How to decorate with artificial flowers outside ?
There are several choices in terms of garden decoration to make the outdoor space of your dreams! First, choose flowers for window boxes like colorful artificial perennials: yellow hibiscus, pink geraniums or a mix of green plants and red cannas. If you prefer sober colors, go with plain white hibiscus or geraniums. Once you’ve made your choices, here are some ideas of what you could do with your flowers:
Outdoor hanging planter
Every summer, artificial hanging planters are the number one outdoor decoration to get. There are so many reasons why: easy to add into any outdoor yards, space-saving on a balcony, affordable and available everywhere. Hanging flowers and plants are excellent choices for adding height to your space. They are also available in different sizes, from small to large hanging planters. And yes, even if your balcony has a smaller space, you can enjoy the beauty of nature too !
Best places for hanging planters: terraces, gazebos, galleries, decks and balconies.
Balcony planter for railings and windows
Artificial railing planters or flower boxes are so beautiful to decorate railings, fences and the bottom of windows, use them without moderation ! Hanging flowers in pots are sure to be an eye-catcher. Why not make different by going for pink, red or yellow artificial flowers?

Artificial centerpiece for the terrace
To make an outdoor potted flower arrangement for the table or for a wedding, choose a small outdoor pot first. Our suggestion : opt for concrete pots or plastic planters. You will also find low planters on the market, a new trend to display your plants and flowers. Next, select faux flowers like pink azaleas or hanging bleeding hearts. Finally, finish by slipping in a few stems of artificial plants like fern or eucalyptus.
Best places for a floral centerpiece: dining tables and side tables.
Potted flower arrangement and planter
When it comes to decorate the garden, you can’t pass on tall potted flower arrangements. They work so well everywhere and are easy to move around. Whether it’s hibiscus trees, geraniums or a combination of plants and flowers, they’ll look great in the front of the house as well as on the balcony. The trendiest floor planters are hibiscus flowers mixed with artificial yucca.
Best place for flower boxes : pools, entrances, gazebos, terraces and balconies.
