Why Trade Professionals Choose Faux Flowers

In today’s floral industry, artificial flowers are no longer a compromise—they’re a commercial advantage. Whether you're styling a wedding, installing venue décor, or creating displays for retail, faux flowers offer durability, realism, and versatility that fresh blooms can’t match. At Koch & Co., we have our premium in-house collection of artificial flowers and greenery, developed specifically for trade customers who demand consistent quality and impactful design outcomes.

Why  Is the Go-To Choice for Trade Buyers

1. Hyper-Realistic Detailing

From lifelike veining to Real Touch finishes and hand-painted petals, it is crafted to look as authentic as fresh florals—even up close. This realism is essential for event photos, showroom displays, and high-end retail environments.

2. Commercial-Grade Durability

Unlike fresh flowers, stems won’t wilt, bruise, or require refrigeration. This is a game-changer for:

• Hot-climate weddings and outdoor events

• Long-term installations

• Freight-sensitive deliveries

With strong wired stems and fade-resistant materials, it is built to last through bump-ins, pack-downs, and repurposing.

3. Time & Budget Efficiency

Faux flowers allow for early prep and set-up flexibility, which is crucial for large-scale events. Enables stylists and florists to pre-arrange weeks in advance without compromising quality. Over time, faux florals can also reduce labour and reordering costs, especially for recurring installations and venue contracts.

Use Cases That Make Sense for Trade:

• Wedding arbors, centerpieces, and bouquets

• Corporate foyer and reception styling

• In-store floral displays for visual merchandising

• Venue and hospitality décor

• Long-distance hampers or gifts

Bonus: Mix Fresh and Faux for Maximum Impact

Many trade customers now mix with fresh florals to:

• Stretch budgets

• Pre-prepare installations

• Enhance structure and volume in large displays

Blending fresh and faux also allows for greater colour consistency and availability across seasons.
