Dry flowers are completely hot! They are not only super trendy, but also ideal because they last much longer than fresh flowers. No hassle with refreshing water or throw away wilted flowers. But how do you ensure that your dry flowers stay beautiful for as long as possible? In this blog we share our best tips for taking care of dry flowers, so that you can enjoy your bouquet extra long!
1. Put your dry flowers in the right place
Dry flowers love a dry and dark place. Direct sunlight can cause the colors to fade, and that is of course a shame! So prefer not to put your bouquet in front of the window, but choose a place where they are a bit out of the sun. And if you really want to keep them beautiful for a long time, make sure they are not in a damp space, such as the bathroom.
Taking care of dry flowers Tip: Avoid direct sunlight and damp places!
2. Dust your dry flowers regularly
Dry flowers attract fabric, and that naturally looks less fresh. No panic! It is very easy to keep them dust -free. Just use a soft plumeau or a hair dryer on the lowest position (and cold air) to carefully blow the dust away. This is how your dry flowers look like new again!
Tip for dust -free dry flowers: Use a plumeau or hair dryer to keep your flowers fresh.
3. Keep them away from draft
Dry flowers love peace, just like you on a lazy Sunday. Therefore, do not put your bouquet near an open window or door where there is a lot of drafts. The flowers can be fragile and strong wind or draft can cause them to damage faster. So a quiet place is the best!

4. Do not water!
This may sound logical, but still a small reminder: dry flowers do not need any water. In fact, moisture can damage them. So, even if you are used to putting fresh flowers in a vase with water, it is important to remember that dry flowers cannot stand it.
Dry flowers Tip: Water is not necessary - keep them nice and dry!
5. Occasionally cut the stems
As with fresh flowers, the stems of dry flowers can become less beautiful over time. If you notice that the stems are getting a bit ragged, you can carefully crop them with sharp scissors. This ensures that your bouquet always looks well cared for.
Care tip: Cut the stems occasionally for a fresh look.
6. Give them a moment of rest occasionally
Have you had your dry flowers in the same place for a while? Then it can be nice to give them another place or to put them away temporarily. By giving your dry flowers a break of sunlight, for example, they can stay beautiful for longer.
Taking care of dry flowers Tip: Excit occasionally, to keep them beautiful for extra long.
