4 Ways to Preserve Your Bridal Bouquet

Obsessed with the way your wedding bouquet came out? Want to cherish it forever? Keep reading for unique ways to preserve these precious florals, just remember to get them home safely in one piece after the wedding! 

1. Hung

Tie them together by the stems and hang them upside down for several weeks in a dry environment. The flowers will end up becoming a darker color. After, display them as you wish! Just remember, this method leaves the flowers very fragile.

2. Pressed

Get them pressed professionally or press them at home! Leave the flowers in between two pieces of parchment paper, inside a heavy book or large, flat item for 7-10 days. Weight is key here so make sure you stack more books or heavy items on top. After, display them as you wish -- in a frame, in your guest book, or in your wedding album.

3. Dried

Get them professionally silica-gel dried or freeze-dried to preserve them three-dimensionally. This will also allow the flowers to keep their original color, not to mention it will be a beautiful item for your coffee table decor.

4. Wax

Dip your flowers in wax. This is not a forever solution, however, it will definitely extend their life for about 6 months.
