I remember when I took my bridal bouquet home from the wedding. It was so beautiful, fragrant, and intricately-designed. Oh, how I wanted to preserve those flowers forever! I tried, I really did: I looked up tutorials online about air-drying the bouquet to retain its shape upside-down. That worked, but it turned my bouquet into a Halloween decoration, all air-dryed, faded, and dark. It wasn’t quite what I had in mind, and eventually I parted ways with it.
But that’s because I didn’t know you could preserve your wedding flowers in a frame, as wall art. Had I known then what I know now? I’d have a gorgeous piece of art on our walls at home that I could view daily and recall those lush petals and elegant greenery.
So, when you have flowers that are extra-special to you, like wedding flowers, your bridal bouquet, the boutonniere, etc., don’t do what I did. Here’s the best way to preserve wedding flowers forever and I’m honestly so glad you’ll be able to do what I wasn’t.
