Collection: Preserved & Dried Flowers

Preserved flowers are real flowers and foliage that have been specially treated to help maintain their natural appearance, shape and softness for much longer than fresh flowers. Unlike artificial flowers, preserved flowers are made from genuine plant material. They also differ from traditionally dried flowers, which are dehydrated to remove moisture and generally develop a firmer, more textured finish.

At Koch & Co, explore a versatile range of preserved flowers, foliage and natural botanical elements for creating bouquets, floral designs, event installations and dried flower arrangements. With a variety of colours, textures and shapes available, preserved flowers make it easy to create long-lasting floral designs for weddings, events, retail displays, gifts and home décor.

Preserved Flowers for Bouquets & Arrangements

A preserved flower can bring the natural character of fresh botanicals to an arrangement while offering greater flexibility for designs that need to be prepared ahead of time or displayed for longer.

Our collection includes preserved hydrangeas, baby's breath, eucalyptus, bunny tails, statice, amaranthus and other botanical varieties, alongside natural foliage and decorative leaves. Use individual stems and bunches to create preserved flower bouquets, centrepieces, installations or mixed dried flower arrangements with different heights, colours and textures.

Preserved and dried botanicals can be styled on their own or combined together to create anything from soft, minimal arrangements to textured statement displays.

What is a preserved flower?

A preserved flower is a real flower that has been specially treated to help maintain its natural appearance, shape and softness for much longer than a fresh flower. Preserved flowers are made from genuine plant material, unlike artificial flowers, which are manufactured from synthetic or other non-living materials.

Preserved flowers also differ from dried flowers. Dried flowers are dehydrated to remove moisture, which generally gives them a firmer and more textured finish. Preserved flowers are treated differently to help retain more of the softness and appearance associated with fresh flowers. Both can be used in bouquets, displays and dried flower arrangements, depending on the look and texture you want to achieve.

Do preserved flowers last forever?

No. Preserved flowers do not last forever, but they can maintain their appearance for much longer than fresh flowers when cared for correctly. Their lifespan can vary depending on the type of preserved flower, storage conditions and how they are handled.

To help preserved flowers last longer, keep them indoors in a dry environment and away from excess moisture, direct sunlight and high humidity. Avoid watering preserved flowers and handle delicate petals and foliage carefully, as natural plant material can become damaged over time.
