Dried Flowers Decor
1. Create a floral arrangement
A floral arrangement is a beautiful way to display your flowers. Whether you place them in a vase, a bucket, a basket, a pitcher, or even an old flower pot – a floral arrangement can help add an elegant charm to your decor all season long and bring an inviting feeling to your home.
2. Hang them
One of my favorite ways to use flowers in decorating is by hanging them. Hanging them up can add a simple touch of old-world charm to any decorating space and is truly eye-catching. You can hang them on an old ladder, from open beams, a peg rack, or even in an open frame on the wall.
Whatever you prefer, displaying dried flowers by hanging is a great way to add a whimsical, farmhouse style to your decor.
3. Create a garland
If you’re feeling creative, creating a garland is another great way to display dried flowers. Whether it’s for a special occasion or just some seasonal decor, a garland is a great way to mix and match flowers and put them to use for months at a time. You can use them to adorn your mantels, as table pieces, or hang them above doors. Whatever you use them for, garlands are a great way to add texture and beauty to any space.

For this, you can just take a small piece of twine and gently tie a sprig of flowers to the napkin, and you’re all done. This design is simple, feminine, beautiful and perfect for romantic tablescapes and celebrations.

Placing dried flowers on a mantle is another great way to accent a room and bring a focal point to your fireplace.

Lastly, another way to add dried flowers to your decoration could be to adorn a mirror with some of your favorite flowers. You could do this with a garland, or just a few of your favorite flower stems to add a charming, feminine look. You can also simply plop a few favorite dried flowers into an old bucket for a simple moveable look.
