Valentine’s Day is fast approaching and flowers can be the perfect gift for your loved one! However, fresh flowers are sadly short-lasting and can sometimes wilt before the all-important day itself. Dried and preserved flowers don’t have this problem, as they can last much longer, retaining their colour, form and character!
What’s the difference between dried and preserved flowers?
Dried flowers would previously have been displayed fresh before going through a drying process that captured their beauty and colour before they would have wilted. Although they lose some of their hues, they gain a warm rustic character Preserved flowers are cut directly from the stem and placed in a preservative solution before being displayed, giving them an added freshness and retaining their original colour.
What can I do with these flowers to make a perfect Valentine’s Day gift?
Our dried and preserved flowers come in bouquets but it’s up to you how to display them! Vases are the tried and trusted classic, but another benefit of dried and preserved flowers is that you don’t have to worry about keeping them watered! If you’re feeling adventurous therefore, you could weave them into a wreath, hang them, or place them in baskets.
How long can dried and preserved flowers last?
Both dried and preserved flowers can last for up to a year so they can add beauty to your home long after you put them on display!
