Dry Flower Arrangement Ideas

    Dry flowers are light in weight, so the container holding the dry flowers should always be weighted with sand, pebbles or gravel to give stability.
    Use wire cutters to shorten stems. Stems can be lengthen by using wooden floral picks.
    Never use a bare stub wire in an arrangement.
    Arrange the flower in a manner to give them a natural look.
    When using clear containers, add marbles, layers of interesting pebbles, shells, or moss to hide the foam.
    Think about the size of the space in which the arrangement has to be placed and choose the size and shape of the container accordingly.
    Use dry flowers and foliage with different shapes, colors and textures for a more interesting design.
    Always allow some space between dry flowers to prevent a crowded effect.
    Make sure that the colors of the flowers are evenly balanced.
    If the arrangement is permanent, then dip stems in pan glue, white glue or hot glue before inserting them into foam for greater stability and permanence.
