovative! Never would have thought!
