Thanks!

I would love to but it is a little too much $$

I have a long way to go before I have to make that decision but I dont know if I am going to b/c of the prices.
I think there has to be a cheaper way to do it. If I see anything about it I will let you know. Sorry, probably doesnt help very much.

I found this cool site, www.keepsakefloral.com, and they can put your preserved flowers in a jewelry box for you. The top is a small dome with your flowers. There are different sizes, and I think the smallst one is 5x7 and $200. I thought it was a different way to do it, and not all that expensive for something that you can actually use.

I would like to do this also. I saw a place that you can even preserve a few flowers from your bouquet instead of the whole thing and it would be less $$.

I think it's money well spent. It's great to show your children or grandchildren and just to have around as a keepsake. Once you lose it you can't get it back.

I voted Yes, because I would have, but white roses in May they didn't last that well -- by the end of the night they were brown, oh well.

I won't be doing this, it's too much money.

Re: preserving your bouquet

I did it....sooooo totally worth it. Think of all the things you are spending money on for that day that you are not considering a waste like mulitple hair and make-up trials, things to throw at church, table cameras, etc....and what a waste some of it is....if you can find it in your budget, I highly recommend it. I was so happy with the results.
