Dried and preserved flowers are a perfect alternative to fresh flowers. Not only are they aesthetically pleasing and eco-friendly, they are also easy to maintain and can last for years.
Whether to embellish your interior or for special events, they bring an elegant, natural and durable touch to any decoration.
Dried flowers are natural flowers that have undergone a dehydration process.
This process removes moisture from the flowers while preserving their shape and sometimes their color.
Typically, flowers are hung upside down in a dry, dark place to dry slowly. There are also more modern techniques, such as using silica for faster and more precise drying.
This process, often using glycerin, replaces the sap of the flowers and allows them to keep their fresh appearance for several years.
Unlike dried flowers, they remain flexible and retain their bright colors for longer.
