Dried flowers, leaves and grasses are all the rage in decor, and that’s not surprising: these are beautiful decorations that are everlasting at the same time. You can see dried flowers at various events you attend and of course you can make some for your home. Dried flower wreaths and arrangements scream fall as this is the season of decadence, when flowers wither and dry, and this is what we gonna use for styling our spaces in a trendy way. Why using them and not real or silk blooms? Here are some pros.
Dried Flower Advantages
Dried blooms look no less worse than fresh ones but are everlasting, they won’t wither. The only thing you can do to them is break stems, and if not, they will last long. Dried flowers can be styled anywhere, from a skull to a pumpkin, they don’t require water or traditional vases, it’s just pretty decor. Dried blooms are textural and you can also spruce them with color using spray paint, which makes dried pieces more versatile than usual ones. You can pair them up with fresh and preserved pieces, with faux ones, and the look will be more personalized. Dried flowers are very eco-friendly as they are all-natural. Have we convinced you? If yes, then here’s
What Flowers To Dry?
Basically, you can dry anything, from tulips to callas, and from bunny tails to fern but still if you choose flowers that are good for drying, your arrangement will last longer. Prefer sturdy blossoms like hydrangeas or baby’s breath, flowers with multiple layers like zinnias or mums, small flowers like pansies or daisies, larger blooms like dahlias or peonies.
How To Dry Flowers?
The easiest idea is to hang them upside down in a dark, dry, well-ventilated area. Keeping the flowers out of direct sunlight will help them retain their color. You can also dry your flowers in a microwave with a cup of water or use dessicant to dry them. Baking flowers at 200 degrees Fahrenheit is the last but not least idea we can offer. If you’ve chosen one of these methods, find out more details about it on the web to dry your flowers perfect.
How To Care For Your Dried Flowers?
Keep them out of direct sunlight, which can cause a dull and discolored look, and humidity that can completely destroy your bouquet. Keep your blooms in a dry and cool space, avoid bathrooms. Dust your dried pieces with a soft-bristled brush or a feather duster. If you have pampas grass, you can fluff it well and then fix with a hair spray.
Dried Flower Arrangements
Make a beautiful fall-inspired arrangement of blooms, leaves and grasses. This arrangement will become your centerpiece, mantel, coffee table or windowsill decoration. Stick to a single color scheme like orange and neutrals, burgundy and pink and others and spray paint your blooms and leaves accordingly. You may add corn, pumpkins and stuff like that, too. If you add black touches of various kinds or attach a faux bat, your arrangement will instantly become Halloween-appropriate, too.
