Introducing these stunning dried-flower vases from designer Shannon Clegg, which are handcrafted into beautifully sculpted vases using actual flowers. These beautiful vases double as fine-art dried-flower sculptures and they’re handmade in London out of lovely hydrangeas, ferns, roses and a broad range of other dried flowers and botanicals.

Each handcrafted dried-flower vase looks a little different from the next, depending on the types of flowers used and the specifics of each individual commission. If you want a specific flower or plant, you’re likely to be able to find it among Clegg’s humongous list of past works. The tops of the vases made out of dried flowers include the amazing dried flowers, pressed into a perfect shape with a conical opening to debut your fresh bouquet.

These beautiful dried-flower vases are super unique, and they include openings at the base where the stems of the dried flowers won’t fully cover up the stems of your bouquet. For most of her vase designs, the stems below the dried flowers themselves give an almost basket-like appearance, offering a balance of organic textures and firm durability to keep your bouquets upright.

Clegg’s dried-flower vases are all individually commissioned items, so she takes time to talk with each buyer to help them actualize their visions. The four-step process begins with prospective buyers booking a consultation with her either via zoom or phone, in order to pick out flower types, sizes, colors, or any other customization options you want.

Next, buyers will make a deposit for the first 50 percent of payment, while the other half of payment will be due upon Clegg’s completion of your commission. Upon receipt of the initial deposit, Clegg says she has a lead time of about six weeks, though this time can sometimes be shorter. Lastly, upon completion Clegg will contact buyers to arrange delivery or pickup plans, at which point you can prepare to receive your handmade dried-flower vase.
