are there local florists that do it? I have not asked mine yet. I may send it out to one of those companies but it is costly, like at least $500 for something nicely framed. Then what if I don't like how it looks?
I am willing to try a do it yourself method but nothing I have seen online looks easy to do. I would experiment before the wedding, using supermarket flowers or something like that.
Who has good suggestions?

For my sister, I bought these crystals at a craft store. You had to puit the bo-k ina container in these crystals, which would absorb the moisture. You seal it in a container with them for 7 days and when it comes out it's preserved. i think I waited a little too long ith my sister's, the color didn't get preserved as well as I wish it would have, but it was a lot better than just hanging it upside down would ahve done, and it cost about $20

I thought about this but I'll be on my honeymoon so I can't do the process. I don't think anyone would want to do it for me at that time but I may ask the BMs.

Re: anyone find inexpensive bouquet preservation?
I have one floral wreath in my house but I will probably get a shadow box for my bouquet.
We're both Jewish and I associate wreaths with Christmas.
I love the idea of a shadow box where I can put other mementos in.
