A beautiful old fishing creel filled with Maine’s wildflowers and foraged finds for a very special mans memorial service 💜.

I don’t typically do memorial arrangements but when Jake Hall told me about his father Robert and all the outdoor passions he had (including foraging himself) and that he and his family specifically wanted a dried arrangement I knew I wanted to help.

Unfortunately pictures don’t quite do this arrangement justice but it definitely was a beauty 💛.

💡 Did you know that there is a difference between the term, preserved flowers and dried flowers?

Well there is!!

👉 So really, preserved is a general or main term for any process of floral preservation but in the floral world today there is one method of preserving that is strictly labeled preserved. That is a method of preserving with glycerin and typically a dye is added as well. Its definitely a process!

🌺 You know those wedding bouquets I post that have lush greens in them that look so fresh, well that is preserved greens (mainly eucalyptus varieties). Some of the flowes too (typically roses).

🫶Glycerin preserves flowers by replacing the plant's natural moisture with a humectant, which helps maintain their flexibility and color, effectively preventing them from drying out and becoming brittle

🌼 Dried Flowers are naturally air dried. Nothing added. Two different looks 💐.

💡 Then you got pressed flowers, flowers preserved with silica gel, freeze dried flowers which I know nothing about but very intrigued 😅. Oh and you got sola wood flowers which are not real at all but they are made with tapioca wood and come in soooo many varieties of flowers so they are a perfect option for that “fresh looking” flower in bouquets and arrangements.

💐 Here are just a few examples of dried, preserved and sola flowers. Can you tell what is what? Some may be mixed!

Local blooms are the best blooms 🌸

Farmers across the state are banding together to take on the hegemony of imports in local flower shops. If they succeed, Maine floriculture could hit full bloom.
