Fall Stem Collection: Standouts from 2025

Even though sweater weather is still months away here and fall foliage is nowhere to be found, that is not going to stop me from dreaming about my favorite season. Each year, I track down the best faux stems and round up my favorites on the blog. From oversized branches and stems to delicate florals, there is something here for every room and mood.

This year's list includes best-selling favorites from years past, plus many new finds you have not seen before. I have also added a roundup of versatile vases in every size. Keep in mind these stems can sell out quickly and are often discontinued for the next year, so do not wait if you find something you love!

Let us start with a handful of my personal favorites, and how I styled them in our home. First up—these oversized branches bring the fall drama without breaking the bank at under $7/ea:

These $5 orange sedum stems are a new Target release this season, and have quickly become a favorite:

Small, delicate florals are trending right now, and often have a more realistic appearance than larger stems and flowers. It helps to keep these burgundy baby's breath in a smaller vase for bathroom counters and bedroom nightstands.

The coloring of these Nandia stems is striking, and their large size makes them ideal for making a statement on spaces like a dining table, kitchen island or entryway.

These huge 48″ grape ivy branches were a must-have from last year, and one of the most lifelike I have seen. I styled four in this terracotta floor vase.

I am sure you've seen these viral plum cimicifuga stems from Afloral—years later and they are still hard to beat (& they are currently on sale!). I used six in the vase below, but 2-3 also look great for a more minimalist arrangement.

Magnolia leaves are a seasonal classic that never go out of style. I have had these stems for years and love pulling them out around Thanksgiving—they look and feel real!
