Whenever you need a little home decor inspiration, there are a few stylish stars whose feeds you can always turn to. The model, author, presenter, and entrepreneur is definitely one of them. First it was her cozy and chic living room furniture, then shelving in her open kitchen, and now Chrissy Teigen's dried flower arrangements have all her followers, including celebrities, asking for details .
In a recent Instagram post, Teigen showed off a new addition to her office space. It is a huge monochrome wall made of dried flowers and grass. Chrissy had to post twice because her Los Angeles boyfriend was a fan of this arrangement created by A&J Floral Designs. “Jake Arnold, Chrissy's designer, approached us about this piece and said he wanted a feminine, bohemian floral statement piece,” says Jessica, who co-owns the design company with Amanda Plott.・Fleming explains. “We love projects like this where we can interpret what the client wants and create something tangible.”
Dry arrangements have been making a huge comeback lately, and we're seeing them reflected in the chicest of spaces (for example, A&J created a similar piece for celebrity facialist Shani Darden's studio) (produced). That said, there are a few things that make Teigen's new addition especially unique, both as wall decor and as a statement piece, rather than just a traditional accent piece. “We thought very carefully about every detail, from the different textures and shapes of each flower and grass to the dangling crystals,” says Fleming. “Typically, our clients like when our arrangements feel unusual and new, and that always coincides with when we had the most fun.”
Why not add some unexpected drama to your space by adding dried flowers? Ahead, the A&J team shares some factors to consider when creating floral statement pieces at home (Of course, if you have a project in mind that's too big to DIY, don't hesitate to call a professional.)

Chrissy Teigen's dried flower arrangement: Go Big
A fail-safe way to embellish and create instant drama: Go supersized! “Don't be afraid to go big,” says Fleming. If you have not created a wall section like Teigen, you can increase the scale of the vessel. “We love oversized containers filled with leafy and flowering branches, especially in entryways,” she added.
Chrissy Teigen's Dried Flower Arrangements: Think Unique Shapes
Truly eye-catching arrangements have a three-dimensional feel, so Fleming says to consider the shape you're creating and the vertical and horizontal space it takes up. “When the branches and flowers twist, curve, or extend sideways, they add interesting shapes and variations,” she explains. “Sometimes the best of these can be picked up in your neighborhood.”
Chrissy Teigen's Dried Flower Arrangements: Think Beyond Flowers
Teigen's arrangements utilize a combination of hanging crystals and grasses in addition to more traditional flowers, so what non-traditional elements can be used for a similarly unpredictable effect. Think about how you can mix it up. They're not used to seeing it in a regular arrangement,'' Fleming says. “We always like to use fruits and vegetables (mandarin oranges, kumquats, artichokes, onion flowers, etc.) to give it an unexpected twist.”
