A Step-by-step guide to arranging your Dried Flowers.

Arranging dried flowers can be a fun and creative way to preserve their beauty and create stunning displays. Here are some steps to help you arrange dried flowers:

1. Choose your dried flowers from our variety of stems: Select a variety of dried flowers in different shapes, sizes, and colours. Consider using flowers with complementary hues or create a monochromatic theme for a cohesive look. You can also add our dried grasses, branches, or other natural elements for texture and interest.

2. Prepare your materials from our selection of vases and containers: Gather the necessary tools and materials, including a clean and dry vase or container, floral foam or a base material (if desired), floral wire or tape, and sharp scissors or pruning shears. Make sure everything is clean and ready for use.

3. Trim the stems (if necessary): Trim the stems of your dried flowers to the desired length. You can create a uniform look or vary the heights for added dimension. Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to ensure clean cuts. Remove any excess leaves or foliage that may interfere with the arrangement.

4. Create a focal point: Start by selecting one or a few statement flowers or branches to serve as the focal point of your arrangement. These can be larger blooms or flowers with unique shapes or colors. Place them in the center or slightly off-center of your container.

5. Build around the focal point: Add smaller dried flowers, grasses, or branches around the focal point, arranging them in a balanced and visually pleasing way. Create layers and depth by varying the heights and angles of the stems. Use floral wire or tape to secure any loose or unruly stems.

6. Fill in the gaps: Fill any gaps or empty spaces with smaller filler flowers, grasses, or foliage. This will help create a fuller and more lush appearance. Consider using materials like baby's breath, statice, or dried ferns for a delicate touch.

7. Play with textures and colors: Experiment with different textures and colors to add visual interest to your arrangement. Mix delicate blooms with our range of feathers, grasses or incorporate dried seed pods or berries for added texture. Consider using a color palette that complements your space or event theme.

8. Step back and assess: Once you are satisfied with the arrangement, step back and assess if any adjustments are needed. Check for balance, symmetry, and overall visual appeal. Make any necessary tweaks to achieve the desired look.

9. Display and care for your arrangement: Find a suitable location to display your dried flower arrangement, taking into consideration factors such as lighting, humidity, and exposure to direct sunlight. Avoid placing them near heating vents or in areas with high humidity, as this can cause the flowers to deteriorate faster.

10. Maintain the arrangement: To keep your dried flower arrangement looking its best, gently dust it with a soft brush or blow dryer on a cool setting to remove any debris or dust that may accumulate over time. Check the flowers periodically for any signs of decay or mold, and replace any deteriorating blooms to maintain the beauty of your arrangement.

Remember, arranging dried flowers is a creative process, and there are no strict rules. Feel free to experiment, trust your instincts, and let your creativity shine through. Enjoy the process and admire the beauty of your unique dried flower arrangement.
