The most beautiful dried flower arrangements, delivered by your local florist

A dried-flower bell is a unique object in the world offloral art: something that is both frozen in time and alive, a small botanical arrangement preserved under glass. At Sessile, each dried-flower bell is handcrafted by a florist near you. Drawing on their inspiration and the varieties available in their inventory, they combine eternal roses, dried hydrangeas, pampas grass, gypsophila, immortelles, and grasses to create a miniature scene that is both delicate and full of character. The glass dome then encases the arrangement, protecting it from dust and giving it the status of a precious object that can be cherished for years to come.

To send a dried flower bell via Sessile, the process is the same as ordering a bouquet. You enter the delivery address, choose from the artisans who deliver to that area, select your favorite arrangement, and then confirm your purchase. The artisan then prepares your bell jar and packs it in suitable packaging to ensure it arrives intact. Delivery is made in person on the date you choose. Our network covers the entire country: whether the person you’re thinking of lives in the Paris region, Alsace, or the Southwest, a Sessile artisan is sure to fulfill your order.

Picking up your order directly from the florist is especially well-suited for bell-shaped arrangements: there’s no risk of breakage during shipping, and you get the chance to admire the arrangement yourself before taking it home. You order online, select the “click & collect” option, and your florist will let you know as soon as the arrangement is ready. You can pick it up at a time that’s convenient for you. This solution offers two practical benefits: no delivery fees, and the chance to talk to your florist if you want to tweak a detail before taking the bell home, or to learn more about how to care for it.

A bell jar filled with dried flowers is a gift unlike any other. While a bouquet lasts only a few days, an arrangement under a bell jar lasts for years. Whereas a potted plant requires care, the bell jar is self-sufficient: no water, no special lighting, no risk. It finds its place on a bookshelf, a console table, in a bedroom, or on a desk. It adds that botanical touch—somewhat old-fashioned yet strangely modern at the same time—reminiscent of 19th-century cabinets of curiosities. It makes a perfect gift for a birthday, a housewarming, a wedding, a new baby, or simply as a treat for yourself to enhance your home décor. It transcends trends without ever looking dated.

Not all dried flowers are equally suited for display under a glass dome. The best choices are those that retain their structure over time: eternal roses as the focal point, dried hydrangeas for volume and softness, gypsophila for lightness, pampas grass for height and movement, and immortelles for color that stays true. Grasses add rhythm, while lagurus (hare’s tail) provide a cottony touch. Some glass domes feature a monochromatic palette (all white, all natural, all pastel), while others explore more contrasting combinations with touches of red, burgundy, or deep green. The choice depends on the style you’re looking for and the interior where the glass dome will be displayed. Your artisan florist will be able to advise you based on your preferences.

A bell-shaped arrangement of dried flowers carries a special symbolism: that of beauty frozen in time, memories preserved, and fragility protected. It brings to mind our grandparents’ herbariums, the photo albums we sometimes leaf through—all those objects that capture a moment to keep it alive. To give a bell-shaped arrangement is to give that very idea: something that lasts. The chosen flowers each bring their own nuances. The eternal rose evokes enduringlove.The hydrangea symbolizes gratitude and sincerity. The gypsophila evokes innocence and lightness. The immortelle, as its name suggests, embodies the idea of a memory that never fades. A gift rich in meaning, discreet in its message yet enduring in its presence.

Caring for a glass bell jar is particularly simple: there’s practically nothing to do. The glass bell jar protects the flowers from dust, moisture, and everyday bumps. It’s best to place it out of direct sunlight: UV rays can cause some dried flowers to fade over the years. Avoid rooms that are too humid (such as an unventilated bathroom), as this could promote mold growth. A soft, dry cloth is all you need to dust the outside of the glass from time to time. If you need to open the bell jar to clean the inside, do so only rarely and with care. When properly displayed, a bell jar of dried flowers will easily last for several years without losing its appeal.

At Sessile, we love dried flower domes for what they represent: a gift that lasts, a small floral arrangement that stands the test of time without requiring any maintenance. Each dome created by our artisan florists is a one-of-a-kind composition, designed to complement your decor or that of the person you’re giving it to. Our artisans work with dried flowers selected for their quality and durability, and take the time to arrange them in a way that makes all the difference between a standard item and a living work of art. If you ’re looking for a gift that transcends trends and continues to speak volumes years later, a dried flower bell is likely one of the best options.
