Bouquet preservation??

bliubird23 · September 2009

Did anyone do this or will be doing this?? My wedding is DAYS away but I'm still debating this. Mostly because I couldn't find someone who does this in central, northern NJ - all the ones I found online are down south. And I'm wondering if it's even worth it... Thoughts?

Was going to, was dead set on doing it. Then day of - nah forget it. I had all roses, which were beautiful, but were out of water for so long that they looked kind of eh. Also, because I was using them in lots of pics they got a bit smushed up.Since it's so expensive I instead dried them and they are now sitting in a vase. Looks great.

I hung mine upside down in my closet over our HM, then sprayed it with hairspray when we got back.... it's holding up pretty nicely, even through a move, though it is semi-fragile.

I left mine in a bowl, standing up, when we left for our HM and when we came back, it was dried & still looks the same.

Kathy - what kind of flowers? My sister's bouquet was all roses like mine and she left hers standing up and they all wilted over before they dried out. She still has it though!
