Dried vs Preserved flowers

Many people have asked how I get that texture and those shiny colours, how do I make them and why they last more than 1 year. 

Here is the difference:
 
Dried flowers are basically fresh flowers that opened in a vase, and before they died completely we decide to keep them turning them upside down and keeping them in the dark. They rarely ressemble of what we received as fresh, but at least is something.

Preserved flowers are also dried, but in a more professional way.
The growers leave the flowers in the plant until they are open to their best shape and optimal development. Flowers are cut and rehydrated with a solution of glycerine and colorants, which within 3-4 days  will be absorbed by the stem and petals. This process will replace the water and keep the shape and texture of the fresh flower.

See for yourself...

We like that... 

• We saw the flowers fresh
• Flowers were a gift, they mean something special to us

 




But...

• they are brittle
• colors fade and turn brown
• look rustic and old 
• will disintegrate with time

We LOVE ...

• Fresh appearance
• Soft and flexible
• Bright colours
• Longlasting
• Real flowers
• Ready to use product
• No maintenance, no water needed!

​but... 

• they are not waterproof
• will fade under sunlight

As simple as that...
Next time you think of keeping your flowers longer, think about preserved roses. 
​You won't be disappointed!
