Preserving bouquets?

Posted by MrsDtoBe09

If you're not going to send it out to have it preserved I would spray it with hair spray so the petals stay in tact when you dry it. Then I guess hang it upside down? I've also heard of putting it in the fridge and slowly letting it dry in there (but who has that kind of space?).

How long do you have until after the wedding to bring it to them?

Yes could you share what you had to do to send it out and how far in advance did you put your order in??? I want to do this and it seems like they send you the box and the directions but it is a bit confusing!

i did mine through keepsake floral.. i set it up about a month in advance.. i called them and they explained eveything.. you need to put a deposit down of $190...they sent me a box with instructions.. you can put it in your own box.. but i wouldn't reccommend it.. they sent an ice pack, raffia, & stuffing with it.. and the directions.

my mom sent it out the monday after our wedding..i think it had to be overnighted... it cost $47.

i know you can make arrangements to preserve your bouk after the wedding.. but i dont know the time frame.. i imagine it isn't too long.

well anyway after i sent it in they called after it arrived to make an appointment to discuss what you want to do with the bouk.. what style...

i ended up going with an oval shaped arrangement, that i can hang on my wall... it takes 12 weeks for the preserving precess to be done.... i am not expecting mine back till early ocotber.

It is very expensive.. i would say mine cost around $600. and i really didn't add anything to it.. you can put your invite, bout, pix whatever you want....

i will post a pic when i get it. i just did it because i figured it would be something i would regret if i didn't do it.

also i had gotten a few emails from them where you could save 10%... so look out for those.


sorry so long, but i hope this helps!!
