Dried flowers query

Lizzy, 14 August, 2022 at 17:37 Posted on Planning 0 3
Hi my fiancé and I are getting married May 2023. I am looking at buying the dried flowers for the bouquet and boutonnières on Etsy.
Does anyone have any idea of when the best time to buy these are? Like do I buy them now or do I wait closer to the time? To avoid them going off.
Thanks,Lizzy Smiley smile

    I would maybe message the sellers on Etsy and ask them as they will know the lifespan of the product for optimal timing, am sure they will be helpful and at least if they say to wait you will know now and one less thing to stress over

    I have dried flowers for our wedding 22nd Oct) and I've had mine for a good few months already.


    The advice I received from the lady who made mine was you can pretty much get them whenever suits you. Just make sure you keep them stored well until the big day - so mine are out of direct sunlight, in huge stacker boxes with lids on. There's always a risk of fading if they're not protected, plus I didn't want them to get dusty.
    She also recommended getting them our a day or two before the wedding and giving them time to fluff up a bit Smiley smile
    I hope that helps, and in case you're interested mine are also from etsy, a seller called Country Witch Floral who gave me the best price I found on etsy by a HUGE amount. She did me my bouquet, 2 BM bouquets and 15 buttonholes for £300, which was a good hundred less than most. And that included very carefully wrapped shipping.
