Where are you putting your bouquet?

My MIL dried it, but I can't figure out what to do with it. Do I hang it somewhere? I want to protect it.

I dried it up-side down with the bouquet holder. Then I put it in a box covered with tissue paper. I plan to keep it indefinitely. It was the most beautiful yet expensive flowers I've ever owned.

I dried mine for a week, then displayed it in a shadow box with my invitation and my DH's dried bout... it is hanging on my wall, and everyone who sees it cant believe i did it myself not professionally. I have to say it looks fabulous... i am so glad i didnt just throw out my bo-k... and didnt spend a fortune either, gotta love Michaels!!

I had mine preserved (I used forever in bloom) and have it hung in my dining room. It was worth the money.

Re: Where are you putting your bouquet?

I tossed it, literally, it was gross by the end of the night. Calla lilies in January don't hold up well. I kept my throw bouquet and have it hanging to dry. At some point I will put it in a shadow box.
