Bo-k preservation

I researched a few different places and decided that I really didn't want to invest such a large sum of money to have my bo-kk preserved, so I tried spraying it with hairspray, as someone else had suggested.

unfortunately, the minute the flowers were sprayed, my mom said they had a horrible smell and they wilted even quicker When I got home and opened the closet where she left them (5 days earlier), the smell was aweful and I had to take them outside. Only the center couple of flowers were still in good shape - the rest were dark and wilted.

I'm not sure if it was the hairspray or the flowers, but to be fair, I had sunflowers, gerbera daisies, ivory roses and something else ( don't remember the name) and only a sunflower and diasy in the middle was ok.

So, I just wanted to forward my review of trying to cheaply preserve my bo-k - it was a bust.

I’m sorry that didn’t work. But I really appreciate you letting us all know.

awww, that's too bad

Do you have some pics of your bo-k from all angles?

I'm going to try to duplicate mine with silk flowers (one of these days )

it cost a good bit of $$...but i think its worth it. we are waiting for ours at keepsake foral.
it should be here anyday now. my sister got hers done and it looks absoultely they way it long on her wedding day

Yes, fortunately I do, but it's ok. I have a couple good flowers, DH's bout and my mom's corsage, so it should be ok

McD - you're right it is beautiful, but I just couldn't justify the expense.
