Burgundy Brown Magnolia Blossom Spray - 40 Inch

The Story

Not every flowering branch is meant to fill a vase. Some are meant to create the shape that everything else follows.

This magnolia blossom spray has an open, airy silhouette with scattered blossoms that feel naturally spaced along the branches rather than tightly clustered together. The soft burgundy-brown flowers introduce subtle color while the branching structure creates height and dimension, making arrangements feel lighter and more organic.

It's the kind of stem that works beautifully when an arrangement needs another layer without becoming fuller. Styled on its own, it has a quiet sculptural quality. Mixed with seasonal florals and greenery, it creates natural movement between larger blooms and helps the arrangement feel more relaxed, collected, and balanced.

Design Function

Designed to function as both a filler stem and a texture stem, adding architectural branching, soft floral detail, and natural layering while helping larger arrangements feel lighter and more dimensional.

The Faux Floral Standard

This stem was selected for its graceful branching structure and understated floral detail. Rather than creating a dense floral display, it introduces natural spacing, height, and texture that help larger arrangements feel more balanced.

The flexible wired branches can be gently shaped to create a more open silhouette or tucked slightly inward depending on the arrangement. The result is a stem that feels collected from nature rather than perfectly manufactured.

How to Style It

Stem Count: One stem creates a beautiful architectural statement. Use three to five stems when creating taller arrangements with layered branching.

Vase Recommendation: Beautiful in everyday, narrow-neck, standard-opening, wide-mouth, and statement vases with enough height to showcase the natural branching.

Arrangement Role: Use to introduce height, soften the outline of an arrangement, and add natural floral texture between larger blooms.

Pairing Approach: Pair this branch with fuller flowers and softer foliage so its open shape remains visible. It works especially well when a few blossoms extend beyond the main arrangement, creating height and breathing room without making the vase feel sparse.

Placement Idea: Style on an entry console, dining table, fireplace mantel, or in a tall floor vase where the branching silhouette has room to naturally spread.

Quick Styling Formula: Three magnolia blossom sprays + two cream ranunculus stems + one bundle of tan pompoms creates an arrangement with beautiful height, softness, and seasonal texture.

Where It Works Best

• Tall statement vase arrangements
• Entry console styling
• Dining room centerpieces
• Fireplace mantel displays
• Layered seasonal floral arrangements

Mel's Styling Take

I like to open the branches just enough that every blossom has its own space instead of sitting in one cluster. It keeps the stem looking light and natural, and it lets the beautiful branching become part of the arrangement instead of hiding behind the flowers.

Pairs Well With

• Cream True Bloom Ranunculus Bundle
• Brown & Orange Eucalyptus Spray
• Orange Faux Dried Chinese Lantern Stem
• Tan Pompom Pick Bundle
• Burgundy Real Touch Bellflower Stem

Good to Know

• Sold as one individual stem.
• Wired branches are easy to shape.
• Adds architectural height without visual heaviness.
• Beautiful as a stand-alone branch or layered into larger arrangements.
• Designed for indoor decorative use.
• A versatile stem for late summer through holiday decorating.

Climate & Care Considerations

This stem performs beautifully in most indoor environments, including humid regions and drier climates.

Because this stem is made with traditional faux materials, we recommend avoiding prolonged direct sunlight, excessive heat exposure, outdoor use, and direct moisture. This helps preserve the rich burgundy-brown color, delicate blossom detail, and overall appearance of the stem.

For customers in humid climates, including many areas along the East Coast, North Coast, South Coast, Southeast, and Gulf Coast regions, this stem is suitable for indoor decorative use under normal home conditions. Keep it away from damp windowsills, bathrooms with heavy steam, or areas where condensation collects.

Store the stem loosely in a dry location where the branches and blossoms are not compressed beneath heavier décor or floral bundles. Occasional light dusting with a soft, dry cloth will help preserve the natural branching and realistic finish season after season.

Product Insight

Burgundy brown faux magnolia blossom sprays are commonly used to add architectural height, branching texture, and seasonal floral detail to late summer, fall, winter, and holiday arrangements.

Care & Maintenance

You chose stems that last. Here’s how to make sure they do.

Faux florals are low maintenance, but not no maintenance. A little intentional care goes a long way toward keeping your stems looking the way they did the day they arrived.

Think of this page as your go-to resource. Bookmark it, come back to it, and use it whenever your arrangements need a refresh.

Every stem is chosen with intention — so it works in your home, not just in a vase.

First Things First: Know Your Stems

Not all faux florals are cared for the same way. True Bloom Floral carries three tiers, each with slightly different needs.

True Bloom stems
Our highest tier. Premium real touch stems with detailed surface coatings. Handle gently and keep completely dry.

Real Touch stems
Soft, natural-feeling stems. Clean gently using dry methods or a lightly damp cloth for spot cleaning.

Standard faux stems (including filler)
More forgiving. Can be cleaned with a damp cloth or mild soap solution when needed.

When in doubt, less is more. Gentle care works for every tier.

Everyday Care: The Four Habits That Matter

1. Dust regularly
Dust dulls color and texture over time. A quick dust every 1–2 weeks keeps stems looking fresh.

2. Keep out of direct sunlight
Bright rooms are fine, but prolonged direct sun will fade colors over time, especially deeper tones.

3. Avoid heat and humidity
Keep stems away from fireplaces, radiators, kitchens, and bathrooms. Heat and moisture can damage materials.

4. Reshape as needed
Real touch stems are flexible. Gently reshape petals or bend wired stems to create natural movement.

Cleaning Your Stems

True Bloom & Real Touch Stems

These require the most careful approach.

What works:

• Soft brush (makeup brush, paintbrush, microfiber cloth)
• Hair dryer on cool, low setting (held at least 12 inches away)
• Gentle shake outdoors
• Lightly damp cloth (Real Touch only, for spot cleaning)

What to avoid:

• Submerging in water
• Harsh cleaners or sprays
• Heat or warm air

Standard Faux & Filler Stems

More flexible and easier to clean.

What works:

• All dry cleaning methods above
• Damp cloth or gentle wipe
• Mild soap solution with cool water
• Salt or cornstarch method (shake in a bag to remove dust)

What to avoid:

• Soaking stems
• Aggressive scrubbing

Reflexing Your Stems

Reflexing is a professional floral technique that opens petals outward to create a fuller, more natural look.

Why reflex?

Stems are packed tightly for shipping. Reflexing opens them up, adds dimension, and transforms the overall look.

Best stems for reflexing:

• Roses
• Peonies
• Tulips
• Gladiolus

How to reflex:

• Work slowly with your fingertips
• Gently bend outer petals backward
• Warm petals slightly between your hands if needed
• Never force anything

A reflexed stem instantly looks more elevated and intentional.

Highly Pigmented Stems

Deep tones like reds, burgundies, and jewel shades may transfer color if pressed against light surfaces for extended periods.

This is normal for richly pigmented materials.

To prevent issues:

• Avoid prolonged contact with light fabrics or surfaces
• Wipe surfaces promptly if transfer occurs
• Give stems space when arranging

Storing Your Stems

How you store your stems matters just as much as how you display them.

• Store upright when possible
• Wrap loosely in tissue paper
• Use a supportive storage box
• Keep in a cool, dry, dark space
• Avoid overpacking

Giving stems space helps preserve their shape and structure.

A Note on Vases

Faux florals don’t create water stains or bacteria, but vase care still matters.

• Dust interiors regularly
• Wipe glass vases to remove smudges
• Use filler (stones or foam) to stabilize arrangements
• If adding water for aesthetics, keep real touch stems above the waterline

How Long Will My Stems Last?

With proper care, True Bloom and Real Touch stems typically last five years or more.

The three biggest factors that shorten their lifespan:

• Direct sunlight
• Dust buildup
• Poor storage

Avoid those, and your arrangements will stay beautiful for years.
