Dried Flower Bouquets for Weddings

With wedding season just around the corner, what better time to learn about incredible dried flower florals? This year, we have seen an increase in popularity surrounding dried flower bouquets at weddings, and it comes as no surprise. They are long-lasting, beautiful, and eco-friendly, making them perfect for all couples looking for a timeless addition to their big day.

Whether planning an intimate elopement or a grand affair, this guide will show you why dried wedding flowers are more than just a trend; they're a stylish, sustainable choice for the modern couple.

About Dried Flower Bouquets

Our dried flower bouquets are beautiful arrangements of foliage carefully preserved using sustainable methods. This natural process allows the dried flowers to look their best while remaining long-lasting. Dried flower bouquets are highly favoured for their stunning shape, structure and colour, presenting pastel and earthy tones suited to all wedding decor.

Some popular flowers found in dried arrangements include eucalyptus, pampas grass and lavender. Our dried flower bouquets come in various sizes and colours, suited to all brides and grooms.

Why 2025 Brides Are Choosing Dried Flowers

Long-Lasting

Dried flower bouquets won’t wilt or die, meaning you can cherish your bridal bouquet for years after the wedding. Many couples now frame or repurpose their dried blooms into wreaths, shadow boxes, or stylish home décor. What better way to remember your special day than this?

Sustainable

Fresh flowers often require refrigeration, long-distance shipping, and water. On the other hand, dried flowers can be locally sourced, reused, and require no water at all, making them a low-waste, planet-friendly alternative. For our eco-friendly couples out there, consider a dried flower bridal bouquet.

Fast Turnaround

Because dried flowers last, you can finalise your wedding flowers well ahead of time. No last-minute surprises, no worrying about blooms wilting before the big day. Your dried flower bouquet and arrangements will look perfect on your wedding day and for years to come.

Budget-Friendly

While some dried flowers can be premium, they are more cost-effective in the long run. You can reuse them throughout your wedding day, ceremony, reception, and photo shoot and take them home afterwards. No need to spend a fortune on fresh blooms that will perish straight after the big day.

Aesthetically Pleasing

Dried florals pair beautifully with popular wedding themes like boho, minimalist, vintage, rustic, or Scandi-chic. Their texture and muted colours add a romantic, whimsical touch.

When to Order Your Dried Wedding Flowers

One of the biggest perks of dried flowers is their flexibility. Unlike fresh blooms, which need to be prepped just before your wedding day, dried flowers can be ordered months in advance.

We recommend ordering your bouquets and arrangements at least 4-6 weeks before your wedding date to allow for any custom additions and shipping time.

Tips for Styling Dried Wedding Bouquets

We have a few tips and tricks to share to get the most out of your dried flower wedding bouquet. Firstly, we recommend wrapping the stems with ribbons or lace that complement your wedding colour scheme, adding a personal and elegant touch. Enhance the sensory experience by including naturally scented dried lavender or a few drops of essential oil.

Be sure to store your arrangement in a cool, dry place to preserve its colour and structure until the big day. For a unique twist, consider mixing fresh and dried flowers. Pair hardy blooms like protea with dried stems for a beautifully textured, long-lasting hybrid bouquet.
