So now what do I do with my Bouquet?

My MIL saved it for me.... she sprayed some hairspray on it (?????).... It's starting to dry out now... what do I do with it? I never thought I'd feel so sentimental about it but now I think I want to keep some part of it in some way. What did you do with yours?

I sprayed mine with a whole bottle of hairspray and then hung it upside down to dry. It's sitting in a glass cabinet on a shelf with my tiara on it and the invitation next to it.

Mine's been hanging to dry, but i don't think my mom sprayed any hairspray. Do you think I can still spray it even though it's almost completely dried out?

Re: So now what do I do with my Bouquet?

I think the hairspray helps hold it together and keep some of the color. I pulled mine apart and made a little cluster with it for a vase and I also pressed some of the flowers. I have so much stuff I felt the need to condense!!
