The Dried Collection
Exclusively dried flowers — for interesting, lasting installations.
Berengaria Botanica is our dried-flower studio, working exclusively with dried, preserved and foraged botanicals. We create interesting dried flower installations — textural wall pieces, sculptural table arrangements, seasonal wreaths and long-lasting bouquets — all designed from material that has already lived a life. No plastic, no faux stems, just real flowers and grasses dried in their own time, then arranged with the same care we give to fresh work. Every piece is quieter, more sculptural and more surprising than a conventional bouquet, and it stays beautiful long after the last fresh petal would have fallen.

Dried flowers are not second-best flowers. At Botanica they are the main event: papery seed heads, skeletal grasses, colour-softened petals, preserved leaves and delicate branches. The palette is different from fresh — muted, tonal, sepia, blush, stone and earth — and the forms are looser and more architectural. We design each piece as an installation first: how it catches light, where the shadows fall, and how it settles into a room over time.
Botanica pieces work beautifully in homes, restaurants, hotels, studios and events where something permanent but still botanical is wanted. We make suspended cloud pieces, framed wall art, cascading table runners, mantel garlands, urn displays and large-scale vases. Because every material is already dried, installations can be built, moved, stored and re-dressed without water, refrigeration or last-minute delivery pressure.
We use real, dried botanicals and foraged material — never plastic or synthetic. Many stems come from our own cuttings, the hedgerows around Hampshire and the residue of fresh flowers from the Atelier studio. We avoid floral foam, use biodegradable mechanics and re-use vessels, frames and wires. A Botanica piece is beautiful because it has been allowed to age naturally, and it can be composted at the end of its life.
Dried flowers are a wonderful choice for couples who want a relaxed, meadowy, wild or festival-style wedding. We create bridal bouquets, buttonholes, arches, aisle meadows, tablescape trails and confetti. After the day, the bouquet becomes a keepsake — hung upside down, reframed or simply left in a vase. The same approach suits brand events, workshops, gallery launches and private parties.

Materials we work with
Questions we're often asked
Yes — every stem is real, dried, preserved or foraged. We do not use faux or plastic flowers in this collection. The botanicals are dried naturally in the studio and then arranged.
With normal care, most dried pieces last a year or more. Keep them away from direct sunlight, damp and handling, and they will fade beautifully rather than deteriorate.
Absolutely. Dried flowers can be surprisingly colourful — soft pinks, mauves, sage, rust, ochre and bleached neutrals. We can also dye or paint some stems to match a specific palette.
Very much. They suit relaxed, rustic, boho and festival-style weddings, and they make excellent keepsakes after the day. We can also mix dried with fresh from Atelier if you prefer.
Yes. Because dried material is lightweight and stable, we can build large suspended pieces, wall hangings and garlands that would be impractical with fresh flowers. We install, dismantle and store where needed.
