Captivating dried flower arrangements; whether you want that picaresque Instagram backdrop or you want your own hygge corner, these are best to keep at home with low-maintenance, however zero care for dry flowers is a myth. Let us tell you how to take care of your precious dried arrangements.
Our senior stylist says “if you are careful with these arrangements, they can last upto six months”
They are fragile and capable of changing over time, however unlike fresh flowers the process is slow. Here are some tips that will help you take care of your dry flowers better.
For Pampas grass, use a hair spray to prevent the shredding since it’s a delicate one
No water please. None whatsoever, they don’t need it, it can make their stems weak and mouldy. Must keep them warm and dry at all times
It’s best to keep them away from direct sunlight, this makes the fading process slower
Be gentle with them. They’re stunning to look at, but touch you mustn’t. If you have fallouts, you can collect them in a goodie bag for example lavender fallouts can be used as potpourri
They don’t like movement, so it’s better to keep them steady and in a quiet place; tabletops aren’t the best place to keep dried flowers, it has to be a permanent spot so the quaint corner in the room is much suited
Keep away from kids and pets. These are not edible but that’s not the only concern. They can be squashed by their little hands, knocked over by fluffy things, hence keeping them away from their reach is the best option
Good airflow is much needed for dried arrangements. This prevents temperature fluctuations, perhaps not directly from an open window because they might become moist. If they do then you can shift them to another vase, carefully. The airflow from ACs work just as well
If you give them love, they’re sure to love you back for months on end. These arrangements are truly special and they create an aura of warmth around its space. Perfect for gifting loved ones and self-gifting as well. We have new arrivals in the dry flowers range, and more, check out our exciting The September Issue now!
