In addition to simply putting them on display, you can also take a different approach to putting dried flower arrangements on display for Christmas. Take a step in a different direction by plucking a few stems from a bouquet and using those to fill up clear plastic baubles. You’ll need to gently snip away the portions or petals that you want to show off, taking your time to either fill the bauble entirely with some filler (like rose petals) and pressing your dried flowers of choice so that they face the exterior, allowing them to show whenever you gaze at the baubles. Hang them up on the tree and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing you customized your Christmas decorations in a highly creative way this year.
You can also create your own take on a dried flower arrangement by mixing and matching stems to create entirely new, seasonally appropriate bouquets that are all your own. These can go anywhere in the home, but they also happen to make great gifts for anyone who appreciates Mother Nature’s beauty. And who wouldn’t appreciate flowers that will last and last — and that don’t even require any additional care and maintenance?
If you’re hosting dinner, you might even place a small bundle or a miniature bouquet of dried flowers by each person’s plate at the table. It adds a hint of ethereal charm to the environment and gets the meal started out on the right note. People appreciate when you go the extra mile, and you’ll enjoy that it’s a relatively simple task that won’t take an inordinate amount of time to achieve.
Dried flowers are also very easy to handle. You can use them to adorn different areas of the home, adding a festive touch to unexpected spaces that you may not have even thought to decorate previously. Attach a few lone stems to a mirror, for example, or line a mantle with a few stems from a favorite arrangement. Take small jam or mason jars and fill them with smaller stems. Just one or two dried flowers exude a modern and refined look, perfect for a home that’s more minimal in design.
You can’t go wrong with a dried bouquet. It adds color and personality to your home during the Christmas season, and it’s great for everything from decorating to gifting. Once you make it a key part of your celebrations, you’ll wonder how you ever decorated without it.
