In this video, I show you how I make a vibrant dried flower bouquet. I use the same technique I use for a fresh bouquet. As always, I start with foliage. I go with lindera and eucalyptus which dry well and remain sturdy over time. I then pick out dried flowers that best hold their color: sunflowers, larkspur, marigolds, ammobium, and statice. For fun, I stick some okra pods onto wood skewers to add into the mix. Bind wire keeps the bouquet together and I finish it with a craft paper wrap.
