Dried Flower Arrangements
Finding materials to make a dried flower arrangement was easier 10 years ago. In my conversations with Dutch natives Harry and John Zijl who grew up in the Holland dried flower business confirm that imports have decreased. Their USA import/wholesale dried flower business survives and thrives in the economic storm focusing on few niche products.
The popularity of dried flowers has not gone away, even though the number of suppliers dwindled down . You got to find the right source. Today there are new fresh loooking preserved flowers which are for now a best kept secret. It has to be since there would not be enough for all.

I digged into my old flower pictures album to share the dried flower arrangements, dried flower wreaths and dried floral bouquets we created back in the 1990s.
Our floral designs became popular. A dream started in a small one bedroom apartment, but grew to employ 30 people and sold a million dollars in two years under our original "Flower Dreams" label.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy.

I do quite a few custom order arrangements for clients and use also preserved flowers and foliages which I love.
