The cost of bridal bouquet preservation!!!!!!!!!!!
The cheapest I saw was $375, but I saw some costing over $700!!!!!!! What justifies these high prices? Anyone know? Mary MOB

I just hung my bouquet upside down in our basement for about a month after the wedding. Now its in a pretty vase in our bedroom. The whole project was FREE! I like that price a lot better.

Jaclyn, I've always wanted to learn how to dry flowers. We have a beautiful blue hydrangea, which turns other interesting colors when we don't put additives on to keep it blue; Has to do with the acidity of the soil. But, when I went to the Phila. Flower Show, a vendor was selling bunches of hydrangeas for $10. Of couse the wheels in my head were spinning!!! Hmmmm, how many more hydrangea bushes can we plant?? Mary MOB

i know - it's INSANE....

One of the 07 girls had wooden boquets made for her wedding that looked AMAZING... I got in touch with the company & they are going to duplicate my boquet as long as I provide pictures from every angle. I figure this will look amazing forever!!!!

Hi, I preserved my daughters bouquet then bought a deep shadow box ,lined it with material and put her invitation in with it too. You can buy silica gel. I couldn't find any at any craft stores but you can buy it on EBAY. You need to take pictures of the bouquet take it apart and bury the flowers in the gel. You need at least 20 pounds of it and 2 large containers. I did mine 28 years ago and still looks good. If you want more details of it let FM me. I believe I have a pic of it in my album.
