Bought a bunch of those trendy dried pampas grass bundles last fall

Spent about $200 on them thinking they'd be a great low-maintenance option for winter arrangements. The problem was they shed everywhere, like a constant fine dust all over the shop and any nearby flowers. I had to toss most of it out after a month because it was making a mess and clients complained. Anyone found a dried floral that doesn't turn into a total shedding nightmare?

My friend's shop had the same dusty mess with those.

Two hundred dollars for a dusty mess is just wild.

Totally get where you're coming from @bettys51, I would have said the exact same thing a while back. What changed for me was seeing how much work actually goes into cleaning and fixing up that kind of dusty mess, it's way more hours than you'd guess. The price starts to make a sad kind of sense when you realize the labor, even if it still feels crazy.
