🌾🤎 DID YOU KNOW THERE’S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN DRIED & PRESERVED FLOWERS? 🤎🌾
Here at Wayside Flowers by Little River Gypsy, we love working with both dried and preserved blooms! But did you know they’re actually quite different?
🌾 DRIED FLOWERS
Dried flowers are natural blooms that have had their moisture removed through air-drying or other drying methods.
🤎 They have a beautiful rustic, country charm.
🤎 Their texture is more delicate, crisp and papery.
🤎 They often have softer, earthy and muted colours.
🤎 With the right care, they can last for years!
🌸 PRESERVED FLOWERS
Preserved flowers are real flowers that have undergone a special treatment, often using a glycerine-based solution, to help maintain their softness and natural appearance.
🤍 They feel softer and more flexible than dried flowers.
🤍 They can maintain beautiful, vibrant colours.
🤍 They often look and feel closer to fresh flowers.
🤍 They can last for years with proper care!
🌿 SO WHICH IS BETTER?
Neither! They both have their own beauty.
At Wayside Flowers, I love combining dried and preserved flowers to create arrangements full of texture, softness, character and timeless country charm.
✨ THE BEST PART?
Unlike fresh flowers, dried and preserved arrangements don’t need water and can be enjoyed for a long time.
Just keep them out of direct sunlight, away from moisture and handle them gently.
🤎 Real flowers. Beautifully preserved memories. Made to last.
