How to choose dried flowers for a birthday?

Choosing a birthday bouquet for a friend is sometimes a dilemma because there are so many choices available to you. We help you choose the best dried flowers for a birthday gift with some tips! To have a perfect birthday gift, you first need to know what the person in question prefers. A bouquet of dried flowers, dried flowers in a bunch to make your own gift, an original decoration made of dried flowers such as a bell made of dried flowers, a garland of dried flowers, a soliflore with a few dried flowers, or a crown of dried flowers.

If your loved one is a fan of decoration, know that dried flowers go well with all styles of interior decoration: modern, old, retro 60s, country house, Haussmann style... Choosing dried flowers, it's choosing flowers that will match any decor. For example, a bouquet of dried Port de la Selva flowers will go wonderfully in a minimalist interior with dominant white and wood colors.
If you choose dried flowers in a bouquet for your birthday gift, you will then need to carefully choose the container in which it will be placed. The height and opening of your vase is essential for your birthday gift as a whole to be harmonious. A bouquet of dried flowers in size S will fit perfectly in a vase with an opening diameter of 4 cm to 7 cm in diameter. Prefer a bouquet of dried flowers that are too tall rather than too short, so you can readjust your dried flowers to the size of your container.

If you would like to accompany your gift with a small birthday card, you can write your birthday note directly on our site. We will then attach your birthday card to your dried flowers and your loved one will be delighted!

Will my birthday present last?

Giving dried flowers means giving a floral birthday gift that lasts over time. To preserve your birthday bouquet as best as possible, we have some advice for you. To keep your birthday present in good condition for as long as possible, the best way is to touch it as little as possible. We advise you to place the dried flowers away from a source of direct natural light, which dims the vibrancy of the colors of the dried flower bouquet. Also avoid damp rooms and outdoors. Don't put water in your vase either. The flowers are dried, and do not require water to live, unlike fresh flowers. Finally, to dust your birthday bouquet, you can gently pass a cold hair dryer over the dried flowers to loosen the dust without damaging the dried flowers. If your hair dryer is powerful, don't bring it too close to your bouquet of dried flowers.
A bouquet of dried birthday flowers can be kept for several months, and up to a year, without tarnishing if you follow our tips for storing it. Some dried flowers keep longer than others, dried grasses such as wheat and oats are very resistant. Also, immortelles which, as their name suggests, are dried flowers that can be kept for several years without changing. We use stabilized flowers in our compositions which are flowers that drink vegetable glycerin before being dried, which allows the flower to be more flexible, less brittle and to last longer.

How to dry flowers for a birthday gift?
Most of our flowers are dried in our workshop in Perpignan and Cadaqués. We select the flowers that dry best, while maintaining their robustness and natural color over time.
However, if you want to dry your flowers yourself to create a homemade birthday gift, we have some advice for you. For good drying, you should choose a well-ventilated, dark room so as not to expose the flowers to direct sunlight. The environment must be warm so that the flowers can dry properly. Our workshops are located in the south of France and Spain, which allows perfect drying thanks to the hot and dry climate. We place our flowers upside down in order to stop the sap in its ascent towards the flower. It is important to strip the leaves of the plant if it has leaves because they maintain humidity in the plant and prolong drying. You will then have to be patient and wait for time to do the rest, to have beautiful dried birthday flowers. Don't forget to plan in advance because otherwise you risk not getting a birthday present in time. To avoid this inconvenience, we offer 24-hour delivery, which will ensure you have your birthday flowers at the right time.
