# What They DO (and AVOID) When Drying Flowers Like a Pro Drying flowers can transform a beautiful bouquet into a timeless keepsake—perfect for wreaths, arrangements, or home décor. While many attempt to dry blooms at home, few master the technique like true flower-drying experts. Whether you’re creating craft projects, preserving garden harvests, or arranging dried floral bouquets, understanding what they DO and AVOID when drying flowers is key to achieving professional, long-lasting results. ## What They DO When Drying Flowers Like a Pro ### 1. Select the Right Flowers
Professional flower dryers carefully choose blooms depending on texture, thickness, and airflow needs. Tie common air-drying flowers like lavender, baby’s breath, and statice in small bundles with thick string or twine. Avoid overly juicy blooms such as roses or hydrangeas unless using specialized methods—most prefer thinner, sturdy petals that dry evenly.
