Dried-flower arrangements make a sweet statement all year long. Their rustic quality and stunning texture make them an especially lovely accent for the fall, and we scoured the market for contemporary florists innovating on the tried and true. These florals are just as beautiful as their fresh counterparts and don’t require going faux, but are virtually maintenance-free–simply pop them in a favorite vessel and admire them for months, or even years, to come. And no matter your style or color preferences, you’re bound to find a bouquet (or two) that suits your aesthetic. Not feeling the full floral arrangement? That’s okay too—we’re also sharing some of our favorite individual stems and branches so you can curate to your heart’s content. Check out some of the best blooms to keep on display this time of year.
Afloral
Afloral is chock-full of dried flowers and grasses in all different shapes, sizes, textures, and colors. Whether you wish to buy a la carte and create your own bouquet or prefer to order an affordable premade bunch wrapped in festive kraft paper, you can’t go wrong. And if you’re a holiday-decor lover, the special selection of holiday-specific decor might inspire you to go all out for the winter season: think wreaths and garlands galore, all of which are nice and classic, not cheesy.
Terrain
Terrain is always one of our go-to stops for chic home and garden decor. While we could honestly spend hours pursuing the retailer’s thousands of offerings for all parts of the home, we’ll note that the dried bunches and stems do not disappoint. Whether your style leans subdued, colorful, or a bit boho, there’s truly options for everyone. Terrain also offers branches that make a statement on their own but also would add intrigue to any bouquet.
Etsy
Etsy also does not disappoint in the fall florals department. A simple search for pampas grass alone returns mind-boggling results, with stems that appear almost as tall as a full-grown adult (and could come in handy as room dividers). And if you’re taking major stock of your vase collection while you’re browsing, options abound, including this affordable concrete option, which is on trend yet simple enough to blend with a number of decorating styles. Since dried florals obviously don’t require water, we’ve found they look best in vases that aren’t see-through.
Urban Stems
For the neutral-lover in your life, we recommend The Logan, a monochrome, primarily white bouquet from Urban Stems that comes with a corresponding matte vase. The arrangement arrives packaged in a festive cardboard box that mimics traditional bouquet deliveries, making it the perfect birthday or pick-me-up gift for a loved one during quarantine and beyond. If your recipient prefers color, the pink-filled The Claire is also an excellent option and will brighten up a space in seconds. No matter which color combo you choose, Urban Stems’ offerings are a great choice for gifting due to their presentation and the fact that there’s absolutely zero styling time required.

Bloomist
Bloomist offers striking dried-floral bunches as well as accents including Spanish moss, dried grasses, and more. For a festive fall touch that isn’t too precious, we’re particularly drawn to the crisp yellow of their dried natural yarrow. Pop them into a vessel with other dried stems or mix in some real eucalyptus for a calming look and a bonus fresh fragrance.
Anthropologie
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Anthropologie—owned by URBN, the parent company of Terrain and Urban Outfitters—also offers a selection of Instagrammable bundles. The dried-flower arrangements lean into contrasting shapes and muted but distinctive colors.
More go-tos
Don’t forget to check your local florist for inspiring options when you’re sourcing your next bouquet. While their delivery zones might be smaller, they’re likely to stock the most unique dried stems that are available in your area. We love the offerings at Saint Flora in the Bay Area and Oat Cinnamon and Pop Up Florist for innovative dried arrangements in NYC.
If you’re on a budget, craft stores are also filled with all kinds of supplies for dried-flower arrangements this time of year, as well as the supplies you might need to go your own. Plus, you may enjoy grouping together a few stems from various retailers to put together a unique bouquet or to complement some of the offerings featured above. That said, we’re not opposed to spending a little extra up front for preserved blooms that will stand the test of time.
