Dried Roses

Does your special someone surprise you with roses? Wanta keep them? I know I do! I love dried roses! Most people hang their flowers upside down to dry, but there's a better way!! I allow mine to dry the way they wilt, then once dried I arrange them to make a bouquet mixed with all my other dried roses! I mix all sorts of colors - red, pink, white, purple! It's so romantic!!



 You can pick any vase you want! I chose a clear vase and added some rose petals at the bottom. I personally enjoy the way the dry stems look, it adds an earthy element to the romantic roses and to the room, but you can use a solid colored vase, it's all about personal preference! In a more modern space a big bouquet of dried white roses in a sleek vase would be lovely!!
