XP: What to do with a bouquet

McHotts · January 2012

OK, so I was a good girl and hung my bouquet upside down almost right away. In the month + since the wedding, It has dried beautifully....now what? I have seen old photos with dried bouquets displayed, but I am not sure how to go about doing this.

Does anyone have tips/ideas about how to display a dried bouquet without just laying dead flowers on a bookshelf? Thanks!

You could always have it mounted in a shadow box. My friend had hers preserved and placed in a shadow bod, but IMO it looks weird and some of the petals have fallen into the bottom of the frame.

Honestly, I think you should take a stem or two of the flowers in your bouquet and place them in a air tight box and store the box with your wedding dress. That way you still have a momento from your bouquet but not the whole dried up mess that you will eventually throw away.
