Dried flowers are this year’s biggest floristry trend, they are nowhere but old-fashioned, this is one of the coolest ideas currently. Dried blooms aren’t only for fall and vintage weddings, they easily fit modern weddings, too, and can be used in any season. Besides becoming wow-worthy, your wedding decor will be unique as not many couple are daring enough for dried blooms.
Dried flowers are less colorful and fragrant, more lasting and feature mostly muted and warm tones with a variety of shape and texture. From bold stems and seed pods to ethereal grasses and flowers you can incorporate them across your day in bouquets, boutonnieres, backdrops, hanging flowers and centerpieces. You can also combine dried blooms with fresh ones, so your decor will be even more versatile.
The beauty of using naturally dried and preserved flowers is that they are low maintenance needing no water, so can be prepared in advance which is great for boutonnières or hanging installations and are a great option for hot weather weddings when usual blooms wither. Dried blooms are a budget-friendly alternative to fresh flowers. They are also very eco-friendly as you won’t have to throw them away after the wedding day, you may use them in your home or give to charity to create cool arrangements.
