YOU Magazine Fashion Beauty Celebrity Health Life Relationships Horoscopes Food Interiors Travel Home Interiors The best dried flowers for your home – including a bargain bunch from Aldi By You Magazine - July 20, 2022 Flowers of the dried variety are really making a comeback, and it’s a great time to take advantage of this cool interiors trend. According to Etsy, there has actually been an impressive 93 per cent increase in searches for dried flowers in the last six months, compared to the same time last year. Even budget retailers such as Aldi have got in on the action, with the supermarket launching a £29.99 bunch of dried flowers (available online from 28th July). Dried bouquet, £29.99, Aldi Why are dried flowers so popular ‘This resurgence is due in part, I think, to prolific posts from lifestyle bloggers who have documented pretty little bunches of posies all over their homes,’ explains Rosie Conroy, florist at Lavender & Rose. There are many benefits to having dry flowers in the home, as well as sending a bunch to a friend in need right now. The obvious one is longevity; dried flowers can literally last a lifetime, so are a great investment that will never look sad or smell bad. These ever-lasting florals are perfect for adding texture and interest to shelves or corners which need a little pick me up, and come in all sorts of shapes and sizes.’ As well as coming in a beautiful array of styles, unlike faux flowers, they also don’t contain any plastic, so are more eco-friendly than buying them fake. Little Deer Are dried flowers better for the environment Rosie recommends trying to avoid dyed versions, which ‘are generally chemically treated in a pretty harsh way, which isn’t the best environmentally speaking.’ Buying one or two versions such as these shouldn’t do too much harm though: ‘they do last for years and as a one-off purchase are a good way to inject a little floral fun into your life.’ As well as traditional dried flowers, these days you can also buy gorgeous pampas grass and bunny tails for an extra hit of texture. These tend to be super tall, so can be housed in that spectacular vase you’ve been looking to fill. Dried flowers are also easier to post as they’re less delicate, making them the perfect pick-me-up for friends and family, whether they’re near or far.
