Mine stayed in the fridge for a month, until it was completely dry. Now, it's on top of my fridge just sitting there. I never preserved it professionally because by the end of the night, all of the stephanotis flowers were COMPLETELY wilted and dead, so it wasn't worth it...
Now, I don't know what to do with it. The roses are dried out, but the color is preserved. But, all that remains of the stephanotis are the pearl pins that were in the center of each flower.
Edited to add: My LOCAL florist did my bouquets...and HE sucked!
I rearranged it in the same shape it was (but smaller, cuz it dried) and it is in a shadobox with my invitation. I got the stuff at Michael's and it was really inexpensive. The only trouble was taking it apart without losing any flower petals, but I hairsprayed them to help keep them together & it worked!

Mine sits on top of a vase on my sofa table. It dried beautifully while I was on my HM. But it gets dusty sometimes.

Re: Where is your bouquet?
We put mine on my DH's sister's grave the morning after the wedding (she passed away less than two months before) and the flowers from our table went on his parents grave.

Re: Where is your bouquet?
Mine is still hanging upside down in my moms basement. It looks pretty good considering I carried it almost 7 months ago. One day I will figure out what I want to do with it!!
Wendy, we did almost the same thing. We had the florist create an honorary boutineere for my brothers grave and brought it the day before and then we took the two extra bridesmaid bouquets we had and gave one to one set of grandparents and the other to my other set of grandparents!!

Mine is hanging upside down in my closet--where we keep shoes. Now my shoes are very fragrant.

I used keepsake floral....yes...it was pretty expensive...about $500. But...I will have it forever, and I love it...so it was worth it to me.

Re: Where is your bouquet?
I dried mine by hanging it upside down and now it's in a football display box (from Michael's) on my dresser.

Sad to say I lost it that night. I'm guessing somebody picked up after they had a few too many!

Re: Where is your bouquet?
My father passed away about 2 1/2 years before I got married so I had my mother place it on his grave the next day (I would have done it myself but was already on a plane to Hawaii).
