How to Care for Dried Flowers?
Dried flowers are wonderfully low-maintenance, but a little care goes a long way. Keep them out of direct sunlight, away from humidity, and avoid placing them near heat sources — this helps preserve their colour and shape. There's no need for water (ever!), and a gentle dusting with a soft brush can keep them looking fresh.
What do I need to do when my flowers arrive?
When your flowers arrive, gently unpack them — all packaging is either recyclable or compostable. For bunches, you can remove the string and separate the stems. Trim away any unwanted leaves with scissors or snips. To create more shape and movement, some stems (like delphiniums) can be carefully manipulated to space out the flower heads. This is delicate work, so a few may naturally fall away in the process.
There are videos on Entu's socials to show how this is done.
What do I do when my bouquet arrives?
When your flowers arrive, gently unpack them — all packaging is recyclable or compostable. Choose a suitable vessel and, while keeping the bouquet tied, place it straight into the vase.
How long will my flowers last?
With a bit of care, your dried flowers can last for over a year. Over time, their tones may gently fade, becoming softer and more muted — part of their natural charm. Think of them as slow flowers: timeless, elegant, and ever-evolving.
How do I dispose of my dried flowers?
We’re big believers in circular living — and luckily, dried flowers return gently to the earth. Once you’re ready to part with them, simply pop them in your home compost or green waste bin. They're fully biodegradable and free from dyes or bleaches, so they’ll break down naturally. Alternatively, repurpose them in a wreath, potpourri, or a nature-inspired craft project for a little second life magic.
