A few years back, there was a resurgence in the popularity of dried flowers after a few dormant decades where they were relegated to proverbial attic. But they burst their way back onto the scene and into our homes, and they’re as popular as ever today. At Victoria Florists, we are excited about the sheer variety and abundance of dried and artificial flowers at our fingertips – because it means endlessly innovative arrangements for you.

Anything but old-fashioned and humdrum

Put to bed those old ideas about dried flowers being dusty and dreary. On the contrary combinations of dried and dyed flowers offer incredible versatility and vitality. They may be rustic and charming, or architectural and dramatic. The best bit is that they offer lasting loveliness.  

Feature flowers

Whimsical bunny tails are hard to resist, whether creamy and natural or dyed for pops of colour. Helichrysums (strawflowers) and hydrangeas are also popular in our dried bouquets along with yarrow, wheat and eucalyptus. Again, these may be left au naturel or dyed for added drama. For its gossamer gorgeousness, gypsophilia or baby’s breath often features in our arrangements.

To dye or to leave au naturel?

Because we are able to dye our flowers and add kisses of colour with artificial blooms, there are so many options when it comes to embracing colour. Moody or buoyant blues are definitely sought after, however the au naturel look is on trend, especially paired with soft blush or deeper burgundy tones.

Mini mementoes

There’s a season for every fashion and floral trend, but you’d be wrong in thinking the popularity of dried flowers has passed. In fact, young people have picked up on it and are requesting dried flowers for bespoke corsages and buttonholes for school formals. Because it’s something different and exciting, and because they can keep their exquisite miniature arrangements as mementoes of this special occasion. The lasting loveliness of dried flowers also makes them a popular choice for weddings – the bride can keep her bouquet as a lasting reminder of her big day.

Rustic and radiant wreaths

Whether you live in a characterful villa or modern abode, our dried wreaths can subtly tie in or brilliantly punctuate your décor! With moss and twigs, they evoke the native forest floor; or embellished with pops of colour, they’re a playful focal point in any space. Regardless of the style or age of your home, we know we can put together something you’ll love, and that visitors will covet!

At Victoria Florists, we are coming up with inspiring combinations daily, combining natural dried flowers with dyed versions and artificial flowers. Whatever style you’re after, we can create timeless or innovative arrangements just for you.
