Dried Flowers: Techniques and Ideas for the Modern Home

by Morgane Illes, Hervé Goluza (Photographer)

Overview

Discover a fresh approach to flower arranging with this guide to dried botanicals, featuring a thirty-flower catalogue and fifteen projects to inspire.
 
If the thought of dried flower arrangements is conjuring up images of stuffy décor that hasn't seen the light of day in decades—think again. Preserved floral arrangements are cool again, and not only are they beautiful, they’ll also last infinitely longer than fresh flowers.
 
This gorgeous book offers a new approach to flower arranging with dried botanicals, exploring ways to preserve flowers’ beauty forever through drying and pressing, and then presents a catalogue of thirty flowers that are interesting for colour, texture and sculptural appeal in arrangements.
 
Fifteen step-by-step projects then give you creative ideas for displaying dried flowers including:
 

• Bouquets
• Wreaths
• Wall hangings
• Wall art
• Flower crowns and buttonholes for weddings 
• Terrariums
• Candles and more 

 
These exquisite floral creations will give a bohemian and poetic touch to your interior décor and everlasting beauty to your home.
