My question is, what else would you want to preserve besides your wedding gown? How about preserving your wedding day bouquet! Your thinking, how can I do this if I throw it to the crowd of single ladies? Well, here is your answer to that dilemma. After you’re done walking down the aisle with your gorgeous bouquet, switch out your bouquet to a second one that is identical to it to throw to your friends and family…(they will never know the difference). This way you can forever keep your wedding day bouquet and also experience the thrilling effect of throwing one backwards over your head! Something cute that you could do as well is attach a note to your “throwing bouquet” on how to preserve the flowers best. Just in case the gal who caught your bouquet wishes to do the same. There are many different ways to preserve your flowers and one way is to get it professionally preserved which involves spending an extra $100 or so to do. Another way, which is one of my favorites is to hang the bouquet upside down and pin it to one of your walls and let it dry out on its own. Afterwards place it in a glass box and forever be able to view it without anyone touching them. Simply Beautiful!

It is possible to get great results preserving your bouquet at home! There is a product called Flower Drying Crystals made by Absorbent Industries and available through their web site http://www.SilicaGelPackets.com that is great for drying flowers. The short version is you cover the flowers with the Silica Gel beads in an airtight container and let them sit. The more moisture in the flowers, the longer it will take, but it is faster and yields better results than simply hanging them to air dry. The best part is, they are reusable, so if you get them for these flowers, you can simply heat them up to reactivate them and use them again the next time you want to dry flowers.
