The romantic renaissance of country decorating has brought with it a
return of the craft of drying flowers. Whether used in bouquets, in
potpourri, on wreaths, dried flowers inspire us to create a gentle time
of beauty and elegance in our homes.
Flowers and foliage are dried to capture the essence and beauty of
flowers in winters. Dried flowers together with decorative grasses,
berry-laden branches of shrubs, and foliage, make great decorations.
Using dried flowers one can make swags, baskets, bouquets, wreaths, and
garlands to enhance the décor of your home and offices. Floral
wires are used to bind a group of twigs and branches together. To make
it more beautiful and attractive pinecones, waxed leaves, bells, bows,
spray painted wooden toys are added. Sprays are also used to add
fragrance to it.
A selection of interior design baskets and other whimsical containers
are used to enhance any interior design scheme. These arrangements form
the best décor accents and gifts. They add a touch of elegance,
enhanced beauty and cheerfulness to any office or home. They form a
unique gift that adds an undeniable charm and brings a smile to just
about any occasion. Moss, twigs, wheat and grasses also enhance the
dried flower arrangement. Add a few silk flowers, ribbons or bows to the
arrangement to ensure a more delicate and sophisticated look. They help
create a warm welcoming feeling in your home.
Decorating Tips
- Naturally dried flower and herb designs tend to make a room flow
comfortably instead of competing with everything else in the room.
- If you have bold splashes of colors in your décor, add
some natural touches to give the room more depth and interest.
- A fireside basket next to an empty chair or hearth can look as
though you just cut the flowers from the garden and can add warmth
to the room.
- The bouquets, herb drying racks and small wreaths are perfect for
a wall area or stairway.
- A dining room presents numerous and exciting and a matching
arrangement on your buffet or hutch. Add a candle to the center of
the wreath. Multi colored wreaths are great for this idea.
