Choosing a bridal bouquet made of fresh flowers will always be a stunning, traditional option. But that doesn’t mean it’s the only choice for your wedding! If you’re looking for an alternative, a dried flower bouquet may be the perfect fit.

Dried flower bouquets are made up of blooms, grasses, greenery, and other elements that have been intentionally dried for preservation. These arrangements can incorporate dried elements only, or you can include a few fresh blooms or sprigs of greenery if that matches your aesthetic. Not only will these elements add lovely texture to a wedding day bouquet, but they’re also already preserved, making it easier to keep your bouquet for years to come!
