Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Forget everything you thought you knew about dried flowers! If the thought of dried flower arrangements conjures up images of stuffy decor that hasn't seen the light of day in decades, think again. Preserved floral arrangements are cool again, and not only are they beautiful, but they'll also last infinitely longer than fresh flowers.

This gorgeous book offers a new approach to flower arranging with dried botanicals, exploring ways to preserve flowers' beauty forever through drying and pressing, and then presents a catalogue of 30 flowers that are interesting for colour, texture, and sculptural appeal in arrangements. Fifteen step-by-step projects then give you creative ideas for displaying dried flowers including bouquets, wreaths, wall hangings, wall art, flower crowns and buttonholes for weddings, terrariums, candles, and more.

These exquisite floral creations will give a bohemian and poetic touch to your interior decor and everlasting beauty to your home.
