10 Best Dried Flower Arrangements From Shops That Deliver

Dried flower arrangements make a sweet statement all year long. Don’t box them into the same “special occasions” box as wedding bouquets or Valentine’s Day buds—their rustic quality and stunning texture make them an especially lovely accent for every season. Need some proof? We scoured the market for contemporary florists innovating on the tried and true. From filler wildflowers and thistles to centerpieces for your living room and options with ceramic vases, these dried floral arrangements are just as beautiful as fresh flowers and don’t require going faux. Though like fabric florals, dried arrangements are virtually maintenance-free: Simply pop them in a favorite vessel and admire them for months (or even years) to come. And no matter your home-decor style or color preferences, you’re bound to find a dried flower bouquet (or two) that suits your aesthetic.

Not feeling the full floral arrangement? That’s okay too—we’re also sharing some of our favorite long-lasting individual stems and branches so you can curate to your heart’s content. Check out some of the best blooms to keep on display from shops and floral designers that offer flower delivery.

The Bouqs Co. may be most well known for its massive selection of fresh floral bouquets, but don’t sleep on the preserved flowers. With two vase options for every arrangement, there may not be many choices, but each one is evergreen in both an obvious and stylish way. Plus, none of the beautiful bouquets scream “seasonal,” meaning you can keep them on display as the holidays roll by. Prices start at under $100 for all of the preserved bouquets, though if you sign up to become a member, you’ll receive a 30 percent discount.

Amazon doesn’t disappoint when it comes to budget-friendly dried flower options. The quality will vary, as will the level of arrangement, but fine-tuning the branches and stems to fit your own space is all part of the fun. From hydrangeas and strawflowers to pampas grass and thistles, you can find just about any floral variety here.

Afloral is chock-full of dried flowers and grasses in different shapes, sizes, textures, and colors. Whether you wish to buy à la carte and create your own bouquet or prefer to order an affordable premade bunch wrapped in festive kraft paper, you can’t go wrong. And if you’re a holiday-decor lover, the special selection of holiday-specific decor might inspire you to go all out for the winter season: Think wreaths and garlands galore, all of which feel classic, not cheesy.

Terrain is always one of our go-to stops for chic home and garden decor. While we could honestly spend hours pursuing the retailer’s thousands of offerings for all parts of the home, we’ll note that the dried bunches and stems do not disappoint. Whether your style leans subdued, colorful, or a bit boho, there truly are options for everyone. Terrain also offers branches that make a statement on their own or make a nice addition to any bouquet.

Etsy also delivers in the fall florals department. A simple search for pampas grass alone returns mind-boggling results, with stems that appear almost as tall as a full-grown adult (and could come in handy as room dividers). Since dried florals obviously don’t require water, we’ve found they look best in vases that aren’t see-through.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Anthropologie—owned by Urbn, the parent company of Terrain and Urban Outfitters—also offers a selection of Instagrammable bundles. The dried flower arrangements lean into contrasting shapes and muted but distinctive colors.

Bouquets coming from House of Lilac are artful, blending pops of color and neutral fillers seamlessly in a beautiful mess of texture.  Instead of choosing from particular flowers, there are a number of color palettes available for each option, making the enormous choice for designing much easier. We’re partial to the bud vase arrangements, since you don’t often see thoughtfully arranged branches for such small vessels.

Whether you’re looking for individual bunches of specific flowers or a burst of color in the form of a mixed dried bouquet, Idlewild Floral delivers. The bunches from this brand are particularly great for budding floral enthusiasts. We recommend buying a little of everything and setting up your own arrangement space at home.

For the neutral lover in your life, we recommend The Logan, a monochrome, primarily white bouquet from UrbanStems that comes with a corresponding matte vase. The arrangement arrives packaged in a festive cardboard box that mimics traditional bouquet deliveries, making it the perfect birthday or pick-me-up gift for a loved one. If your recipient prefers color, the pink-filled Claire is also an excellent option.

Bloomist offers striking dried floral bunches as well as accents—including dried grasses and more. For a festive fall touch that isn’t too precious, we’re particularly drawn to the crisp yellow of their dried natural yarrow. Pop them into a vessel with other dried stems or mix in some real eucalyptus for a calming look (and a bonus fresh fragrance).

More go-tos

Don’t forget to check your local florist for inspiring options when you’re sourcing your next bouquet. While their delivery zones might be smaller, they’re likely to stock the most unique dried stems that are available in your area. We love the offerings at Saint Flora in the Bay Area and Oat Cinnamon and Pop Up Florist for innovative dried arrangements in NYC. For those based in Los Angeles, don’t miss out on the opportunity to work with Bloom & Plume on something extra special.

If you’re on a budget, craft stores are also filled with all kinds of supplies for dried flower arrangements this time of year. Plus, you may enjoy grouping together a few stems from various retailers to put together a unique bouquet or to complement some of the offerings featured above. That said, we’re not opposed to spending a little extra up front for preserved blooms that will stand the test of time.
