Good question. I hung it upside down while we were on the honeymoon, now its just sitting in a box waiting for me to decide what to do with it. I think I'll keep it for awhile and end up throwing it out eventually

My sister dried them out for me now they are sitting in the vase we gave as a favor.

I didn't touch mine after setting it down on our sweetheart table at the wedding! It was placed there along with the BM bouquets and I guess the RH threw them away later on. I didn't see any reason to keep it.

i was going to preserve mine so i left it with my parents... my mom said that she forgot about it so it died. boohooo...

my centerpiece on the other hand lasted a whole month in my parents house.

just went to the website - looks like they do really great work... but its a little bit more expensive than i can afford right now (esp with being new homeowners!!!)

i'm trying to think of a way i can press them and frame them in a shadow box or something any crafty girls have ideas for me??

Re: for those 08ers who are already married....

you may want to look into flowersintopaintings.com...i think it's a really creative way to 'preserve' your flowers

it went in the garbage when I came back from my HM

Re: for those 08ers who are already married....

yea it is very hard to keep the color in flowers when they are dried. I am not sure how to do it that is why i did the keepsake floral. Very expensive, i am not 100% happy with the end result but i am happy i did it in the end. I think it really was an important thing for me at the wedding so i really wanted to keep it. Plus the wrap around my bq was some extra material from my dress so i get to see my dress too.
