Idlewild Co. Field Bouquet

No, these are naturally dried botanicals and should never be placed in water. Adding water will cause the stems to rot and ruin the arrangement.

Because these botanicals are preserved through a drying process, they are designed to last for many seasons. To keep them looking their best, display them away from direct sunlight and excessive humidity, which can cause fading or brittleness over time.

Given the bouquet's dimensions of 12 inches in height and 6 inches in width, a small-to-medium bud vase or a pitcher with a narrow neck works best. You want a vessel that supports the stems so they stay upright and contained.

Dried flowers are delicate by nature, so some minor shedding is normal, especially when you first unwrap them. Once placed in a vase and left undisturbed, they will hold their shape and structure well.

We recommend keeping this arrangement indoors. Outdoor elements like wind, rain, and direct sun will significantly accelerate the degradation of the dried stems and cause the colors to fade rapidly.
