Choose a vase

When you choose a vase or another container for your homemade interior decoration, the choice of dried flowers is to be taken into account. High leaves or heavy flowers need a heavier container. In addition to traditional vases, we like to place decorative floral compositions in braided baskets to add a natural texture. To keep the bouquets of dried flowers in place, garnish the basket with different materials.

Create a base with greenery

The best way to arrange dried flowers is to start with greenery as a base. Eucalyptus, ivy and the fronds of ferns are good choices of greenery. Use the greenery rods to create an inverted triangular shape. Thus, your composition will have a horizontal and vertical presence. Also make sure to cut the stems before putting them in the vase.

Add flowers that capture the eye

The main flowers are generally the largest or those with an unusual color or texture. Be sure to add it in odd numbers to obtain a more natural (non -symmetrical) appearance. Do not place the main flowers so that they exceed on the sides: they will look heavy and falling, instead of being strong and lively.

Add fill flowers

Add smaller dried flowers and texture elements to the composition to fill around the main flowers. In dried flowers, we love using the Broom Bloom or the Tatarica statice to give volume.
Again, do not place all the support flowers directly up or on the sides. You can consider the form of composition as a dome, and you must fill all the angles of this dome so that it is complete. Combine smaller flowers in groups of three or five to create clusters, as in nature.

Finish your floral composition

Complete the composition with floating or delicate natural flowers such as gypsophile. Place them last so that they are not crushed or buried by heavier flowers.

Bouquet assembly proposal

Once your rods and dried flowers are prepared, you are ready to assemble your bouquet. Start by building the shape and frame of your bouquet, thinking of the dimensions of the flowers selected as you go.

We advise you to place yourself in front of a mirror while you assemble your bouquet of dried flowers to know exactly what it looks like.

When you assemble the stems of dried flowers in your hands, start with a base, then add your largest central flowers. Then continue to add smaller dried flowers and greenery, balancing the design as the construction progresses.

Once you have built a bouquet of dried flowers that you like, cut the stems to shorten them and wrap the whole bouquet with a rope or a ribbon. Firmly wind a ribbon around the stems for a classic and refined look, or let the ribbon fall in the cascade for a more relaxed "garden" look.

Do not be afraid to be creative with your bouquet of dried flowers. In general, a bouquet follows the rule of odd numbers, which means that three or five flowers are added intentionally.
