I received my floral preservation from Keepsake floral today and i couldn't be happier. It came out so beautiful! I can not say enough good things about them and too me this was definitely worth the money.

It was kind of hard to get a good picture of this but you get the idea

ETA the shadowbox isn't black it's cherry. It looks black from the pics and there is really pretty detailing on the shadowbox

Beautiful.

I am almost tempted to have the florist make me a new bok so I can do this!

I was thinking the same thing when I typed up my answer. My DH would think I'm NUTS, but I also loved my bo-k and it was fairly simple - only circus roses with seeded eucalyptus and hypericum berries.

Mine was simple too -- big but simple. My DH already knows I am nuts. I didn't dry mine out properly and left it in water too long so the ends got moldy. It is now in a bag in the outside storage room. He knows how upset I was at myself for doing that!

WOW!!!!!!! I love it!!! It came out soooo pretty! I wish I would have done that too! I loved my bo-k and I tried to have the florist replicate it..they didn't do a great job

Wow that came out really nice.....i think I am going to try and do this myself, my bouquet is now completely dried and still looks amazing. HOpefully I can put this in a shadowbox and preserve it.....I keep saying I want to do this but dont have time, it is still sitting on my dresser

I dried mine out and pressed flat and squezzed it into a little 8x10 shadown box...looks pretty cute too.
