DIY Dried Flower Arrangements

We offer beautiful pre-bundled dried flowers that mix beautifully with fresh-cut flowers. Using dried flowers to decorate your wedding, shower, special event, or home is trending! Here are a few tips on incorporating dried flowers into your floral arrangements.

Dried Flower Tips

If you combine fresh-cut flowers with dried flowers in a floral arrangement, add the dried flowers at the last minute. You do not want to place dried flower stems in water because the water will rehydrate them. It will cause the stems to become limp and lose their rigidity and style.

The exciting news about dried flowers is they are eco-friendly and preserved. We recommend keeping them out of direct sunlight and out of moisture to preserve their beauty and longevity. If dried florals are stored in moist environments such as  a bathroom or kitchen, they can grow mold and last a shorter time.

Be careful when handling dried flowers; they are delicate and easily fall apart. They naturally will shed when you handle them. Crafters spray them with craft spray or hairspray to help the dried flowers last longer. However, be careful while spraying; don’t get too close.

Make a romantic bouquet using fresh-cut and mixing in your favorite dried flowers. Some brides use premade dried flower bouquets for their bridesmaids. You can choose from our premade fantasy-dried bouquets that come in beautiful shades of red, peach, burgundy, cream, or orange.

Tip: When creating a bouquet of dried flowers, start with the largest bloom in the middle. It will give the smaller flowers more visibility. Continue to fill in the gaps between flowers with filler flowers.
