DIY dried flower bouquet

Make your own bouquet from dried flower bunches such as delphiniums, dried oats, and daisy-like white acroclinium or similar white rhodanthus flowers.

How to make a dried flower bouquet

I used one bunch each of the flowers listed above, except the acroclinium, which only required 12-15 stems. As well as the flowers, you will need some ribbon, an elastic band, secateurs and sharp scissors for this DIY project.

Good Evening,
I want to make a DIY dried flower bouquet with dried heather as the main theme. I have dried bunches of lung and bell heather. Could you recommend some dried flowers that would compliment the heather in the bouquet.
Thanks
Rebecca

Hi Rebecca,
That’s a tricky one – if you include flowers with larger heads, they will naturally dominate. You could mix in some blue dried lavender or white dried gypsophila for a bit of contrast, or some dried grasses – I think oats might look quite nice, which dry a pale green colour.
Good luck! Ruth
