Best DIY Way to Preserve Bouquet

SO I got married on Saturday and didn't even think about it until today.  Is there any way to preserve the bouquet at home?  The only thing I can think of is to vacuum seal it but I don't know if that's going to work. Or should I forget about it and just enjoy it in photos.  Thanks!

    You could always hang it upside down to let it dry out and then store it in a plastic bag in a hard box.  Of course over time it will just crumble.

    Personally, I would enjoy it while it lasts and then look back at your pictures to remember how pretty it was...because looking at a brown crumple of flowers is just sad.

    Congrats on the wedding!  I put a flower arrangement from my brothers funeral into a shadow box, upside down.  It did dry out but nicely preserved the colors of each flower.  You could try that and coupled with your photos you will have a nice memory.

    What about pressing a few of the flowers from your bouquet and framing them?
