Drying flowers has always seemed complicated in my experience. You have to buy silica gel, and follow specific measures in order to dry blooms.
There are, however, several kinds of flowers that dry up well with little trouble. Bringing real flowers indoors to set in a vase, teapot, or any container really dresses up a room. In Fall, when gardens begin to fade, you can keep your flowers much more time by drying them. They might not be as lush or fragrant like a fresh bouquet, but stand in as the next most convenient thing.
Roses, too, can be very attractive why they've dried out. Buds that are just starting to open, or tight buds will dry out best. Roses can be left on their stems and hung inverted in a dark, dry place. You can also snip off the flowers and set them to dry on the rack, and in a dark, dry spot. These stemless roses will appear very pretty packed together inside a shallow bowl and retain their color for a month or two. You may also wire them with florists' wire and add these to a wreath. Dry roses also make pretty inclusions in a winter boutonniere or corsage.
Hydrangeas are lovely flowers, and each stem appears to hold an entire bouquet. Furthermore they last long on the shrub, but could look absolutely beautiful even as they fade. Wait until your hydrangea blooms start to lose their luster and dry up a bit on the plant. The faded blooms will not be the same color as the original fresh bloom, but somewhat turned into softer shades.
Cut a long stem and set into a dry vase (without water). The muted colors possess a soft, vintage look that will last over a month. You can hang them upside down if you want the stems and flowers to be really straight, nevertheless the flopping practice of older hydrangeas features its own appeal. A mass of dried mop-head, or French hydrangeas posseses an old-fashioned appeal that softens the look of a room.
