Many people are very careful when it comes to flower arrangements at home. They like to make it carefully and with taste. They will also put many efforts to match the colors of the furniture, curtains and everything else in the room with the flowers they have picked.The only disadvantage of a live flower arrangement is that the time for their beauty is very limited. No matter how good preserving solution you will add, how airy and sunny the room is, at some point the arrangement or the bouquet will fade and you will have to throw it.

In case you want to make a flower arrangement special and enjoy it for longer, the advice you have to take is to use dried flowers for it.  Thus when you make a really unique arrangement you will be able to see it for significantly longer time and will not be sad when you have to put it in the garbage which will finally happen when it is made of real flowers.

There are few easy tips that will help for the home flower arrangement. The first thing you have to consider is the platform on which you will put your flower creation. According to the occasion and the rest of the decoration you have to decide weather to put the dried flowers in a special vessel or mix it with the surrounding. In case you are making arrangement for first time and you have no idea what shape to follow you can use the ikebana logics. No matter what shape and logic you will choose you have to keep in mind that it has to be simple with few objects and much space left free.

Pay special attention to the balance of the vessel you are going to choose. If it is possible match the pot or the vase with the colors of the flowers and the rest of the decoration. The terracotta color is one very good suggestion that looks natural and at the same time neutral. Thus it will mix nicely with most of the colors.

When you start to arrange the dried flowers on the foam you have already put in the pot or vase, you can start to put a flower one by one on it. Keep all the flowers in your hand so you will have a look at all flowers at every step of the arranging. Do not push the stems too hard on the foam because they usually are very fragile. Once you have put it in the foam, fix them as you squeeze it towards the stem of each flower. Put the heaviest flowers and go to the lighter until they are all finished. Remember that three big and heavy stems are absolutely enough. More than that will be too much. Add fullness to the arrangement as you put small flowers, sticks and any other decorations you have already prepared for the occasion.The biggest adventure of a dried flower home arrangement and the very similar ikebana style is that the shapes are unique. They usually look very good at creating shadows on the wall. Keep that in mind and if possible put them close to a lamp. Using the day light is also good idea and it will even create more beautiful shapes on the wall.
