Preserving Wedding Bouquet
Now that the wedding is over… what can you do at home to make your flowers stay pretty forever?
Real Simple has a guide. (They have a guide for everything that’s why I love them!)
How to Dry Your Wedding Bouquet
Follow these instructions to preserve your flowers for years to come.
- Hang the bouquet upside down in a cool, dry, dark place.
- After it dries, place it in a box lined with tissue paper.
- If you don’t have space to store the whole bouquet and know you would never look lovingly at a bunch of dried flowers, select a few blooms to press. Just open a dictionary, fold a paper towel over the blooms on a page, then close the book and leave it flat. The next time you look up a word?voila!?you’ll find a flattened-flower keepsake. You may even decide to use a few pressed flowers to adorn your first-anniversary card.
If you are having a hard time doing it home or just don’t want to… come in and see me! I’ll help you out.
