Dried Flower Hoop – Honesty and Gold

Pearly honesty, soft neutrals and a touch of gold. Pure, quiet loveliness.

Honesty is one of my very favourite things to grow. Once the flowers fade, it leaves behind these papery, moon-like seed pods that shimmer like mother of pearl when the light catches them. I pick them at the end of summer and dry them alongside the rest of our surplus stems, so they can come together in pieces like this one.

Everything is grown slowly and in season on our family farm near Dorchester. In this crescent, armfuls of honesty sit among creamy and pale lilac statice, clouds of gypsophila, dusky limonium, tiny dried roses, little button seed heads and soft white pompoms. It's all set on a slim gold hoop and finished with a trail of hand-frayed ivory ribbon.

The colours are so gentle and natural that it sits happily in any room, all year round. It's lovely in a bedroom, hallway or living room, or on a sheltered front door. It makes a beautiful wedding, anniversary or new home gift too.

The details

- Handmade by us on a gold metal hoop, approx. 30cm across
- Pearly whites, creams, soft lilac and warm browns, with an ivory ribbon
- Every hoop is a one-off, so the flowers will vary slightly from the photos, but it'll be just as beautiful

Caring for your hoop

These are beautiful but delicate (especially the honesty!), so please handle with care. Dried flowers like to stay dry, so keep your hoop indoors (or in a well-sheltered porch) and out of reach of children and pets. If it needs a dust one day, a hair dryer on a cool, low setting does the trick. With a little care, it should bring you joy for years.
