LEGO Flowers Review: The Combination of Art and Play

We love the idea of fresh flowers on the kitchen table. But life gets busy, and it’s not always practical. What if there was a way to enjoy flowers that never wilt? No, not silk flowers. Enter the LEGO flower bouquet, a home décor trend that’s gaining serious attention online. Yes, LEGO! The same bricks you played with as a kid are now used to create elegant, lasting floral arrangements. But is this a home décor trend worth following? I decided to try the LEGO flower bouquet—here’s my honest review.

What is the Lego flower?

LEGO has launched a stunning botanical collection for adults. It features an array of flowers, bouquets, and plants. These sets vary in complexity, with peace counts ranging from 500 to over 1,000. I tried the 756-piece LEGO flower bouquet for ages 18 and up. Smaller sets, like LEGO Tulips and Sunflowers, are for ages 8 and up. The bouquet includes 15 plastic stems, featuring blooms like daisies, poppies, and lavender. Each stem is around 14 inches tall, like real flower bouquets. You can arrange them into one large bouquet or create smaller ones.

Step-By-Step Building Process: Is it Easy or Challenging?

Assembling the LEGO flower bouquet was an absolute joy. I like arranging fresh flowers. But, it is not as fun as building this set. Despite not being a LEGO fan as a child, this was my first time working with one. I spent a relaxing afternoon listening to a podcast while making the bouquet. Joy filled the entire experience. It felt refreshing to engage in an activity away from screens. Even when I made a mistake or swapped pieces, it was easy to fix. So, the experience was both relaxing and satisfying.

Since I wasn’t familiar with typical LEGO instructions, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The box had five labeled plastic bags. Each bag matched a step in the instruction booklet. This made it easy to find the right materials. The instructions use simple images instead of words. Some pieces look similar, but the colored diagrams help tell them apart. I found it helpful to organize the pieces in small bowls, rather than dumping everything on the table.

Some Minor Cons of Lego Flowers 

The LEGO flower bouquet is stunning. But, it’s tricky to assemble it perfectly. One wrong move, and you might find parts falling off. (Trust me, I learned the hard way.) Building stems is straightforward, but stem arrangement poses significant difficulties.

A Bit Fragile

Moving the stems caused petals and leaves to fall off, requiring many reassemblies. The LEGO flowers are plastic. They lack the flexibility of real stems. So, it’s a bit awkward to position them in a vase.

Choosing the Right Vase

The bouquet is top-heavy, so it’s prone to tipping if placed in a wide-mouthed vase. For more stability, use a vase with a narrow opening and a weighted base.

Do I Recommend the LEGO Flower Bouquet

My TikTok feed overflows with enthusiasts constructing intricate LEGO floral arrangements. I get the hype. They’re a joy to build and a perfect way to unwind. This bouquet also serves as a stunning home décor that lasts, unlike fresh flowers that wilt. It’s customizable, allowing you to arrange stems in various vases around your home. Its beauty, versatility, and fun build make me recommend the LEGO flower bouquet. It’s a décor trend worth embracing.

Conclusion

The LEGO Flower Bouquet is a beautiful home addition. It is a relaxing activity. The bouquet fits well in a variety of vases, adding charm to any space. It may not be ideal for toy photography, except during themed events like contemner. But, I find it a fun way to share my LEGO hobby. I’m excited about expanding the bouquet with custom MOC flowers. But this requires a specific brick. Kudos to LEGO for continuing to inspire creativity!
