How to choose the right dried flowers?

Choosing dried and preserved flowers starts with what you want to make or display. A finished bouquet, stems for your own arrangement and wedding flowers call for different things. Before comparing colours, decide how much arranging you want to do and where the flowers will go.

Start with the right collection

For a finished design, browse our bouquets and signature arrangements. If you prefer to choose the ingredients yourself, explore our dried and preserved flower materials, with options sold by the bunch or individually.

Planning flowers for a wedding? Start with the bridal flowers collection and look at each design's available options. For a hands-on project, browse our DIY kits and compare the pink and natural palettes.

Choose colours and shapes for your setting

Look at the colours already in your room or wedding plans, then compare the product photos for shape and texture. Think about the space around the flowers, too. A design for a bedside table may need a different shape from one intended as a table centrepiece.

Check what you are buying

Read the individual product description before ordering. Look for the dimensions, the number of stems or quantity per bunch, and what is included. Check whether a vase is included rather than assuming that everything shown in a styled photograph comes with the flowers.

Where options are available, make sure you have selected the item and quantity you want. For a DIY kit, check the contents before planning your project. If a measurement, included item or other detail is missing, contact us before ordering.

Plan where to display your flowers

Choose a dry spot away from direct sunlight. Dried and preserved flowers do not need watering. Read our flower care FAQ and any care information provided for the product you choose.
