Our Blooms
Our Briar Blooms are made from natural flowers which have been dried or preserved. Unlike fresh flowers, which have to be replaced every few days, Briar Blooms makes your own home beautiful in an ecological, long-lasting, and economic way. Best of all, our arrangements are pollen free, making them fantastic for those prone to allergies.

- This chamber has the ideal humidity, light, and temperature conditions that the plants need.
- The plants are placed in special containers that hold a specially prepared solution made from glycerine, water, stabilisers, and dyes.
- Once the product is treated, it is washed and dried over several days at a controlled temperature.
- Lastly, a selection process and a quality control check is carried out, during which any damaged leaves or petals are removed.
- The product is ready to be packed used and enjoyed for a lifetime.
