When the summer’s end arrives, it always feels a bit sad to say goodbye to the fresh flowers and greenery that’s abundant in the warm months. But fall makes up for it quickly with the season’s signature kaleidoscope palette of golds, reds, and oranges. And just because the fresh plants are waning doesn’t mean you have to put away all the floral decor, either. There are lots of incredibly beautiful dried and preserved flower bouquets, wreathes and garlands that are anything but the fussy flowers of your grandmother’s era. Some of our favorite modern takes on dried flowers come from green & garden retailer, Terrain. Scoop one of these five dried flower arrangements for fall and your space will get an instant autumn upgrade.
For an autumnal palette:
Preserved Millet, Phalaris, Strawflower Bouquet, $60
Fall’s rich hues are beloved for a reason, and this sunset-toned bouquet leans into the season in all the best ways. Add some autumn color to your space with this one, which is created using dried millet, phalaris, strawflower, miscanthus, amaranth, pampas and bunny tails for a beautifully layered look.
For lush green hues + lots of texture:
Emerald Jewel Preserved Bouquet, $78
Love the vibrancy of jewel tones? This bouquet is for you. Made of boxwood, sweet anne, textural flax, quail brush twigs, and preserved basil salal, this hand-made organic creation gives lush emerald hues and plenty of rich texture. It’s all hand-crafted by a women-led team in Washington State.
For a lush boho look on your door:
Bohemia Sunset Asymmetrical Wreath, $68
This beautiful wreath feels modern and fresh with its asymmetrical design and bold blend of colorful silver dollar eucalyptus, dried daisies, oats, safflower blooms, and orange strawflowers. Plus: This creation is hand-crafted from seasonal dried flowers grown on an independent farm.
For minimalist architectural vibes:
Bleached Hanging Amaranthus Bunch, $58
If your autumnal vibe is less orange and red harvest hues and more minimalist earthy, try going for a single dried floral variety in an otherworldly shape. These bleached white amaranthus stems create a sculptural, dramatic look when placed in a cool vase, but still give the fall warmth of dried blooms. (These spiraling ladder branches are another amazing architectural choice!)
For dramatic textural draping:
Preserved Helichrysum Garland, $34
Great for adding texture to a fireplace mantel, entry table and more. This dried garland features preserved helichrysum flowers in a neutral hue that goes with any decor. Try pairing with other textural garlands, like this gilded iron oak and acorn version.
