I dried my bouquet...now what?

Any ideas on what I can do with it now? It's just kinda hanging there...

my mom dried mine out for me and put it in a pretty vase that had similiar flowers to my bo-k

I have mine in my wall unit behind a glass door. Don't know if it'll stay there, who knows. Looks nice for now!

I wanted to put it in a vase, but the vase was too tall...

I thought I had a pic on shutterfly, but no luck - sorry

Teri gave me this idea, I put it in a momento glass box that was supposed to be for a football or something. Got it at Michael's.

Are you supposed to spray something on it?

My sister dried out my Bo-K and my girls flowers also and she wants to make a wreath for me. I guess we will see how it works out

Mine is dried and it is my decoration in my bathroom. It looks really pretty and many people have commented on it.

Mine is in a glass case where I also keep a crystal framed wedding picture and my cake topper so it looks like a theme.

Re: I dried my bouquet...now what?

Thanks! I didn't spray anything on mine and so far so good, a year later.

Re: I dried my bouquet...now what?

I put mine in my hope chest along with my other wedding memorabilia - it will dry on it's own :)

Re: I dried my bouquet...now what?

I had mine professionally done, I loved my bo-k so much, I know I am spoiled. I was afraid I would have made a mess of it. I also included our invitation.

Here it is, its hanging in our LR

Stacey - I could have sworn YOU gave me that idea! Oh wait - maybe I'm confusing that with the hat box

My bouquet is the same as above but in a square box and still looks great!

Shamma...that's gorgeous!!! I would have loved to have done that, just didn't even bother because I don't know how I would've gotten it to them without it dying out.

How did you get it to whoever preserved it for you?

Re: I dried my bouquet...now what?

I sent it to them overnight delivery on ice. They will replace any flowers that die or did not make it in shipping.
