How to use the dried flowers? Creative ideas to make yourself

It's THE decorating trend that's been taking hold for several seasons now: dried flowers. Gone are the old-fashioned bouquets in faded colors of our grandmothers! Dried flowers are back with a vengeance.
More attractive than artificial flowers, they are a good eco-responsible and sustainable alternative to fresh flowers, as they have the advantage of keeping much longer!
Dried flowers can now be found in all our decorations for all festive occasions: weddings, Christmases, christenings, New Year's Eve and birthday parties.
If you have the time (and the patience), you can dry a bouquet of flowers yourself. For others, don't worry: you can buy them ready-made!
From Phalaris to Statice, immortelle to colored gypsophila, on stem or pressed, we've got everything you need in our dried flower collection. We've got everything you need for trendy floral arrangements and decorations!

What can you do with dried flowers? Here are a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing. Give all your creations a romantic air!

Dried flowers for decoration

Dried flower bouquets

Dried flowers are one of the essential elements in floral art, and making a bouquet is the simplest way to use them. But for beautiful, contemporary bouquets, we prefer country-style flowers in pastel tones, in monochrome or monochrome shades.
As the trend is towards accumulation, even in decorating, arrange your floral arrangements in several vases or pots of different sizes and place them on your furniture or on the floor.
Because it's the container that counts. For stemmed flowers, choose large glass bottles or enamelled pitchers. We also like the dame Jeanne version, a large bottle to be found at flea markets. For small bouquets, use candle holders, birdcages, custom tin cans, soliflores, antique teapots, baskets, a small zinc watering can... Be imaginative!

Other 100% natural creative ideas:

• Display your dried flowers in a herbarium-style frame or planted picture.
• Arrange them in a potpourri, combining them with foliage, fruit, bark and shells.
• Glue a few flowers to your greeting cards, menus or announcements.
• Insert plants inside transparent baubles.
• Slip sprigs of flowers into raffia, masking tape or ribbon to give your gift wrapping a romantic air.

But there are many other ways to use dried flowers in decoration. Let's shake things up!

Embroidery with flowers

Trade in your threads and reinvent traditional embroidery by embroidering dried flowers on fabric such as tulle, burlap or organza held together by an embroidery drum (or you can glue them on if you're not a fan of needlework). Hanging from a wall, this decoration will give an airy, delicate touch to your decorations. The more adept will even try their hand at customizing garments with embossed embroidery, like the claudine collar of a dress.

And why not try this wall decorating idea using the punch needle? The magic needle technique, which gives a real boost to traditional embroidery, is accessible to beginners. So get started!

Vegetable wall weaving

Here's a DIY decoration that's easy to make, with a guaranteed wow factor! All you have to do is mix wool and dried flowers to create a weave with a bucolic accent. An original hanging for your home that will replace your usual pictures, frames and posters.

A hanging mirror

Go for a pretty personalized mirror, by gluing on your favorite dried flowers. There are two ways to do this: either in small touches in the corner or on the side of an original mirror, or all around a round mirror to create a sunny impression.

A wall wreath of dried flowers

Another easy-to-make floral arrangement! Glue your plants to a metal circle or a raw or decorated bamboo hoop, and you're done!
Unhook dried flower wreaths from your doors and hang them on the wall or on the back of a chair at a festive event, to add a touch of poetry to your decor.

Flowers under cloches, like a cabinet of curiosities

This is another modern and elegant way of presenting a bouquet. Simply prick your plants onto florist's foam, then enclose them in their own bubble.
Arranged on a desk or shelf, or as a table centerpiece, your dried flowers will bring a bohemian, vintage spirit to your home.
Whether in a minimalist version in a small vial or in real cloches, we'll show you how to make your own arrangement of dried flowers under cloche.
