Revival being the optimal word when it comes to flowers. Who hasn’t tried all sorts of ways to get the most out of freshly picked flowers? Whether it be a Mothers day gift or a gorgeous pick from your own garden to liven up the house, it can be quite sad when your bright bouquet withers after just a couple of days. Do not despair, Dried Flowers can save your day!

Dried versus Fresh

Dried flowers are very, very low maintenance and long lasting. If you are after a certain look for your home or office, the choice is yours and available all year round. Because the flowers are dried they can also be stored away for future use and you don’t have to wait for the right season to roll around to buy your fave flower.

Dried flowers are more sustainable than fresh; they are lighter to transport and, as they can be easily sourced locally, there is no need for air miles to get them here therefore zero emissions and good for the planet.

Nature’s Way

Multi coloured, bright, dyed flowers maybe some peoples desire but nature has such an immense range of natural tones to choose from why would you want to add any nasties? Here at Gratitude gift boxes we are lucky to have the artistic flare of Shiree at Bleu, who creates for us mini bouquets to compliment our “Gift boxes for Her” range, especially Mothers Day gift boxes. They are also a perfect addition to our popular Chocolate gift hampers and Create your Own gift box service. Shiree chooses only locally grown flowers for bouquets, wreaths, pot pourri and pressed flowers. It is so easy to mix and match whether it be pastel, natural, black and white, subtle pinks, greens, blues or greys, dried flowers are a winner.

With their organic structures and shapes, delicate colours, and feel-me textures, dried flowers like soft pampas grass and wild rose, add a new modern and look to floral decoration.

And how about dried flowers for your wedding or corporate office? No need to worry about freeze preserving fresh flowers for the big day, the “to do” list will be long enough already!

Apparently some large companies like to welcome and impress customers with flowers and many NZ businesses use staff gifting to say Thank you or Job well done: dried flowers with a few other goodies packed in a gift box and matching your brand colour, is not only a bit unique but also a great way to personalise your gift.
