Q: How long do dried flowers last?

If kept in ideal conditions, dried flowers can last for many years - the colours may fade over time and they may shed if knocked. To ensure your dried flowers last as long as possible we recommend that you find them a home in a cold, dry room - ideally away from windowsills and extreme heat. Make sure they don't get wet- if they get damp they will start to decompose. If you're putting some outside (maybe on your door or as a table setting) bring them in overnight and in damp weather. Lastly, you'll also need to dust them fairly often, try using a light duster or a hairdryer. Following these steps, your arrangements should last 1-3 years, if not more!

Q: How to make dried flowers smell good?

Our dried flowers have a natural smell, which we love! However you may want your dried bunches or arrangements to be more fragrant, the simple way to do this is to give them a small spritz with a natural, herbal oil - think rose hip, peppermint, honeysuckle, lavender, and lemon oil. Alternatively, if you have access to herbs, you could arrange some of your dried blooms with a few sprigs, or add a few small pieces to your wreaths and garlands, to add some scent.
