Why We Choose Faux Over Fresh (And What Makes Ours Different)

By 3LittlePicks

There’s something about flowers that instantly lifts a space. They soften sharp corners, bring warmth into the room, and quietly say, “someone lives here — and they care.”

But fresh blooms, as lovely as they are, come with an expiry date. They wilt fast, need water and trimming, and if you’re sensitive to pollen or scents — they’re not always the kindest option. That’s why at 3LittlePicks, we’ve fallen head over heels for faux flowers — and we’re proud to say, not just any kind.

Here’s why we choose faux over fresh, and what makes ours a little bit different.

1. Not All Faux Flowers Are Created Equal — and We Mean It

We know what you're thinking — fake flowers? Aren’t they plastic-y and too bright to be believable?

Honestly? A lot of them still are. But not at 3LittlePicks.

Our founder is an avid fresh flower lover with incredibly high expectations when it comes to how faux flowers should look and feel. That deep love for real blooms is what sets the bar so high for every single stem we curate.

Our arrangements are made with hyper-realistic materials, soft-touch petals, and thoughtful palettes. From delicate ranunculus to full-headed peonies, each bloom is chosen and styled to mimic nature in its most graceful state. Often, our customers have to touch them to believe they’re not real.

We avoid overly saturated tones and shiny finishes. Instead, we focus on texture, tone, and form — because a good faux flower shouldn’t just look real... it should feel like it belongs in the moment.

2. They’re Always in Season (And Zero Maintenance)

No wilting. No water. No mess. Whether it’s a humid afternoon or you’re away for weeks, your blooms stay perfectly styled. That means your space always looks ready — no effort required.

If you love having flowers around but don’t have the time (or patience) for upkeep, faux flowers are honestly a game changer.

3. They’re an Investment in Everyday Beauty

We believe that home styling isn’t just for holidays or special guests — it’s something you do for yourself. And just like a good candle or a soft blanket, flowers can set the tone for how you feel in a space.

With our faux arrangements, you're not just buying flowers. You’re investing in an atmosphere — one that lasts season after season. Many of our customers even move the same arrangement from room to room depending on their mood.

4. They’re Designed With Heart — and Styled to Belong

Every arrangement at 3LittlePicks is thoughtfully styled by hand. We don’t just pick random stems and put them together. Each design is curated with a vibe in mind — from earthy and warm to soft and romantic.

And because our customers have such beautiful, varied tastes, we offer everything from minimalist bunches to statement centerpieces. Need help picking one? Just drop us a DM — we’re always happy to guide.
