Dried Sage, Lavender & Sprigs of Rosemary Large Wreath

This beautiful Dried Wreath has an incredible scent, with a mix of lavender, sage and sprigs of dried Rosemary.

During the 16-17 centuries, herb bouquets would be made to mask smells and to given as tokens of love and remembrance, these were known as Nosegays, later in the Victorian Era they were called Tussie - Mussies. Deborah has adapted this into a fragrant wreath.

Scent, herbology, folklore inspire Deborah-Máire work, drawing on her ancestry & bloodlines. Using herbs, associated with healing & history.

Approximate dimensions:
Large, 65cm.

Dried Sage - Grown in the U.K. Kent & Sheffield, Yorkshire
Lavender - Yorkshire, Sussex, Kent
Rosemary - South & North Yorkshire

The flowers are air dried and the Wreath is handmade by Deborah-Máire. The wreath base will either be grape or willow or other grown wood, like Buddleia or Forsythia that has been seasoned. All sustainably sourced and handmade. The flowers are bound by wire, to prevent loosening over time that can come with hemp string.

The Dried Wreath may look slightly different to the one photographed, due to the drying process, & types of flowers, pigments can vary.

Your flowers will arrive, wrapped in acid free tissue paper & recycled brown paper used to pad out your delivery. Occasionally I will use bubble wrap which again has been recycled from previous deliveries to me.

Upon receiving your dried flowers or wreath, open carefully. Occasionally your flower bouquets will arrive a little flat from being packed in a box for postal reasons. Gently tease them apart and cut the string if you wish and arrange in a vase.

Very occasionally damage can occur in postage as dried flowers are difficult to post and are fragile. If that happens please get in touch through hello@deborahmaire.co.uk

Care: Try to keep your flowers and wreaths out of direct sunlight as the direct light can bleach pigments over time. Keep them in a dry spot, ideally away from areas that may get damp or attract condensation, like bathrooms & kitchens.

To clean your flowers gently blow on them or dust with a large clean makeup brush, as its soft bristles won’t damage your flowers. Although I would avoid using this with daisies.
