Yes, they’re back, but not as they were (for those that can remember them the first time around!).
Let us introduce you to the Westflor World of Wholesale Dried Flowers and why they’re so important!
2024 continues to see a resurgence of dried and preserved flowers.
A bunch of dried flowers in a simple vase can transform an unloved corner of a home.
They will never be a replacement for fresh flowers, they have their own interior-design niche – one that should not be underestimated or overlooked!
Dried plant material is a botanical trend that is seen more and more.
This is the case not only in every glossy home trend magazine you pick up, or in every homeware advert you see, but also in so many homes.
In our fast-paced world we crave for a little simple rustic charm.
Although it’s likely to be subconscious the reason preserved and dried materials have become such a huge interior design trend is the sense of nostalgia they offer.
The interesting thing about this trend is...
Dried flowers really can work in any décor scheme whatsoever, counter intuitive as that may sound. Whether it’s a rural country idle, a city centre loft apartment, or anything in-between!
Colour Tones
Nudes and natural tones lead the way.
Allow us to paint the picture from just a few of the items that are so popular; stems of cotton, dried poppy seed heads, pampus grass, preserved bleached ruscus, craspedia balls, stabilized beech, Eucalyptus nuts, natural palm leaves, Phalaris and lagurus, and as shown by the images; many, many more. They all make for simple but stunning additions to any room.
You don’t have to stock a wide range, in fact you don’t have to stock any at all with the ability to buy a whole host of wholesale dried flowers with a short lead time.
Textures too
Vibrant colours rock the scene.
In stark contrast, to the nude and natural tones, attention grabbing vibrant coloured dried foliage and plant materials is a hot trend that’s demanding attention and rocking the scene.
Whilst you can probably visualise these dried articles and flowers in urban apartments, they’re showing up in many homes and workplaces of those that don’t shy away from a punch of colour. They’re also making their debut in a lot of everyday designs – but more on that shortly.
As the heading suggests, whilst these images illustrate the bright colours, let’s not ignore the amazing textures that these dried materials bring too. We have everything from curly sword shapes, to delicate fluffy grasses, small spheres to 6 foot sticks!
The range of wholesale dried flowers is certainly NOT limited – you name it – we have it!
MIXIN’ IT UP
So far we’ve only considered dried flowers and plant material on their own. However, fresh and dried flowers together have exploded in popularity.
Whilst at first thought this could seem odd, if we consider the dried material to be less of a permanent feature, but simply there to compliment the other flowers within the design, it can seem a fantastic choice.
Have you considered the convenience that flowers could bring?
Another reason mixing dried or preserved with fresh shouldn’t be dismissed, is the convenience.
There is nothing like fresh flowers. We think they should always take centre stage, but if you’ve had a rush on during the day and receive a late order bulking it up with a couple of stems of preserved ruscus might make all the difference.
Perhaps a customer requests an all white bouquet, bizarrely the 3rd that day! Could adding in individual cotton heads provide another form and complete the design where you might have struggled otherwise?
Let’s face it you don’t need to worry about their vase life!
Wedding Flowers with Dried Flowers & Foliage
Dried flowers in bridal designs are increasing popular
In the most part it’s the trend for sensitive and beautiful additions of dried and preserved stems into bridal designs that leads the way.
Perfect with the carefree wedding look
What illustrates a carefree bridal bouquet more than some stunning grasses or wispy foliage, of course these are available in a huge range of fresh, but to coordinate with the colour scheme, dried or preserved is perhaps a better choice?
Bridal designs that are all dried flowers
As the dried flower trend really hit’s its stride, we also see more wedding designs entirely of dried and preserved flowers and plant materials. There is certainly no shortage of colours, textures, shapes, or forms. In short there’s a multitude of plant materials available to make bridal designs from the simple with just a few combinations, to elaborate mixed bouquets.
Do you offer dried wedding flowers?
Could you? We will leave this thought with you, perhaps it’s an area to be mindful of. Whether you’d like to embrace it, or let other’s take the lead, is of course, your choice. Just know, we can provide you with everything you’ll ever need, giving you the ultimate choice.
