Best Silk Flowers That Sell Year-Round
Discover the best silk flowers for year-round designs. These versatile blooms and color palettes will help you save money on supplies while also increasing your sales – a win-win!
Year-round faux floral designs
One of my top wreath tips for beginners is to create year-round designs.
Often, wreath makers design for the changing seasons, but year-round designs could be the missing link to improving your sales!
Faux floral design isn’t just about the holidays or chasing the latest trend. When you craft with versatile flowers that fit any season or occasion, thoughtful buyers will take notice.
Plus, designing this way will help you save money! Instead of purchasing small quantities for specific designs, you can purchase the best silk flowers in bulk; it’s cheaper and more efficient.
In today’s post, I’ll be sharing the top faux flowers for wreaths that sell all year long. These flowers are perfect for wreaths, swags, table arrangements, and any other creations you dream up.

The best faux flowers for year-round designs
Top silk flowers for year-round crafting must be versatile in both color and variety. Here are a couple of tips for choosing the best kinds!
Best Silk Flowers: Year-round color options
When creating year-round wreath designs, I focus primarily on neutral color palettes. It’s easy to combine various neutral shades for a textured, visually interesting arrangement.
Pick florals in neutral shades, including creams, whites, browns, greens, and gentle metallics like champagne.
You can also incorporate subtle pops of color, avoiding combinations that are overly seasonal or holiday-inspired (reds and greens are a no-go!).
Not sure where to start with your color palette? Try any of these year-round combinations:
- Neutral – Cream, gray, taupe, sage green, warm white
- Calm – Misty blue, seafoam green, tan, cream, pale coral
- Moody – Charcoal, forest green, rust, ivory, ochre
- Green – Bone white, moss, eucalyptus, forest green, champagne
- Warm – Terracotta, cream, blush, mustard, green
Best silk flowers: Year-round flower types
Choosing the right color palette will give you the creative freedom you crave! Many flower types can work in a year-round design, provided you choose the right color.
My favorite silk flowers for everyday wreaths include:
- Roses (cabbage, garden, sweetheart, etc).
- Hydrangea
- White echinacea
- Blue bonnet
- Dahlias
- Ranunculus
- Lisianthus
- Anemone
- Scabiosa
- Allium
- Delphinium
Each of these silk flowers is universally beautiful, especially when combined. Pay attention to the shape of these florals when designing, adding beauty through mass, line, and texture.
Silk flowers to avoid in year-round designs
It’s best to avoid any faux flowers that are too indicative of a season or holiday. Here are some specific blooms to watch out for:
- Tulips
- Cherry blossoms
- Baby’s breath
- Poinsettias
- Sunflowers
- Chrysanthemums
- Lilacs
- Hyacinths
