You've bought dried flowers and you want to display them as soon as possible, making your interior shine. But where do I put my dried flowers? Can they just stand anywhere? Read all about it in our informative blog.
A dried flower bouquet has been an incredibly big trend for several years now, dried flower bouquets are known to bring atmosphere and experience to any interior. Thanks to their durability, a dried flowerbouquet is a godsend for today's interiors. In fact, dried flowers last an incredibly long time, in most cases at least six months and in practice much longer. Of course, you want your dried flowers to last that long, and the question often comes up whether dried flowers can stand in the sun? The simple but direct answer is no, yet there is some explanation behind this answer. Dry flowers do not use moisture, so dry flowers shrivel and discolour faster. Nevertheless, we at Flowerys.eu would like to give you tips and information that will help you keep your dried flowers in top condition.
The effect of sunlight on dried flowers
Dry flowers, as the name suggests, are flowers that have lost all their moisture and therefore have a much longer life compared to fresh flowers. This process makes dried flowers significantly more durable, and while this obviously sounds perfect, it also makes them more vulnerable to other factors, such as sunlight, for example.
So what can sunlight actually do? Sunlight can have an incredibly big effect on the colour and texture of dried flowers. When you put your dried flowers in full sunlight, you will see that the dried flowers quickly lose their colour and become brittle even faster. This is again due to the fact that UV rays break down and affect cell structure of the petals, in addition to colour pigments.
The best places for your dried flower bouquet
Of course, we want you to enjoy your dried flowers as long as possible, so we'd like to give you a few tips to keep your dried flower bouquet in top condition:
- Keep your dried flowers away from direct sunlight: Don't put your dried flowers in a sunlit spot and thus also not in direct sunlight. Of course, this is not to say that dried flowers should not be in a lighted room, but avoid placing them in front of the window where a lot of direct sunlight can pass through on a daily basis.
- Using indirect light: When you use indirect and, more importantly, natural light, you give your dried flowers the perfect opportunity to shine in your home. With indirect light, you highlight the colours of the dried flowers without the damaging effects you would get with sunlight.
- Make a consideration for artificial light: If you want to place your dried flowers in a space where not much to no natural light can enter, you can choose to use artificial light. Just make sure that the artificial light is not too bright or too hot, as this again can damage your dried flowers.
