Buy dried cottage garden bunches for floral arrangements. Cottage garden flowers make lovely informal wedding flowers. Rustic, boho and country styles all have a messy element perfect for cottage garden flowers. Many of this type of flower stem are perfect for drying - think roses, delphiniums, lavender, clover and various daisies intermingled with airy grasses. Traditional dried flower varieties like statice and helichrysum come in a variety of colours and fit in well with the cottage garden style. We also recommend sticking with natural flowers rather than bleached or dyed. We dry some of this type of flower in our own Sussex workshop.
