Preserving your bo-k ... some advice from the Newleyweds! :) :)

This info comes via Shamma ...

If you would like to preserve your bo-k after the wedding, you have to make some preparations before the big day! Some of us on the Newlywed board (including me!) missed out on this opportunity by not knowing about it before hand.

Here is a site (Shamma used them, said her bo-k came out great!) where you can send it immediately after the wedding & they will take care of the preserving. The instructions are very clear. You should gather all of the materials, call them to tell them its coming, then put someone in charge of getting it packed & send it Fed-ex, all while you're on your way to relaxing on your HM! When you return, your bo-k will be preserved and waiting for you to find a suitable place in your home to place this cherished item!

Good luck!

My mom got the info from the florist and we hung it in a dark place upside down. I have my bouquet and two bridesmaid boquets. I have them in my living room.

Thanks for the infor, I'm sure this will come in handy for a lot of us
My only concern is that I heard lillies (asiatic) dont freeze well

Liz ... call them & ask what they recommend. They are very helpful on the phone! But, I don't think they want the flowers to freeze, just to stay as fresh as possible until they can start their preservation process.
