Okay, I've pressed some of the flowers from my bouquet, and plan to frame those eventually along with photos. My thought was to make a collage of photos, invitations, the flowers, etc.
However, I hung the rest of my bouquet to dry, and I can't decide what to do with it now. It doesn't look pretty, and I can't bring myself to throw it out, but storing it seems silly. I know I won't look at it much once it's put away.
What did you guys do with your bouquets?

Re: Bouquets?
mine didnt dry nice at all - the orchids got all translucent and shrivled up so it got thrown away
Mine was all wrong so I couldn't bear to look at it so I threw it away the next morning.
You should hint to DH ( or jsut tlel him) that for your anniversary you wouant a flower arrangement like how your bouquet was supposed to be!
You know what he did actually? He went to a nursery and tried to grow them in a flower pot. He wouldnt tell me what the flowers were going to be and it would be a surprise when they bloomed. But the bulbs never sprouted.

Re: Bouquets?
My mom hung mine to dry during our HM and now I have it in a curio. If I touch it too much it cracks, so it's going to stay put indefinitely.

Re: Bouquets?
Mine started falling apart after the church, I was so pissed I used the real bouquet as my 'throw away' so it went to DH's cousin. I kept the one the florist made for the toss (all pink orchids and peonies) because it was gorgeous, fragrant and fresh but it dried and looked awful...I'm about to throw it out.
