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 had to throw mine out
Ditto .. somehow in the hotel room pn the wedding night, it got very funky and seemed to have freeze dried in a strange way (the AC must have been too high or something..)
I kept it at home for the days until we went on the HM, but it looked so very bad I tossed it a week later.
I was a little sad, but another part of me doesn't think I would have preserved it anyhow.. so at least I have lots of pics that captured it in all its glory on our wedding day

Re: Where is your bouquet?
Mine's in my garage....one of my BMs dried it out and did a great job but it SMELLS GROSS for some reason. So I'll probably throw it out. I just feel bad because of the effort she put into drying it for me.

My flowers were brown before the reception, so I told my mom just to throw it out the next day.

I dried mine and it is now in a display box with my invitation and DH's dried bout. Everyone loves it, it's so antique looking!

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.
