I also wanted to do this... and got info from the vendor on here that does it... but I thought it was way tooooo much for a nice preservation... I would love to go somewhere cheaper but I have no idea where...

I have mine hanging upside down from a chandelier in my mom's house.

Once it's completely dry I'm going to put it in a shadow box.

I went to a craft fair recently where the guy takes your flowers and invitation and kind of shellacs them over a wooden base. It actually looks very beautiful. I have his e-mail address at home if anyone wants it. He's in Poughkeepsie.

Re: Bouquet preservation

Yes, but I have the info at home. Did you want the whole bo-k done or just part of it.
They do it so the flowers frame your invite or in a dome. I'll post when I get home.
