Antonia De Vere, a top designer in dried floral creations, shows how to select, dry, and then work with flowers to their best advantage.A top designer in dried floral welcomes you into her studio to learn the craft's potential. Today in floral design, dried flowers and botanicals give their fresh cousins a strong run for their long-held position as the classic material. Today, unrecognizable from the 1970s (when they were first trendy), dried flowers are a popular material for the most modern, contemporary creations in flower art. This art's sustainability and zero-waste focus—damaged flowers that can’t be sold for fresh bouquets can be used productively—is another reason "forever flowers" are perfect for today.
