Are You Preserving Your Bouquet After The Wedding?

I'm sending it off to have it pressed into a picture frame. But I'm super worried I will box it incorrectly and screw something up.

View Quoted Comment Love the idea of having it pressed into a picture frame! I'm sure everything will turn out fine. If packaging it is a concern, is there a local company that you can drop off your bouquet to so you don't have to mail it?

I've seen a handful of Etsy shops that will preserve bouquets in resin and make them into things. I was thinking maybe having mine made into a set of coasters since we use our current coasters every day. A picture frame sounds neat too!

View Quoted Comment Coasters are a cool idea! Especially because they're functional. I also like the idea of a picture frame!

My florist was a personal friend who also does art with pressed flowers. She offered to preserve my bouquet for me. 🥰

I had mine preserved in resin! It was actually my wedding present from my husband. I’m so happy with how it came out!

Definitely preserving mine up with resin into a square and ring holder✨

View Quoted Comment That's super kind of her! Let us know how it turns out!

View Quoted Comment This turned out beautiful!! Did you have it done through a local company? Or an Etsy/online shop?

View Quoted Comment I love this idea! Are you planning to have this done through an online company or a local company?

I put a pressed frame preservation as an item on my online registry through Zola, if I get it, great, if not, I'm not planning on paying for it myself lol

View Quoted Comment That's a cool idea to put the preservation frame on your registry!

View Quoted Comment A company called Soil and Soul did it! I sent them my bouquet and two bridesmaids bouquets to them via USPS the day after my wedding. I was pleasantly surprised with how nicely the flowers stayed, despite shipping/delays. They also offer an at-home, DIY kit to make a ring holder!

I didn't do anything with mine, but I do love some of these preservations. My sister in law had hers preserved, and they have it hanging in their hallway. It's remarkable, how well it kept!

View Quoted Comment Online company! Heart because it was more affordable than the local ones I found

I'm doing silk flowers so they will be preserved and I want to keep them as a keepsake! I
Mine will be similar to this, they look like fresh flowers but they're not :
Had I opted for real flowers , I would have considered Bailey & Rafe's idea lol, because I love it!

View Quoted Comment Good to know! Glad to hear everything turned out well!

View Quoted Comment I'm thinking I'll probably have mine preserved, if I can find a method I like and the pricing is right, lol. I've seen the picture frames with the preserved flowers arranged inside, and those can look so pretty! So I'll probably look for something along those lines. Awesome that your sister-in-law's bouquet kept well!

View Quoted Comment Nice!! Let us know how it turns out!

View Quoted Comment Silk flowers are definitely a great way to preserve the bouquet! That bouquet in the photo looks super pretty, I love the colors!
