With the cost of bridal flowers continuing to skyrocket, using homegrown blooms really is the best way to save some money, and show the planet a little love. To help you grow your own wedding flowers like a pro, gardener and writer Sarah Raven has shared her expertise.
Dried flowers care and maintenance: Avoid rooms which become very humid or over-heated; don't put dried flowers in a kitchen or bathroom. Humidity can also make flower-heads mouldy. Place away from direct sunlight as this will encourage flowers to fade and become brittle. (Photo: cerise pink hydrangeas and strawberry pink fluffy bunny tales by Appreciation Project)
With so much choice available, dried flowers enhance any living space; from playful bunny tail grasses to elegant echinacea (coneflower). They are adaptable and require minimal maintenance. (Photo: Appreciation Project)

9 golden rules to extend the lifespan of your poinsettia: the perfect Christmas houseplant. Many supermarkets scoop poinsettias in with flowers, placing them by the store's front door in the hope customers will be tempted on the way in or out. But, you should never buy a poinsettia sat next to a set of automatic doors that open every 30 seconds, because it will have been damaged by those UK winds it never had to experience in Mexico. (Stars for Europe). #poinsettia
9 golden rules to extend the lifespan of your poinsettia: the perfect Christmas houseplant. Red poinsettias are the best-selling of all, followed by white and cream-coloured varieties. This is followed by bicoloured and speckled cultivars, as well as poinsettias of the pink variety. The nation's love for poinsettias grows each year, boosted by the ever growing popularity of houseplants alongside the fashion for all things Mexican in homes and interiors.

The Christmas cactus has become a firm Christmas plant favourite, and an alternative to the traditional Poinsettia – and it's easy to see why more and more of us are opting for a pricklier festive flower. With hanging branches and an abundance of little flowers in red, white, yellow, pink and purple, the Christmas cactus is the perfect way to bring a burst of colour to festivities. And they bloom just in time for the holidays, with the right amount of TLC. #christmascactus #christmasplant
