They last for years.

Just keep them out of harsh, direct sunlight.

Our oldest test tube and bell jar pieces over 3 years old, made specifically for our very own wedding.

Dried flowers have even been found in Egyptian tombs, although I wouldn't expect those to look as good as ours!

Not if they're kept out of harsh, direct sunlight.

We've spent years experimenting to find the flowers that dry best and hold their colour, and we choose our varieties with that in mind.

Some orange flowers do fade naturally to a soft cream over time.

If you'd like to see a flower's final tone, get in touch and we'll send a photo.

No water needed. Dried flowers are low maintenance, so just keep them out of harsh, direct sunlight and they'll stay looking their best.

We pick flowers fresh from our own patch in the mornings or late evenings, and gather more from our supportive community of local gardeners, who trade us bunches for finished pieces.

Then we hang them all to dry.

Once fully dry, we spray them with our top secret preserver to help hold colour and shape.

You can watch the process on our Instagram.

Every piece is designed and handmade by us in Melbourne.

We grow most of our flowers, trade with our community of gardeners for the rest, and make our timber bases ourselves.

We choose our glass suppliers with ethical practices in mind, so if you're a glassblower, we'd love to collaborate. Get in touch!

They're tougher than they look!

The flowers are more robust than you'd expect, and our timber and brass bases are built to cope with bumps.

We've chosen packaging specifically for each product, so every piece makes it to you safe and sound.
