Dried Flowers vs Preserved Flowers
Dried flowers are obtained through natural drying processes (air, ovens, or controlled dehydration). The flower loses its water content and takes on a more matte, rustic, and textured appearance.
Key characteristics:
- Softer, more natural colors
- Firmer and delicate texture
- Handcrafted aesthetic, with a warm “home decor” effect
Preserved flowers are real fresh flowers treated with a plant-based solution (glycerin) that replaces the plant’s natural water.
They remain soft, flexible, and incredibly lifelike.
Key characteristics:
- Intense, vibrant colors
- Soft, natural touch
- Premium look, perfect for elegant decorations

Preserved flowers maintain their best qualities in environments with humidity levels between 40% and 60%. Higher humidity levels (above 60%) may cause color bleeding, which could transfer to nearby surfaces.
To ensure proper preservation, it is recommended to keep the flowers in a dry environment and avoid direct contact with non-porous surfaces, where any color traces may be more noticeable.
Choose dried flowers if:
Dried flowers are ideal for those who appreciate a more natural, textured, and handcrafted style. They have an authentic and slightly rustic charm, with softer tones and a highly versatile decorative character. They are a more affordable option and allow you to create arrangements that convey warmth, simplicity, and a touch of sophistication.
It is important to remember that, like all treated natural flowers, they are not suitable for outdoor use.
Choose preserved flowers if:
Preserved flowers, on the other hand, are the perfect choice for those who want a look closer to fresh flowers. They remain soft to the touch, retain their shape over time, and offer a more intense and sophisticated aesthetic. They are designed for those seeking a more elegant appearance and longer-lasting results, with rich colors and a consistently flawless look.
Even in this case, these are still treated natural flowers and are not suitable for outdoor use.
Our flowers are natural, and for this reason, they retain the characteristics of the plant, including their natural scent, if present. Some varieties may have a stronger or more distinctive fragrance, which is not a defect but rather a unique feature of the flower itself.
