Fresh and dried botanicals are actually perfect complements. Dried specimens give an arrangement structure while fresh specimens give it movement. The dried ones can be harder to work with, in the sense that they don’t bend or move. The advantage of mixing them with the fresh is that the fresh can add some movement. And literally everything in this photo that’s fresh will dry really well. Even if you left this as is for the entire holiday, it wouldn’t really change — maybe just fade a bit from green to gray From left to right: Yuko Sato ceramic vase under recycled glass cloche; large beach stone vase with dried silver brunia; Yuko Sato ceramic vase. |
