Why are dried flowers beautiful? Flowers are lovable for any occasion. Its abundant fragrance and vibrant colours became why flowers are the ideal ornaments, decorations, or gifts. However, many people deemed fresh flowers as a burden rather than a bundle of lush purity. Though beautiful, it takes quite an effort to keep flowers blooming. In the end, it will wilt and wither away.
That is why nowadays people are moving to another alternative. Whereas fresh flowers are short-lived and temporary, dried flowers are much more sustainable, easier to care for, and give off a newfound meaning of true beauty. Dried flowers are beautiful and much adored, and let us tell you why.
Everlasting Aesthetic
Most of the time, we need to see something age and wither away to really appreciate its beauty. For example, take old buildings. Only when its walls and columns have decayed and lost their colours, do we understand its vintage and historical significance rhyming in contrast with its modern surroundings.
The same is applied to flowers. Only after it has lost its moisture and greenery, can we really see its rustic, vintage appeal. Once dried, flowers can last much longer. If handled properly, it is possible to enjoy the dried blossoms for decades to come.
It Comes in All Shapes and Sizes
As many as there are various types of flowers, there will always be dried versions. From flatheads, rosettes, funnels, trumpets, bells, globes, cups, or star-shaped blossoms. When dried properly, most flowers will even retain their shapes and colours.
Moreover, with drying, you can explore new shapes that aren’t available in fresh flowers. Imagine a flat-pressed rose flower embossed on your bedroom’s wall. You can also opt for a dried golden-brown bouquet of grassy strands, papery ferns, and rustic blossoms of rosettes and bell flowers. The only limit is your creativity.
Effortless Maintenance
One of the most important reasons why dried flowers are adored is because of their low to no maintenance. Most people might struggle to maintain fresh flowers and plants correctly. Whereas dried flowers don’t require any watering, feeding, or intensive care.
You don’t need to keep a reminder in your calendar to water it every few days, nor do you need to trim. All you need to do is handle them with care when holding them, place them in a warm dry place, and don’t put them in a place exposed to direct sunlight. With this minimum maintenance, you can relish the beauty of dried flowers for a very long time.
Versatile Decor
There are tons of uses for dried flowers. Most people would choose to admire them as simple room decorations. You can put them in a vase or hang them in frames on a wall. You can also press them and put them in phone cases or notebooks. Their papery floral fragrance will also make great room aromatics. You can put them in small net satchels or potpourri bowls. Dried flowers also make beautiful wreaths or flower crowns.
Dried flower decors are also great for any occasion. Whether it’s a festive celebration, a heartwarming gift, wedding decorations, or even for condolence purposes. After all, dried flowers are the perfect symbol of ‘life in death’. Dried flowers are truly versatile in their use, for whatever purposes.
Always in Season
One of the drawbacks of fresh flowers is their seasonal availability. Some types of flowers can only live in certain seasons, therefore you can’t always get them anytime. Since dried flowers are preserved for elongated life—sometimes in large batches—you can get them in any season.
Not only that, but you can also match your dried flower decorations with the current season. This can be done by dyeing them or spraying them with certain fragrances. For instance, you can dye your roses white and sprinkle them with glitter to match those snowy winter decorations.
Value for Money
Lastly, dried flowers are an excellent value for money. Although dried flowers are more expensive than fresh ones, you can be sure that the purchase is worth every penny. Why? Because dried flowers can last a hundred times longer than fresh flowers; they have more uses, and they need low maintenance.
