1. First of all, the quality of the flowers dramatically reflects on the price. If you want something that feels and appears so real, then you should know that the price will be a bit higher and different from others.
2. Mix them with natural fresh flowers. Yes, you heard that right. Consider this an "industry secret", this little trick will scheme all of your house guests - even the experienced florists into believing your floral collection is the real deal. To achieve this, you can combine fresh and fake flowers in the same vase. Another great idea is paring fake flowers in one vase, and fresh flowers in another, but using the same vignette for them.
3. Use odd numbers using odd numbers. Make use of odd numbers of stems in order to make the floral arrangement more interesting and full of character. Using odd numbers like 3, 5, 7, and 9, among others, also helps you achieve a defining height and scale.
4. Make use of fake stems that have parts that can be twisted or bent. With this, it would be easy to modify the blooms and stems into your desired position. ensure that you bend your stems at different lengths. Doing so will ensure that all your stems don’t end up having the same height in your vase. As you make some areas higher than others, your flowers appear full and properly scaled. This will make it very attractive and also create a great impression. Word of caution, make sure the stems are made from high grade materials! This is because cheaper branches can easily break - and it's VERY hard to decorate with broken stems.
   
5. For bouquets, make sure you start with an inspiration flower, use other flowers and greenery you love as complementary to that inspiration flower, and build around it until you get an awesome design. Even though it's a good idea to not deviate from a particular design, sometimes it can be very rewarding to let your creativity flow in abstract ways, such as mixing a variety of flowers with two or more design styles.
