Silk Flower question

So I already finished making the bouts and bouquets, also would like to get a start on the corsages to get it all done. I don't get married until Sept 2012, but I know that I have a lot of stuff going on over the year so getting as much done now as I can.

My question is, anyone have good advice on storing them from now until the wedding? I want to keep them as clean, dust free and nice as possible. I have heard about putting them in a plastic bag, with a humidifier (to soak up any moisture, similar to when storing an instrument), but wondering what other ideas were out there.

    I agree! Then place them in a shoe box so they don't get crushed.

    BMcLeod, they look great!  Are the white roses the real touch or another kind from Afloral?

    The white are just regular silks, they come in a premade bouquet but I pulled it apart and remade they how I like. The bouts I got premade. For mine I ordered a premade bouquet of really dark red roses, as well as a bunch of single stems of more than one different shade of red and put them together. For anyone who might be interested HTH! I recommend Afloral hands down though, prices were great (especially if you buy some of the premade bouquets and then take them apart) and the quality is great!
