How To Make A Dried Flower Wreath

In: Fall Decorating Ideas & Projects, Wreaths

As my garden winds down for the season there is still so much beauty to be had! I collected a basketful of flowers, seed pods, and greenery and I’ll show you how to make a dried flower wreath from your garden.

Making An Autumn Garden Wreath

October is such a lovely month in New Hampshire. The weather has just cooled down this week and the maples in my yard are just starting to change colors. Some of my flowers have finished blooming for the season and have started to dry out, others are just getting started like my dahlias.

With a basket and my clippers in hand, I headed outside to gather things to make a garden wreath for my front door.

I collected sunflowers, berries, strawflowers, celosia, amaranth, hydrangeas, seed pods, sage, ornamental grass plumes, and a few other things to make my wreath.

Fall flowers to make a garden wreath

For this wreath, I grabbed an old wreath form I had. To be honest I usually end up taking most of my wreaths apart and reusing the wreath forms year to year (I’ve gotta keep giving you all fresh ideas!!)

Any grapevine wreath form would work to make this wreath so don’t stress!

adding the flowers to the wreath

This dried flower wreath couldn’t be easier to put together! Simply start adding the different flowers to the wreath form by just poking them through the spaces in the grapevine.

I started with the biggest flower which was the sunflower heads, then just played around with the other flowers to see what looked best next to them,

There’s no real science to this…you can just tell when the flowers complement each other!

I loved the lilac pods that I found on one of my bushes! They had such a pretty and delicate look.

There is so much beauty even in dried flower heads! I love all the different shapes and textures. It’s such a nice remembrance of Summer days.

I am so lucky to live in a place where there’s so much natural beauty all around! Even the weeds look pretty in my dried flower wreath! The red berries I cut from an overgrown bush in the back of my yard…I was just cursing how it needed to be cut back a few weeks ago but now it produced these pretty berries.

One of my favorite flowers to grow this year was Amaranth. The plumes hanging over my white garden fence are so pretty!

My Endless Summer hydrangeas were just amazing this year! I don’t know if it was the weird weather we had in New Hampshire over the Summer or what but I’ve never had so many blooms before! I’ve done so many things with the dried hydrangeas already this Fall.

Here’s the finished wreath. I’m going to use it on my front door this Fall. I just love how all the different shapes, colors, and textures all come together!

    You made that look so easy. I tried drying sunflowers ….. sure didn’t look like yours.
    I enjoy using nature as much as possible. Dried milkweeds are my favorite.
    Thank you for sharing your creations.

      I let nature do the work for me! I left them outside and the birds did most of the work taking out all the seeds. We don’t have milkweeds around me, when I was little we had them and I loved the pods so much!

    Really pretty! I love dried hydrangeas too. They add so much to a wreath or dried flower arrangement! Your different colors of dried flowers are just beautiful!
