Bouquet preservation

in May 2012 Weddings

I got married on Saturday and never gave it a thought about preserving my flowers. They are so pretty and I want to keep them. I asked my florist about it, and she didn't have any ideas. I called around to a few florists, and I also googled. I found a place I can ship them to, bu the flowers are 4 days old at this point and it's also very expensive. Michael's sells the sylica gel. I could also hang them upside down to dry out. I'm thinking I would like to put them in a shadow box at some point (once dried or whatever). What are you ladies doing? I am a total loss.

    They are beautiful! I've found a website that you can ship them too as well but I think they recommended within 3 days.

    I remember getting something about that from a bridal show when I first got engaged.  www.timelessmoments.com
    They shadow box it, if that's what you want, but it looks like they can also turn your flowers into jewelry.  I saved the ad because I thought it was interesting.  It looks like they are Cleveland based.

    My sister used this stuff that we got at the Bloomsburg fair one year when she got married.  It worked really nicely and held the color of her flowers.  I plan on using it myself- it wasn't messy or too expensive.

    I picked some of the roses and have them hanging upside down to dry out.

    I have heard you can spray them with hairspray and that helps.  I also saw this on Pinterest (clicky) and I love the idea!

    I thought the same thing with my flowers! They were beautiful peonies and I found this site online that puts it in a shadow box thingy, but it was $900!! I think I will keep mine in the vase for now... maybe flip them and hang them in my old room at my parents house, my sister kept hers there haha.
