Brown Collection

Botanical browns range from the light tones of pampas grass to the deep brown of a dried pine branch. This selection brings together artificial stems, foliage and bouquets in this warm palette, offered in several lengths so they can be combined with one another.

Length Before Color

A stem is judged first by its length: the foliage in this selection ranges from sixty-six centimeters to nearly one meter forty. A short spray of foliage fills a table vase, a tall piece goes on the floor. A trailing amaranth belongs up high, on a shelf, so its cascade stays visible.

Structuring With Three or Five Stems

An artificial bouquet finds its balance through the number of stems as much as through color. Start with three or five structural stems, then fill in with lighter foliage that closes the gaps. The pampas bouquets come in seven and twelve stems, enough to fill a large vase on their own.

Dusting Without Damage

Artificial greenery needs no water, but it does gather dust. A feather duster or a soft brush is enough for foliage, and pampas grass is best shaken outdoors rather than brushed. Also avoid full sun behind a window, which eventually lightens the brown tones.

Frequently Asked Questions

What stem length for a twenty-five-centimeter vase?

Aim for an overall height of one and a half times that of the vase, meaning stems of fifty to seventy centimeters. Longer lengths suit floor vases and wide openings.

Can brown and green be mixed in the same vase?

Yes, and that is precisely what creates depth. Keep brown as the dominant color and green as an accent, on just one or two stems.

How do you keep stems upright in a wide vase?

Cross the first stems at the neck to create support, then slip the next ones into the open spaces. A vase with a narrow neck spares you this step.
