Dried flowers are emerging as a modern and sustainable alternative to fresh flowers, adding an eco-friendly touch to your decorations. Available in a variety of types, such as Phalaris and Statice, they lend themselves to numerous creations, ranging from bouquets to wall decorations. For a trendy look, opt for arrangements in pastel shades and feel free to experiment with different containers to create a unique display.
This is THE decor trend that has been gradually taking hold over the past few seasons: dried flowers. Gone are the old-fashioned bouquets with faded colors from our grandmothers’ days! Dried flowers are making a strong comeback.
More beautiful than artificial flowers, they’re a great eco-friendly and sustainable alternative to fresh flowers because they last much longer!
Dried flowers are now a staple in all our decorations for any festive occasion: weddings, Christmas, baptisms, New Year’s Eve, and birthday parties.
If you have the time (and patience), you can dry a bouquet of flowers yourself. For everyone else, don’t worry: you can buy them ready-made!
From Phalaris to Statice, including everlasting flowers and colorful gypsophila—whether on stems or pressed—we have everything you need in our dried flower collection. Perfect for creating ultra-trendy floral arrangements and decorations!
What can you do with dried flowers? Here are a few ideas to spark your creativity. Nature lovers, add a romantic touch to all your creations!
Dried Flowers as Decor
Dried Flower Bouquets
Dried flowers are an essential element in floral art, and arranging them into a bouquet is the simplest way to use them. But for beautiful, on-trend bouquets, opt for rustic-style flowers in pastel shades, either monochromatic or in a single color family.
Since layering is all the rage—even in decor—arrange your floral compositions in several vases or pots of different sizes and place them on your furniture or directly on the floor.
After all, the container matters. For stemmed flowers, choose tall glass bottles or enameled pitchers. We also love the “Dame Jeanne” style—those large demijohns you can hunt down at flea markets. For small bouquets, repurpose candle holders or a birdcage; use customized tin cans, single-flower vases, antique teapots, baskets, or a small zinc watering can… Get creative!
Other 100% natural creative ideas:
- Display your dried flowers in a frame like a herbarium or a green art piece.
- Arrange them in a potpourri, combining them with foliage, fruits, bark, and seashells.
- Glue a few flowers onto your greeting cards, menus, or invitations.
- Place plants inside clear Christmas ornaments.
- Tie sprigs of flowers with raffia, masking tape, or ribbon to give your gift wrapping a romantic touch.
But there are many other ways to use dried flowers in decor. Let’s shake things up!
Embroidery with Flowers
Swap out your threads and reinvent traditional embroidery by stitching dried flowers onto fabric such as tulle, burlap, or organza held in place by an embroidery hoop (or you can glue them on if you’re not a fan of needlework). Hanging on a wall, this decoration will add an ethereal and delicate touch to your decor. The more skilled among you can even try customizing clothing with these raised embroideries, such as the Peter Pan collar on a dress.
And why not try this wall decoration idea using the punch needle? The “magic needle” technique, which adds a real burst of energy to traditional embroidery, is accessible to beginners. So, give it a try!
A Botanical Wall Hanging
Here’s a simple DIY decoration that’s guaranteed to wow! For a woven piece with a rustic feel, just mix wool and dried flowers. An original hanging decoration for your home that will replace your usual paintings, 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 add small touches to the corner or side of a unique mirror, or arrange them all around a round mirror to create a sun-like effect.
A wall wreath of dried flowers
Another easy-to-make floral arrangement! Glue your dried flowers onto a metal circle or a raw or decorated bamboo hoop, and you’re all set!
Take the dried flower wreaths off your doors and hang them on the walls or on the back of a chair during a festive event—they’ll add a touch of poetry to your decor.
Flowers Under Glass Domes, Curiosity Cabinet Style
This is another way—both modern and elegant—to display a bouquet. Simply arrange your flowers in florist’s foam before enclosing them in their glass dome.
Arrange them on a desk or shelf, or use them as a centerpiece—your dried flowers will bring a bohemian and vintage vibe to your home.
Whether you go for a minimalist look in a small vial or use actual glass domes, we’ll show you how to create your own dried flower arrangement under a glass dome.
