A Basic Dried Flower Arrangement

Place your vase on a lazy susan, this is something you will glad you have for floral designing.  Find them at art supply stores (sculpting section) or look for one in a resale shop.
Use floral clay to affix your vase or basket onto to the lazy susan -  make sure you can turn it easily to view your arrangement from all sides.
 
1. Wedge a piece of floral foam into your container. Establish the overall shape of the design using line material such as dried or preserved grasses,dried or preserved lavender, dried wheat, straw, etc..Any of our dried fall flower arrangements will work.  We have several to choose from.

2. Insert the larger focal flowers like hydrangeas or cockscomb first , then add medium size flowers like dried and preserved roses, straw flowers. Space the flowers evenly throughout.

3. Add some additional line material like larkspur or delphinium to accent the overall shape, and add extra fern to fill in any empty spaces.  Use dried flax for fullness.

With the wide variety of dried flower selections we offer, you can add your unique touch to any fall decor.
