Surprise mum for Mother's Day with these dried floral bouquets, which require little to no maintenance

Mother’s Day is fast approaching, and that means it’s almost time to shower one of the most important women in your life with some extra love and TLC. Fresh blooms are often a go-to for many; but gorgeous as they might be, these flowers often rarely withstand the test of time.  

If you’re looking for something more everlasting, turn to dried or preserved flowers. These alternative blooms are not only low-maintenance and long-lasting, but are also still able to add life to your home with no less vibrancy as compared to fresh flowers.

Whether you opt for a sculptural arrangement of dried flowers or a realistic bouquet of preserved flowers that’ll last for years on end, these long-lasting blooms can serve as a symbol of everlasting love.
