Freeze Dried Flower Arrangements


Q: Do you make arrangements out of freeze dried flowers? What's the process? Can they be shipped?

A: You can pretty much do anything with freeze dried flowers that you can do with fresh. The difference is...they last longer. Unprotected freeze dried flowers, ie. those not contained in something like a shadow box of glass bowl, will not last as long as those protected by a container of some kind. They will eventually get soiled and there really isn't any good way to clean them. Also, they are very fragile. If you don't want to put your flowers in a shadow box, we suggest you consider a glass bowl. They are beautiful and will protect your flowers for many years. If you insis, however, we will make you an arrangement. They are too fragile to be shipped and you will need to pick them up.

Dried Flower Ideas

Q: Do you have any ideas for dried flowers? I know you make shadowboxes and such...but is there anything else...more unusual?

A: Yes. We have several ideas for you. I'm not sure if your looking for yourself...a personal gift...or a gift for someone else. One of our Keepsake Balls, personalized with a special message or a name, would be very unique. Also, our Glass Bowl is something special. It can be placed vertually anywhere in the home...used as a centerpiece...on a dresser...practically anywhere. It looks like a fresh garden of flowers. The good news is...it takes no care.

Dry Flower Gift


Q: I'm looking for a dry flower gift. My sister just loves flowers...but she's too frail now to care for them. What do you suggest?

A: We have many dry flower gift ideas on the website. The one that comes to mind that might be perfect for your sister is our Glass Bowl. You could send us flowers to be freeze dried (perhaps she has received birthday flowers) or we could create a beautiful indoor garden for her with our stock of freeze dried flowers. Either way, she's sure to enjoy her flower gift every day.
