Dried flowers are having a moment, and for good reason! They're beautiful, versatile, and last for months (or even years!) making them a great option for home decor, weddings and craft projects.

Here are a few tips:

Choose flowers with sturdy stems and petals, such as hydrangeas, lavender, and roses.

Avoid flowers with too much moisture, such as lilies and tulips.

Hang your flowers upside down in a dark, well-ventilated room for 1-2 weeks.

Once your flowers are dry, you can trim them to size and arrange them in a vase or other container

If you're looking for the best flowers to dry here is my guide on the best flowers for dried arrangements.

Best flowers for dried arrangements: hydrangeas, celosia, roses, lavender and more. Create beautiful and long-lasting arrangements.
