Dreamy sunrise bridal bouquet from a mountain wedding this fall 🌄

Dried flowers are a great way to make your life easy when you're traveling to the mountains for your wedding celebration. They can be made up in advance and last for ages. No wilting or fading, just stunning local flowers any time of year 🤍

What flowers are best for drying? 🏵️🌸💮

This might seem like a simple question, but there are sooo many options for good drying flowers and some are more obvious than others. We have over 70 varieties in our garden and almost all of them go straight onto the drying racks!

🏵️We grow many everlasting varieties that have papery blooms even when they're fresh like strawflower, and winged everlasting (1st pic) and tons of statice (4th pic). They are the building blocks of most of our dried arrangements and look like they're straight out of the garden when dried properly

🌸There are lots of ornamental grasses and seed pods that dry so well too! Some of our favourites are bunny tail grasses (2nd pic) cloud grass, and seed pods like flax and poppy. They provide so much interest to dried arrangements and look great on their own

💮Some flowers, like Yarrow(3rd pic), don't look like they will dry well but yield great textures and colours! Every year we do some experiments with new flowers to dry. We've started drying more zinnias in the last couple of years thanks to one of these experiments. This year we tried scabiosa which was really successful and we also added some new grasses to the lineup. Not every new variety works out though. Rudbeckia and snapdragons were both experimental dried flowers this year and neither turned out very well. That doesn't mean we won't try them again, but you won't find them in any bouquets this winter!

Just a couple days until our next market. This time we're in Beaumont for

Something new is coming to this weekend! A limited number of extra large dried bouquets in some favourite colour palettes including prairie sunset and toasty neutrals

How long will my dried flowers last?

We get this question all the time and it really depends on how you care for them!

Indoors, and out of direct sunlight, it is totally reasonable to expect a year or two out of your dried arrangements

Things to remember:

🌼The sun's rays make dried flowers fade faster, so a bright, sunny window or your front door may not be the ideal location for longevity of your arrangement

🏵️Low humidity environments are best. Some flowers are not well suited for places like a bathroom, so ask us if you are looking for recommendations of dried flowers that can withstand more moisture

🌸Dried flowers aren't forever! They last sooo much longer than fresh flowers, but they still have a life span. It is important to us that we don't spray or treat the flowers with any chemicals. This means that they can simply go in the compost when it's time for a refresh!

Do you have any more questions about getting the most out of your dried flowers?

We got tired of harvesting individual stems and just chopped down the xeranthemum patch today. There will be a whole other wheelbarrow next week, so I think some kind of installation or flower cloud may be in order.

They looked so good all together that we just had to stop and do a photoshoot with armloads of flowers! 🌸🌸🌸
