Preserving Bo-ks???

I want to preserve my B-ok....and I already probably waited to long. Does anyone know what I could use or where I could take it?

I hung mine upside down for a few months. Now it's in a football display case that I got from Michael's.

I used Forever in Bloom and was very happy with them.

I am using keepsake floral. They are a vendor on the board. Haven't gotten it back yet, so I don't know what it looks like...but customer service has been very good.

When are you supposed to make the arrangments to do this? I am getting married on Saturday, can I set this up after my HM?

Thanks ladies.

Soon to be newlywed

Re: Preserving Bo-ks???

I used Lone Star Freeze Dry and my bo-k looks just like it did on the wedding day. Here is the picture that Lisa from LSFD sent me.
I put my tiara in when she sent it to me. She was great to work with. It's based out of Texas and she is quick with her emails and she has the patience of a saint. I sent her my bo-k the day after the wedding and she had it up until a few weeks ago because I couldn't make up my mind with which set-up to choose.
She never rushed me or anything. My set-up was $300 and it is worth every penny. Any other questions, please feel free to FM me.

Here's a picture of mine. I used Heller and Reid. But you have to set it up before your wedding.

Re: Preserving Bo-ks???

I have mine hanging upside down in a closet. I peeked a few times and its drying nicely. I think that it has to be done right away.

Re: Preserving Bo-ks???

I had thought about preserving my bouquet, but someone walked off with it at my reception, so that was the end of that idea!

Someone walked off with your bo-k??????

That is the craziest thing I've ever heard! Do you think someone from the catering place dumped it or something? Larkfield Manor threw away the top of my cake - nice, right

Re: Preserving Bo-ks???

I checked with the manager of the club before I left after the reception -- we looked and looked and couldn't find the bouquet anywhere. She had cleared off the cake table (where it was) and said she didn't see it there at the end.

But I did get the top of my cake!

Re: Preserving Bo-ks???

Thanks everyone...I can not believe someone walked off with your b-ok..THAT'S CRAZY!!!!
Trish: I love yours!!! I wish I thought about this prior to the wedding. Now, I think it is too late and I am not sure I want to spend over $300.
