Will DRIED FLOWERS Sell??? At Our First Christmas Farmers Market 

Only my opinion the wreaths just needed a ribbon so they can stand out or even a couple of baubles. Loved your dried flower ornaments very pretty Lia,s Xmas cards are a triumph Red roof family farm could start an Etsy shop.

The wreaths need some pizzazz. Ribbons, berries, lambs ear, more kinds of evergreens like holly, cypress, spruce etc. Some other designers used crabapple. To sell, the wreaths need to look outstanding. I'm only critical because I want you to make money after all your work. Lia is your new star!

I thought FOR SURE you were going to make some wreaths with the bright cheerful colored flowers!! I know those are not traditional Christmas colors, but hey, you are Queen of non-traditional, right! Oh - how about a Chanukah wreath? All blue & white! The timing is a bit late, but I think Jewish people would still buy them! (And yes, some Jewish people DO peruse Christmas markets! Really, they do.) And Christmas people do the blue themed Christmas trees too, so there's that. And then there's an all Red wreath with just a touch of evergreen greens behind them... ! Oh! A Red & White wreath! And- SO MANY MOOORE!!! Go ahead & make the all Pink wreaths! Moms of Little girls will buy that as a gift for their bedroom decor! The all Pink wreaths will sell for Valentines Day IF they don't sell at Christmas. Plus, by then, you've already made them, so they're kinda like easy $$$ in February! At a Christmas market I would buy a "Springtime" wreath with all the cheerful Springtime colors like bright yellow, bright oranges, all the pinks, all the blues,(I really like the blues!) & purples (Don't forget the purples!). - and then I'd save it for AFTER the holidays! What a great way to brighten up those gloomy, grey, days ahead!! I prolly wouldn't want any of the russets, golds, & browns in that wreath tho... I cannot get the glorious sight of all that Larkspur we saw in the box!! A wreath of JUST Larkspur, (mixed colors) which is put together in the same fashion as a wheat wreath - OMG!!! SOOOO FABULOUS!!! Oh! Do you have enough Eucalyptus do do a whole wreath of THAT?!! Bcuz I think people would like THAT!! Plus, it smells good too, so that's a bonus. Here's a question: What Christmas present do you buy a teenage girl who has gone goth?? Answer- Black fingernail polish, AND A Black & White wreath!! New wreath idea- For this idea, you'll have to buy the wreath base, unless you've already got a grapevine, and what a great excuse to grow grapes this next year! Ok - Here's the idea: Those little, mini, grapevine wreaths- decorate with the flower heads, add a tiny bow, and hang those on the tree! Wow. That's a lot of ideas! I didn't realize all that was hiding inside me!! Now I just need to make a wreath emoji and I'm all set!! ❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤💚❤

Christmas ornaments with dried flowers . Excellent idea!!. You can make gifts and center pieces for weddings, birthdays and valentines day. With heart shaped clear molds filled with flowers. Also the ones that you dried in Silica makes for great gift idea. You can make an online store and ship out. We are all rooting for your business to grow. God bless

Don't give up on wreaths! Try adding some red strawflowers or white statice to some of them. We sold dried flower wreaths (no evergreens) back in the 90s (I know, I'm old) for $40, and now the same size and style we sold then sell for $100-$150. It is labor intensive, but this time of year maybe that's okay.

I believe they come in heart shaped as well and they look beautiful when they’re filled with dried flowers… you can actually get a marker or paint that comes out of the fine tip paint and write things like …faith, love, hope, blessing, scriptures, Merry Christmas etc. I told you before that I had a dried flower business… little tiny swags make very good Christmas gifts… you can add three eucalyptus branches to the left and the right use some sweet Annie use floral wire and tie it in the middle of it… add dried flowers like larkspur with hot glue gun and other flowers… put a little bow in the middle and you got like a $25 swag. Open up a paper clip and hook it in the back of the swag and you hang it on the wall or your booth. My other things that I added into Christmas wreaths… I had a dehydrator so I will dry a lot of apple and orange slices use them with dry pomegranates and cinnamon sticks with a festive plaid red bow. I would also use fresh holly

The ornaments are beautiful! I would send a sampler to GARDEN ANSWER, maybe Laura will add them to her natural tree, and give you a shout out😍 Lia is so cute, and learning about the business young will shape her to be an awesome entrepreneur 💖

Grat job, even though it didn't sell, it was a great idea and a great attempt into expanding your sales, maybe they didn't sell because by December people tend to already have their ornaments in place. I was thinking that maybe next year in September or at the begining of October you could sell Autumn theme dried flowers wreaths, you can even include some small pumpkins in them, and people could buy them for their Autumn and Thanksgiving decorations. You already have the flowers dried, so maybe that could be another extra element to your stand. I love your creativity and your enthusiasm, keep at it.

I use the clear ornaments in my business as well. I’m a pet groomer, for a Christmas gift I put a lock of the pets hair in it. Then with a paint pen, I put their name and the year on it.

What about one of the ornaments filled with the dried red chili peppers 🌶

The transparent Christmas decorations look amazing!

Everything was just lovely! I can't believe how gorgeous those kale flowers are. I had no idea! And those ornaments were such a great idea. Lia is becoming quite the little entrepreneur! I'm glad she had success in her business venture.

What about adding a small ribbon to the ornaments in a similar color? More work, but more perceived value? Also, could you make a display with the ornaments hanging on a Christmas tree to show off how pretty they are?

I grew dried flowers and sold them at a Farmer’s Market for 10 years. Your flowers are amazing. Incredible efforts you have taken. If you’d like any flower arranging tips let me know. It’s an extremely time consuming talent and took me years to actually end up with sellable items. We sold from Sept thru to Valentine’s Day. I used to say we “can’t compete with Spring and Summer Gardens!

I love the ornaments. You could even go as far as adding a logo tag. Yes your mom is right about the color theme. Many people stick with a color theme for their Christmas trees. Keep up the great ideas.

If you could add some ornaments, bows and pine cones to the wreath it will attract more customers to buy. Good luck 👍

I think the ornaments are great because you don't have to worry about dust settling on the dried flowers. I really like the mixed larkspur ones.

I like the plastic ornaments, maybe you can find other seasonally themed containers or something else that is just decorative for all year? And who knew Kale flowers were sooooo Pretty !!!!!!!

Everything was beautiful!! The ornaments are gorgeous. I would definitely order them on line if They were available.

Maybe offer a free ornament with a wreath. Everybody loves a gift.

Add some of those beautiful ornaments to your wreaths

Workshop Idea: Make your own dried flower bouquet - have you hosted activities on your farm? I love watching and learning with you from Texas. I am in on the dried flower ornaments

It was a blessing that it was dry and you could pick what you needed. Those flower bulbs are amazing, I'm sure they'll sell great online!

The petal-filled ornaments are sweet. I think they might be nice hanging in a window at any time of the year.

Thank you! Now I'm inspired to dry flowers from my (small) home garden and make myself a christmas ornament each year to remember each gardening season :)

The dried flowers are really stunning.they retained most of their colours. The wreath are sturdy,but need more add ons like pine cones,cinnamon etc.

The wreaths are important to your display as a whole. Lia's line of cards, gorgeous as were all the dried flowers and decorations. Congrats on the first Christmas market. 🎄

I’m surprised the market organisers didn’t have good lighting prepared for a night market. Your stall and products were great. Lots of great suggestion on here as well 🥰

Love the ornaments. I'm sure there are other shapes of ornaments that you could utilize and sell all through the year especially in an online store. I recently saw a photo of an entire Christmas tree decorated in dried flowers at a botanical location somewhere. It was stunningly beautiful. You could do wreaths like that with the greenery or even have a sample small Christmas tree decorated in all dried flowers that might promote the dry flower bouquet sales. Maybe consider centerpieces of greenery and dried flowers for tabletop use.

The dried flower ornaments...Brilliant...Beautiful!

I love the dried flower ornaments, I’d definitely get a few. I live in SE Texas and shipping is horrible to send to the states. I’m envious of all the lettuce in your garden. Even though it’s December, our temps are still reaching near 80F. The lettuce bolts fast or taste bitter. I absolutely love your videos ♥️

Definitely would buy dried flower ornaments! Love that you did mostly monochromatic bouquets, love the maroon looking ones!!

Love the dried flower ornament idea! I will definitely be making some for Christmas. 🎅 Good job Lia, your cards are so nice! 😍

Are you going to add dry flowers to the wreath? It will be beautifully. Watch hop along hollow as she does her wreath with dried flowers…

Those cards were the cutest cards I have ever seen! ❤️

The ornaments would be such a great gift, especially for a gardener!

I absolutely love your christmas ornaments. Another idea to sell your dried flowers: glassbottle-candleholders. You can put your dried flowers inside the bottle and put a candle on the opening of the bottle. Maybye put a nice ribbon on the neck of the bottle? These you could sell all year long because they aren't neccesary christmas themed. Love your channel. Keep going. Greetings from germany.

Add dried flowers to your wreaths or put one of the ornaments hanging in the center. Outstanding.

I love the ornaments. I can also see people decorating with them for fall, hanging one in a window for example.

I love the Christmas ornaments! Beautiful!

Try adding fresh cut winter greens, pine or cedar, whatever you can source there for free.... They look fabulous with dried flowers and collaring the brittle drieds with a soft outer bumper helps to protect them as well, wrap with paper and a festive ribbon. Also adding dehydrated orange apple pear slices and nuts, cones and berries work marvelously too. Ive worked with drieds and fresh for more than 30 years.. Lots of options!!

I love the ornaments!!. They would look great hung in my kitchen window all year long

I do love the dried flowers in Christmas ornaments 💚

Yes, the ornaments are beautiful!!

Wow! Those kale flowers are gorgeous 😍

LOVE the dried flower ornaments!

Not just for Christmas. They would make cute decorations for a window. With light coming through them.

I loved the look of dusty miller in the large wreath! Great way to use what you have

I'm all for hopping on the dried flower ornament bandwagon 🌼🌸🌺🎄🎄🎄

You should make resin decor with the dried flowers.the ornaments are a great idea for anytime of the year

The ornaments nare so freaking GORGEOUS

The strawflower ornaments are impressive like ships in a bottle! I'd be puzzling how you got them in! :)

Lia is a gifted child inherited from gifted parents. The wreath are beautifully natural but needed some cosmetic like red ribbons and maybe some dried flowers on them so they can look distinguished. As for the dried ornaments they are unique and can be sold on line easily. Wishing you all the best of luck. 🌲🌲❄❄🛷🛷❤❤🙏🙏🙏

Serina, if you pull the loop up on the ornament top it will contract the prongs so you can just pop the top on. Then just press the loop to spring the prongs.

I love 💖 the ornaments! Very beautiful! Something I would use not just at Christmas.

I love the ornaments. I would order some.

Love the dried flowers in Christmas ornament idea!

You all worked so hard! Everything looked beautiful, great job.

My Mom would love the dried flower ornaments!

Excellent idea. I would definitely purchase those bulbs. Beautiful!

Cold weather to b doing work outside. Dried flowers look amazing U 2 are great workers Happy Christmas May Santa bring u all something nice🎄🎅💐🇮🇪

I can see you selling heart shaped ornaments with those flowers in them for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. Add some strips of aged paper with sayings on them as well and they can be for any occasion. Offer custom ones for birth announcements, graduation, birthday, anniversary. Try out some dried berries and rose petals too.

He did a great job on all the dry flowers and I can see that you’re going to do great at the Christmas boutique with all the wonderful things you’re putting together

The wreaths are my favorite but I agree with others that they need a bow. Love you guys. Merry Christmas!

Your dried arrangements and ornaments are lovely!

The dried flower ornaments are lovely and can be used year round...

thank you!

Those ornaments are amazing!! I can't wait to try drying flowers next year! Not saying I've converted to team flowers or anything but.. Go Team Flowers!!! 🌼

Your dried flowers look amazing! I think putting dried flowers in resin over winter may be a good idea and can definitely help ship and expand the market for you guys!

It's so nice to be able to do different things with the same flowers. I love the ornaments and considering they will last forever it's a great price!

absolutely beautiful!!! I hope you make a billion dollars!

I love the ornaments, and they look great with one color, but they would definitely look great with two colors as well, maybe white flowers with another pretty bright color. Either way you can sell those! They are beautiful!

Dried flower wreaths would look very nice I think and like some people said, with a nice ribbon around.

The ornaments are so beautiful!

What is love a beautiful garden video you guys have beautiful gardens thank you so much for sharing them with us

I use dried flowers for homemade paper making! Super fun.

love the ornaments! But have u thought about using some glitters? Not to all of them but some to make them even more festive! You know “add some texture!” 😆😆✨✨✨

I wonder if xmas wreaths and ornements sell more in late november

I would place Christmas ornaments first on your table to give them better visibility. They are beautiful.

Potpourri sounds like a brilliant way to get a lot of inventory moved! or Put them in bottles with bubble bath soaps...

Add more decorative lights! Around the flowers and tables. It catches people’s eye more. 🤩 Your wreaths are awesome!

The ornaments are lovely!

I loved this video!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful creations 😊

I think the ornaments would be very pretty hanging in a window year round.

I think you are on to something: ornaments look amazing!

The baubles are excellent 👍

Just a thought on your wreaths. Add a bow and maybe battery powered lights and up your price to 60.00.

I like all your dried flowers!

I love the dried flowers, especially the dried flower ornaments!! What you guys do is such a labor of love.

The ornaments are beautiful!

You could also get the clear ornaments that open in half and place larger flower displays in them. They would be faster to assemble as well.

Love the ornaments. Will Def buy when you list for ship.

Those ornaments are so freakin cool!!! Y’all are extremely talented. These would sell super well on Etsy.

Ye super excited actually, and would totally buy! Looks amazing ❤️

The ornaments are stunning, never seen them before. Definately a stall and mail out product. Can you fo eggs for Easter. Fabulous hostess gift and you can use up all the broken tips of your beautiful dried flowers.

I Love the Christmas ornaments !!! your Mom is right, aren't they aways ?!?! I'm starting a Flower Farm in Rhode Island and you guys have been such an amazing inspiration for me! Absolutely LOVE all your videos!

yes ... ornaments - amazing idea

The christmas cards are epic!

You could also have wreath making classes. Makes a decent profit and folks will learn what to do with dried flowers and greens. More to sell more to buy.
