This bouquet consists of a beautiful mix of fresh flowers and dried flowers. With their luxuriant foliage, the thistles give this autumn bouquet a tough look. The carnations, with their cheerful colours and lovely petals, are the perfect counterpart. Limonium, the dried flower of the 80s, is also a must. And what about dried flowers such as Heracleum and Lagarus? Their names may not ring a bell, but you will certainly recognise them as dried flowers.
You will need
- Blue thistles
- Carnations
- Limonium
- Dried flowers (Heracleum and Lagarus)
How to make it
Ask your local florist to arrange this bouquet, or work with these tips for arranging a bouquet yourself. Have the carnations finished flowering? Then remove them from the bouquet and enjoy the other (dried) flowers for a long time to come. Limonium and blue thistles can be given a second lease of life by drying them, in keeping with this season's style trend. That way they can continue to shine, just like the other dried flowers!
