Como Dried Flower Arrangement by House of Lilac
Classic & speckled.
A speckled mud ivory ceramic column set with blue thistle, burnt orange-red nigella, and pale natural brisa salino on a wire frame. Structured where it needs to be, loose everywhere else.

The shape is set on a wire frame before any stem goes in, which is why the thistle and the nigella hold their positions instead of drifting in toward each other. Structure you never see, doing the work.
Brisa is the pale grass hung with flat little lockets. It is the lightest thing here and the only part that answers to air, which is what keeps a dried arrangement from reading as fixed in place.
One side, or every side
Front-facing is built with a back to it, so it sits against a wall on a console or a mantel and gives you its full face. The 360 is built to be read from anywhere, which is what a dining table needs.
Stone, not pottery
Heavy ceramic in a speckled mud ivory, matte on every side. It reads as river stone rather than as a vase, and it gives nothing back to a lamp or a camera.
Dried in-house
We dry the stems in-house at our Miami studio, then arrange them by hand. It is slower than buying stems already dried, and it is how the color stays in one family across every piece we make.
Nothing to keep up with
No water, no trimming, no swapping anything out on a Sunday. Dried stems hold as they are.
Care
Keep it dry. No water, ever. Water works against dried stems rather than for them.
Dust it now and then. A gentle shake outdoors, or a low hairdryer setting held at a distance. That is the whole routine.
Where it holds best. Out of direct sun and away from steam. Strong sun fades dried color over time, and bathrooms and humid rooms soften the stems.

Place bouquet in your vase before cutting tie.
Once it's secure, give the flowers a gentle fluff to settle.
Avoid water, direct sunlight, or strong air drafts
Expect a little shedding. Keep them dusted & avoid moving frequently.
