I brought some flowers home from Danny and Natasha's wedding. They were so pretty. I wanted to enjoy them while they were fresh but also thought about preserving some of them. I didn't have much time to research how to do it but I did know that you turn them upside down and hang them to dry out.
I read where it says to hang them in a dark place, but I wanted to enjoy them so I hung them on the hall tree in the foyer.
It reminds me of a display you might see in an Anthropologie store. I think their displays (and Arhaus's too) are amazing!
I also pressed a few in books. Don't they look 3D here?
Any ideas for me on what to do with these flowers?
I just love pressed flowers! Have fun decided what to do with them. :)
ReplyDeleteI've pressed flowers before and held on to them for years (unfortunately I accidentally misplaced them ;( Let us know if hanging them upside down helps.
ReplyDeleteThose are absolutely lovely, Patty, and I have long dreamed of such a hall tree for our foyer too. Our foyer is very small but one piece like this would be just right. Love your new profile pic too.

When my daughter married I did the same thing - hung some of the flowers from her bouquet upside down to dry. I pressed a few as flat as possible then glued them to a 2"x6" card, had it laminated and made a bookmark for her with their names and the date of the wedding. The rest I used the petals as potpourri, storing them in a small brass box with punched hole designs for ventilation.
