Bouquet after wedding

Original post by MarryTheNight24

I'm not sure what to do with my bouquet. I put it in a vase after the wedding and then left for our honeymoon. Of course when we got back it was dried up. I just can't bring myself to toss it, but I also have no clue how I can display it nicely. Any suggestions?

Keepsake Floral!! My sister used them years ago and it have already purchased my preservation set! They were also recommended from my florist. You can create any type of style, memory box, just bouquet, frame/glass whatever and include more than just your flowers. You receive a box that has ice packs and cooler thingy then you send your bouquet and they preserve in whatever you pick. FH and I are gonna do a shadow box type thing with bouquet, corsage, our invitation maybe garter as well.. Check them out!

I am saving my flowers to put into an ornament to hang at Christmas time.... I was going to take the dried flowers, the ribbon and the cork from our champagne and buy glass ornaments to fill them withI figured that making a few ornaments would be a good idea incase one breaks..I found the idea on Pinterest !!



This!! I didn't have the space or money to get it preserved so I took a few pieces and put them in a clear glass ornament with my wedding invitations, glitter and on the outside our names plus wedding date.

I waited for mine to completely dry out and put my bouquet, my husband's bout flowers, flowers from my parent's flowers & from centerpieces into a large mason jar! It looks beautiful mixed in and I have it on my dresser in our room.

This is so nice! I think I might do the jar. The only thing is my bouquet was full of all light colored flowers. I wish I had one of my bridesmaids bouquets still to add to it. My mom did dry out the hydrangeas and some other flowers from my centerpiece and put it in the kitchen in a little flowerbox that's attached to a clock. It looks really pretty.
