Dried Lavender

Has anyone ever used this before? I love the idea of it and I love the smell of lavender. I have found pictures of people using it as their BM bouquets in the wedding. I also LOVE that idea. My colors are navy (men) and gray (ladies) and LOTS of greenery. My bouquet will be white flowers with quite a bit of greenery.

Thoughts on my BM's using dried lavender? It is a winter wedding and it is in a church; I am afraid the dried lavender may look too "country" and not match my theme.

I have pictures of the men's tuxes and the ladies' dresses! I also have saved pictures of the bouquets if anyone wants to see it all together.

I don't think it will look too country. If anything, French country, which is not the same as rustic country.

However, how do you get the lavender to splay? From what I recall, it's very straight when dry

We are using dried lavender on our escort card table as well as in floral arrangements! I think as long as there aren't other "country" aspects of your wedding it won't look out of place.

I love lavender but before you do anything dried you should probably ask your church/priest if dried flowers are permitted. Some churches won't allow artificial or dried.

@Jenny, I actually do not plan on trying to "splay" them. I like the simplicity of them being straight.

Here are some pictures of the bouquets and pictures of the dresses my BM's ordered/are ordering! I am also considering a fur shawl since it will be February and I live in the mountains in TN!

@svetlana, very good point! I cannot use artificial, but I will double check on dried flowers.

I have dried lavender as a filler in my bouquets. I purchased it from Curious Country Creations for a decent price.

Thank you for the input! It is all cleared with the church. I may order 1 bouquet and just see how it looks with the dresses.

Now on to my next decisions - fur or no fur? Any thoughts/ideas?
