Dried flowers are real blooms that have been carefully preserved to last for months or even years without wilting or fading. They retain their natural beauty, texture, and charm while requiring little to no maintenance. Whether styled in a bouquet, tabletop dome, or gift box, dried flowers bring timeless elegance into any space.

🌿 How Are Dried Flowers Made?
There are several methods to dry and preserve flowers, depending on the type of bloom and the desired look. Here are the most popular ones:
1. Air Drying
The most traditional and eco-friendly method. Flowers are hung upside down in a dry, dark, and well-ventilated space for 1–3 weeks until moisture evaporates naturally.
Best for: Wildflowers, roses, statice, limonium.
2. Silica Gel Drying
Flowers are buried in silica gel crystals which absorb moisture while keeping petals intact. This helps preserve the original color and shape better than air drying.
Best for: Daisies, hydrangeas, peonies.
3. Pressing
Flowers are flattened between heavy books or in a flower press. This method creates delicate, paper-like blooms perfect for resin art, framing, or journals.
Best for: Ferns, small daisies, pansies.
4. Microwave Drying
A fast-track version using microwave-safe silica gel containers. It preserves vibrant color in minutes but needs careful handling.
Best for: Crafters or small-batch florists.
5. Glycerin Preservation
This replaces the water in stems with glycerin, keeping the flower soft and flexible. Often used for greenery and foliage.
Best for: Eucalyptus, palm leaves, ruscus.
