Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to water my dried flower arrangements?

The beauty of dried flowers is they do not require any water. 

How long will my dried flower arrangements last?

Dried flowers have a general shelf life of 1-5 years. Looked after in the right way, they can last longer however, the colour/s will fade. Some florals may age quicker than others. Their appearance & longevity will be very dependant on environmental conditions and how they are handled.

We would be thrilled to make a bespoke arrangement just for you! See the custom order page and email us hello@fernandme.com.au

Why are dried flowers so expensive?

Flower drying and preservation is a tedious, long and expensive process. Once they are cut fresh, they are then treated and stored to make sure the process is successful. The flowers are first harvested and then carefully selected, following a two weeks drying or preserving process which uses high grade non-toxic, cosmetic grade chemicals. This can take weeks which adds to labour and keep. Things like mould and discolouration and damage can ruin a product if not done correctly. Also good to note that dried flowers last for years and years and don't die quickly like fresh blooms. Your dried flower arrangements will be with you a long time!

Do your arrangements come in with a pot / vase?

The majority of our flowers come pre arranged either in a vase or a pot. Fern + Me understand that you may already have a vase (and some flair) and you would like to arrange your flowers yourself. As an alternative to a pre-made vase or potted arrangement we also sell bunches of dried/preserved florals. Please email on hello@fernandme.com.au if you would like something customised to your needs.
