I love decorating with dried leaves , branches and flowers. One of our walls is decorated this way.
My asparagus fern was bitten at the roots by a rodent a year ago. I decided to make the best use of the fern which grows like a vine, to decorate one of our walls . I combined the fern with some dried flowers, actually seed pods of another vine which looks like wooden roses for this arrangement.
I love the golden brown look of the fern which is so fragile and the solid wood look of the rose. I also pick seed pods of crepe myrtle which looks like a bunch of flowers and dried leaves of evergreens to make my dry flower arrangements.
I also use star grass and grass flowers which I pick on my outings when I go out of the city. I also preserve roses to enhance the decor.

This is beautiful. I used to love dry flower arrangements and I had preserved some roses myself, but I broke most of them while cleaning.
That happens, as these tend to gather a lot of dust.
It is a beautiful decoration. I have something similar in my apartment.
I love these ,would love to see yours too.
I hang my roses etc upside down for days and dry them out.
I do that after dipping them in a solution of glycerin.
I do the same Dawn. I have saved many roses over the years.
They mean a lot if they are gifts from loved ones.
