Bring Home the Beauty: Real-Touch Florals from The Mint Julep

At The Mint Julep, we believe your home should feel as warm and welcoming as a Southern spring day—every day. That's why we specialize in real-touch florals that look and feel like you just gathered from the garden. Whether you're setting a stunning tablescape, refreshing your entryway, or adding a statement piece to your coffee table, our florals offer timeless beauty with none of the upkeep.

What Are Real-Touch Florals?

Unlike traditional faux flowers that can look stiff or shiny, real-touch florals are made from high-quality polymers and fabrics that mimic the look of fresh blooms, which are soft and velvety. They're so convincing that you might find yourself reaching for a watering can.

Why Choose Real-Touch Over Other Faux Florals?

Let's be honest—some faux florals are better left in the past. Here's what makes real-touch arrangements from The Mint Julep stand out:

  • Incredible realism – They look and feel real, not plastic.
  • No maintenance – No water, no sunlight, no problem.
  • Allergy-friendly – Enjoy florals year-round without the sniffles.
  • Long-lasting beauty – They stay fresh-looking for years, not days.

The Real-Touch Difference

You may notice that real-touch florals are priced slightly higher than traditional faux blooms—and there's a good reason. Premium materials ensure each petal and stem is crafted to look and feel like the real thing. Handcrafted designs give every arrangement a custom, high-end feel that stands apart from mass-produced options. They offer long-term savings by eliminating the need to replace wilting bouquets or refresh seasonal décor. The custom arrangements at Mint Julep range from $45 to $500, depending on size, vessel, and complexity. Our team is here to help you brighten your space or discover the perfect floral piece that suits your style and budget.

Elevate Your Everyday

We love finding beauty in the unexpected at The Mint Julep. Our real-touch florals look stunning in statement pieces like the hammered gold bowl pictured above to repurposed heirloom vessels. You can instantly bring more color, personality, and texture into your space by choosing unique containers—like vintage ceramics or textured glass. These thoughtful design touches work beautifully across various styles, from cozy cottage to organic-modern or luxe. With real-touch florals, everyday moments can feel elevated. Here are a few creative styling tips to elevate your floral vessels:

  1. Mix in Meaningful Pieces – Turn heirloom pitchers, vintage glassware, or flea market finds into vessels with personality and charm.
  2. Add Texture with Layers – Set arrangements on a stack of books, a wooden tray, or a fabric runner to add depth and interest.
  3. Try the Unexpected – Think outside the vase—use kitchen canisters, oversized mugs, or even antique candle holders as floral bases.
  4. Create Contrast – Pair delicate florals with bold containers like matte ceramic, aged brass, or textured stone for eye-catching impact.
  5. Bring in Nature – Add moss, preserved branches, or dried grasses for a layered, organic look that complements your florals.
