Bouquet Question

What did you girls do with your bouquet after the wedding? I have been married for over a month and my bouquet is still sitting in my refridgerator.

Any suggestions? I don't want to throw the whole thing out.

Thanks

Re: Bouquet Question

How does it look? You could probably have it preserved if it still looks good. I'm using keepsake floral. They are a vendor on this site. Lots of different options. If your boquet doens't look great but there are some flowers you might be able to put the petals in a glass dome top jewelry box that they sell. It's on their website www.keepsakefloral.com

I just put mine into a vase and it is on top of my dresser. It dried up very nicely so I am going ot hold on to it until it starts to fall apart. So its 6 months and still holding strong (lol)

Threw it out...I live in charlotte, but got married in NY and left for my honeymoon right away...I asked my friend to bring it back to charlotte for me and it was still in good shape when I got back from my HM..i threw it out after that though....it was not in perfect shape and I did not think it was worth it to preserve

Mine is sitting on a dresser in my former room in my parents' house on LI. Live in VA and got married in LI and forgot to bring it back or advise someone to do anything with it when we left for our HM. Kind of bummed about that but too late now...

Re: Bouquet Question

I threw mine away... I guess I'm not sentimental like that.

Re: Bouquet Question

I sent the petals to www.petalpearls.com.

My sister in law sent her's and they created this beautiful necklace for her and they used her petals and it was beautiful.

I sent to have my petals turned into the beads and I'm going to create my own necklace to how I'd like it.

Check the site out. It's pretty cool with alot of options for necklace/earrings.

Mine's a the same vase we used on the table at the reception... but then again I used fake flowers, therefore my bouquet shall never die! Another perk to having used fakes :)

(That + the fact that my mom would have had allergic fits the whole wedding if we didn't, heh... but I really like the way they came out and got to see them WAY in advance so it was fantastic)

I was given poor advice about bo-k preservation.... the cheap way I was told to spray the bo-kl with AquNet and it will preserve it..... well, it dried it up immediately!! My mother and aunt brougt it home and sprayed it right after our wedding and they felt so bad!

We moved to NC last summer and I had put it in a plastic bag and into a box with other wedding items... it's still there cause I dont' have the heart to throw it away
