DIY Floral Tutorial: Working with Dried and Preserved Botanicals
Incorporating multiple textures in arrangements is always a good idea, and nothing does that quite like dried and preserved botanicals. Sometimes I layer them alongside fresh flowers, and other times I create arrangements of entirely dry flowers. Here are some DIY tutorial videos showing you different approaches to inspire you to create your own dried floral arrangements at home. Have fun with it!

incorporated non-traditional elements and dried botanicals like pampas grass, bleached umbrella ferns and even feathers to bring the swan arrangements to life.
