Dried Lavender Stems for Floristry and Craft
Dried lavender stems are perfect for floristry, home decor and craft year round. Lavender plants flower during the summer which is when it’s harvested at its best and dried.
You could use for these stems in one of these ways:
- Add to mixed bouquets and arrangements to add contrast in shape or form
- Make a lavender bouquet no matter the time of year
- Home decor – add a few stems to a vase or bottle
- Craft projects such as wreath making and decorative hoops
- Weddings – if you use dried flowers for your wedding then you’ll be able to keep them as a memento
Mixed bouquets
Sprigs of lavender combine well with flowers like Gypsophila, Delphiniums and grasses like Oats and Wheat.
Lavender bouquet
Lavandula stems also look beautiful unaccompanied!
Home decor
You could place a whole bunch in a vase, or just place a few stems in a group of narrow-necked bottles.
Craft projects
Cut the lavender stems short for wreath making or for decorative hoops. This makes them easier to affix to the frame.
Dried lavender stems for weddings
Top ways to use the stems for weddings:
- Wedding flowers for bride and attendants, either as a mixed bouquet as above or on its own
- Buttonholes – being a small flower the scale works well for this
- Table decorations and place settings – a few stems simply tied with ribbon or raffia look fab. You could add a name tag too
- Wedding favour – the little posy shown above could be taken home afterwards
- Hang a Lavandula bunch on chair backs
Types of Dried Lavender Stems
Lavender bunches come in two broad types which are long, straight and pale blue or short, curvy and deep blue. On this page the bouquet with the red ribbon and the heart wreath are made with the first type and all the other images are of the second.
Both types of sprigs grow in the UK, France and elsewhere.
