Dried flowers are making a come back, and they are the perfect way to send flowers more sustainably. Dried flowers are a great alternative to gifting fresh blooms as they last a lot longer and look just as beautiful.
However, if you do receive a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers, you can recycle them in a way that makes them last longer. Drying your own flowers is a great way to make the most of your bouquets, plus it makes them a bit more sustainable. To dry your flowers, hang the flowers upside down by their stems and store them in a dry, dark space. Leave them for a couple of weeks and they should be dried out. If you don't want to wait so long, you could also create a potpourri bowl or jar instead. Simply dry the flower waste for a couple of days, then mix it with some of your favourite spices.
There are so many dried flower bouquet options available on the market, so we've selected a few of our favourites to help you pick the perfect bunch.
