Most people see floral bouquets as fleeting objects of beauty. As romantic as the notion of fleeting beauty sounds, the beauty of a floral arrangement can actually last forever, if you choose to dry and preserve its flowers. The traditional and most effective way to dry flowers is to gather and tie their stems to hang them upside down in a location out of the direct sunlight. This method is the best way to preserve a bouquet's colors and shape. Unfortunately, it can take several days for flowers to dry using this method — even in Prescott's relatively dry air. If you'd rather have your flowers dried and displayed quickly, you can use any of the following methods recommended by our experts at Allan's Flowers.

In some cases, like with the use of holly to decorate, the meaning has changed over time. Prior to the Christmas traditions we associate with it today, holly was used in ancient Celtic, pagan, Roman and Druid ceremonies and mythology. With such rich traditions behind this unassuming plant, the floral experts at Allan’s Flowers decided to spend some time discussing holly, its meaning and how to include it in your decorating as you prepare for the holidays this winter.
