What negative impact do we reduce when creating our decorative designs with dried flowers?





By creating our decorative designs with dried flowers, we are actively contributing to the preservation of biodiversity. Also by not requiring constant cultivation or transporting long distances, these flowers significantly reduce the carbon emissions associated with the traditional floral industry.


Another very important factor is that by deciding not to participate in the demand for fresh flowers grown in large monocultures, we help protect natural ecosystems and conserve the diversity of plant species. This means less deforestation, less use of pesticides and less alteration of the natural habitat of flora and fauna.


Additionally, by using seasonal and local flowers, we support local producers, thus promoting a more sustainable economy and strengthening our communities.


Each small flower arrangement becomes a powerful statement of commitment to the planet and a more eco-conscious lifestyle! 🌿🌼



The best way to preserve dried and seasonal flowers


Here are three great ways to preserve your seasonal, dried flowers so they continue to look radiant and full of life in your home:


  1. Air drying: This classic method is super easy and effective. You just need to hang your flowers upside down in a cool, dry place, such as a well-ventilated room or closet. Let them dry completely for a few weeks and that's it! Your flowers will retain their natural beauty and aroma for a long time.

  2. Glycerin: Glycerin is like a magical elixir to preserve your dried flowers. Mix one part glycerin with two parts hot water and gently soak your flowers in this solution for a few days. Glycerin replaces the sap in the flowers, keeping them flexible and preserving their color and shape. After a few days, take them out, let them dry and voilà! You will have dried flowers that look freshly cut.


Pressing: If you want to preserve your dried flowers in a more artistic way, pressing is perfect for you. Place your flowers between two sheets of absorbent paper, put a weight on them and leave them like that for a few weeks. This method is ideal for making herbariums or creating unique floral works of art. Once your flowers are dried, you can use them to decorate cards, photo frames or notebooks, adding a special touch to any project!


With these simple and eco-conscious techniques, you can preserve your dried and seasonal flowers with all their natural charm. Let's get to work and fill your home with floral beauty in a responsible and creative way! 🌿🌸
