As you say Jennifer, probably just changing trends. However, your post has inspired me and I will start again as they look so lovely in your post. Looking forward to your next post on drying roses as I have never done that.Hoehoegrowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00745640711509233722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7116278351699614429.post-29951556598415735582014-10-20T15:09:28.155-07:002014-10-20T15:09:28.155-07:00What a beautiful arrangement! :) My mom still does...What a beautiful arrangement! :) My mom still does it, and I love finding a vase of beautifully dried flowers (usually roses) waiting for me in my "old" room when I go back to Italy.<br />Have a lovely new week!

Your dried flower bouquet is so sweet and delicate. I don't know why the craze disappeared either, but there were some amazing arrangements you could find at craft fairs for a few years there.

In the late 80's and early 90's I did large weddings in drieds.
