Yes, you can take fake flowers (artificial/silk) on a plane in carry-on or checked bags, as they're generally fine with security, but pack them carefully in a sturdy box or carry-on to prevent crushing and be aware that the internal wire might require extra screening, especially with TSA, and always declare them for international travel where customs rules vary.
Traveling with flowers on a plane can be a bit more challenging, but with faux flowers, it's a breeze! Here's how to do it: Carry-on bag: Place your floral arrangements in a carry-on bag. Remember to include the added weight of the flowers when calculating the overall bag size.
Put the flowers inside the boxes. Make sure that you do not put too many flowers in one box. Fill in the space between the flowers and the sides of the box with bubble wrap. Pad the bottom of the boxes with towels and sheets so that the flowers are not affected by the jerks and vibrations during the move.
The balance between three focal flowers, five stems of greenery, and eight filler flowers allows for an aesthetically pleasing design that draws the eye. Applying this rule ensures harmony in your bouquets while showcasing creativity.

Your flowers must pass through X-ray screening like all other carry on items, and security personnel may request additional inspection if they identify any concerns during the screening process.
The TSA generally allows you to bring fresh flowers on a plane in both your carry-on and checked luggage. Your bouquet must be transported without water, but you can wrap stems in damp paper towels to keep them hydrated. Always review specific airline policies, as rules for size and packing can vary between carriers.
Are you allowed to bring flowers through airport security?
Fresh flowers are allowed through the checkpoint without water. The final decision rests with the TSA officer on whether an item is allowed through the checkpoint.
Durable flowers like roses, orchids, and carnations are better suited for travel as they are more resistant to temperature changes and handling stress. Fragile blooms like tulips or daisies may not fare as well.
Checked luggage: Flowers are typically permitted in checked bags, but usually without water, due to liquid restrictions. Water tubes and floral foam: Security checkpoints may reject water-filled tubes, so wrapping flower stems in damp tissue is a safer choice.

Now, of course, pennies are copper in color, but prior to 1982, they were actually made from copper—95% copper and 5% zinc, to be exact. Copper has properties that kill off the bacteria and fungi in the water, which (technically) could allow a floral arrangement to thrive.
