Preserved Beauty

Dried flowers, pampas grass, and bouquets are the interiors trend of 2020. Who knew that invasive grass would be all the rage?? But seriously, if you’re looking for an effortless and beautiful way to bring nature to your home, try adding some preserved beauty to your space!

5 easy ways to display dried flowers + plants

1 // Dried Bunny Tails. If you’re on a budget, bunny tails are an easy and affordable way to incorporate dried grass in your home. They look beautiful alone but can also be paired with other dried grass and florals. Display them in a ceramic or glass jar.

2 // Pampas Grass. These large and fluffy accent pieces are all over Pinterest, wedding blogs, and Etsy! There are different varieties of Pampas Grass so you have many options to choose from! They shed so make sure you give them a good shake before bringing it into your home. Strong hairspray also helps with the shedding. These pieces can be displayed in large vases and baskets.

3 // Framed Pressed Floral Pieces. Fun fact: I used to have a framed floral Etsy shop of my own! Lots of shops sell them now or you can DIY it! Here’s my tutorial on how to press plants – you can either decorate cards with them or frame them in a beautiful backless frame (usually available at TJ Maxx or Marshalls).

4 // Preserved Floral Bouquets. Forever bouquets can be gorgeous centerpieces or accent pieces in your home! My friend Ashley sells them on her shop, Reed & Rye, or you can DIY it! Shops like AFLORAL have individual pieces that you can pick and choose from to create your own bouquet.

5 // These Floral Soy-Based Candles. A subtle but delightful way to incorporate preserved florals in your home is with these adorable eco-friendly candles from The MUNIO! I recently reviewed this brand here (they also make body oils and gorgeous handcrafted soaps). How adorable are these candles though??
