Dried Flower Care

It is still winter so I thought I would take the opportunity to talk about dried flowers one last time before the spring flowers are in full swing. Lots of you received or bought my valentines bouquets and wreaths a few weeks ago. Want to know how to keep them bright and cherry? Read on!

  Best Dried Flower Care:
-No water
-Keep them inside
-Away from direct sunlight
-Avoid an area where they would get touched or moved 

• People always ask "How long do they last?" Well the answer isn't quite that simple. I think its preference and I usually answer with at least one year. That way each fall/winter you buy a fresh bouquet. But it's entirely up to you! I've had dried flower wreaths in my own house for multiple years, I think I have one that is at year 6 right now? The flowers naturally fade overtime, so the more sunlight they are exposed to, the quicker they'll fade. If you think they're still pretty after a year, keep them till you no longer get joy out of them! And remember they are fragile, if you touch them they'll likely shed a little. I don't recommend wreaths on a door, as pretty as they would be, every time you close that door, flower confetti will fall. But wreaths inside on a wall, they're a one of a kind piece of art!

And remember they're dried, they need no water, ever. I gifted my grandma, who is in a nursing home some dried flowers for Valentine's Day. Last week when I visited, those flowers were in a vase of water. That hurt my sole. Disgusting water surrounding my beautiful dried flowers ughhhh.

Some don't want dried flowers up year round. I mean nothing beats in season fresh flowers. But don't throw the dried flowers away! Store them in a box where they'll be dry, no light and nothing to squish them. Dried flowers are very fragile! Pull them out next fall and they should look exactly the same!

We grow, harvest and dry all the flowers I use!

Have any questions or special order requests? Email me! I have a few weddings next year that I am SO excited about. These requests take more planning because I have to hoard certain colors and varieties!!
