Dried flowers & dried bouquets

Dry flowers back on the scene. Now, in the context of sustainability and style, the trend is starting to find its way back. Get rid of the stuffy image... dried flowers are hip, unique, trendy and above all: stylish. You might remember the dusty bouquets at your mother's or grandmother's house. In the 70s and 80s, dried flower bouquets were also very popular. A global comeback: dried flowers are anything but dull and old-fashioned! You can find dried flower bouquets in various magazines, thousands of living rooms and at almost any florist / home decoration shop.

What are dried flowers?

Briefly, what are dried flowers? Dry flowers are flowers, plants or other organic products that, despite being dried, have the most beautiful colours and shapes. The category of dried flowers includes flowers, herbs, grains, ornamental flowers, but also pine cones, branches and feathers and even Longlife roses(real dried roses from Ecuador). And a dried flower bouquet is a bouquet made up of, you guessed it: dried flowers.

Besides the beautiful colours, compositions and shapes, a dried flower bouquet has a big advantage: dried flowers keep their impressive colours for at least six months (unlike fresh flowers, which are often only beautiful for a week). Not only does this allow you to enjoy your own bunch or bouquet of dried flowers for a long time, it also saves you a lot of money.

Own harvest

Flowerys.eu has its own fields of beautiful flowers that are processed into dried flowers, because we really like to deliver good quality. What is actually the advantage of this own harvest? The lines are a lot shorter. This means that where you normally have suppliers from all over the world, flowers are put on transports and because of the weight and the journey, the dried flowers can break down. We avoid this with our own harvests. This way, we can provide you with even better quality. Wonderful right!

All we have to do is process the top-quality flowers into a beautiful bouquet and send it to our customers. Our flowers are picked in the field and dried on our premises. So we maintain that quality. The nice thing is that when you buy these flowers from us, they can shine in your home for even longer. This appreciation is naturally reflected in our reviews.

Advantages of dried flowers versus fresh flowers

Why are dried flowers so popular? What are the advantages of dried flowers compared to fresh flowers? When you think of dried flowers, you naturally think of beauty and the incredibly long life these bouquets carry with them. Of course, this is already a huge advantage of dried flowers over fresh flowers. After all, you can easily keep dried flowers for at least six months and they look perfect too. In addition, dried flowers do not need water and direct sunlight. These two components are of course incredibly important with fresh flowers. So if you don't put dried flowers in water and direct sunlight, in addition to just blowing off the dust, you can really enjoy your beautiful bouquet for a long time. There are also two other examples that count heavily for dried flowers versus fresh flowers, namely: dried flowers retain their colours many times longer than fresh flowers do. When you have dyed dried flowers, they retain their colours even longer and also last much longer than dried flowers do on their own.

How do I maintain my dried flowers?

Dry flowers are beautiful to look at, last a very long time, have the most beautiful shapes and colours and are mostly completely natural. For that reason, you naturally want to enjoy your dried flowers or dried flower bouquet for as long as possible. Below, we offer a few tips so you can enjoy your own dried flowers (bouquet) for as long as possible.

As little sunlight as possible

As the word describes, dried flowers are dried flowers. These flowers do not need direct sunlight of their own accord. They do not use it to grow or bloom. So when you place your dried flowers make sure they are not placed in direct sunlight. This will prevent discolouration.

Keep the dried flowers dry

It is best to keep your dried flowers dry. This is because the dried flowers no longer need moisture to stay beautiful. The biggest advantages of keeping them dry is that they keep their colours and you prevent mould. It is also very important not to place dried flowers in damp spaces. Think for instance of bathrooms.

Make sure to dust the dried flowers regularly

In every house, dust is inevitable. When you see a layer of dust forming on the leaves of dried flowers, gently and carefully blow the dust off the leaves and flowers. This is a way to keep your dried flowers beautiful even longer. At Flowerys.eu you could also go for a bell as an addition. This keeps the dust away even more easily.

Choose a good spot for your dried flowers

Give your dried flowers a nice and safe spot. For example, you don't want to constantly brush past the flowers with clothes or even bump into them. This goes for the flowers and the vase, of course. A nice and safe place is an extra way to make sure your dried flowers last a long time. All this ensures that you can ultimately enjoy your dried flowers to the fullest.

What can you do with dried flowers?

As described above, dried flowers include hundreds of types of flowers, plants and other organic materials. You can therefore imagine a beautiful composition of dried flower styles for any interior style. In the webshop, you can buy ready-made dried flower bouquets, which you can place directly in a vase or pot.

Dry flowers have a long shelf life: make sure you don't put the bouquet away too lightly and/or too cold and you can enjoy your own dried bouquet for at least six months, while doing absolutely nothing.

Besides ordering ready-made bouquets and/or bunches from us and placing them in the most stylish vases(see product range), you can also put together your own dried flower bouquet or bunch at Flowerys.eu.

Silk flower bouquets

A nice (new) alternative to dried flower bouquets are of course the chic, stylish and unique silk flower bouquets. Silk flowers are flowers that, originally, are made silk. But in recent years, our artificial flowers are no longer made of real silk, but of polyester. This brings many advantages. For instance, our artificial flower bouquets are a lot stronger, they do not discolour and the flowers look very detailed. They are truly beautiful works of art that last for years. Because they last so long and because so many different combinations are possible (you can easily take the bouquet apart and add new flowers), 'silk flower bouquets' are hugely popular. And no wonder... Take a look at our silk bouquets category and easily choose your favourite artificial bouquet!
