At the beginning of last growing season, a woman asked me if she could buy buckets of fresh flowers that were dry-able. She was going to take the fresh flowers home, dry them, and then arrange them for her daughter's wedding in the fall. I had not done much with dried flowers, so I was looking forward to seeing what she would come up with. She came out, walked the field with me, and told me what colors and flowers she was interested in. Beginning with larkspur and ending with broomcorn, I provided buckets of flowers (and rye) whenever they were available and she set to work drying them.
It was nice having feedback about how they dried, which flowers worked well, and which ones were a pain to deal with. Recently, she emailed me some pictures of her arrangements. Wow! She had an amazing vision to begin with, and did such an excellent job executing it! I had not given much thought to dried flowers, let alone dried flower weddings, until this opportunity came. It was a fantastic and beautiful idea, and I would love to be a part of another one again.
