Flower preservation

I ended up doing a faux bouquet for myself! No need to preserve it, and it sits in a vase on my dresser, best choice ever! It will always look the same, and hundreds of dollars cheaper too

I am preserving my bouquet, but not including the invitation or anything else so it might not scream "wedding". I am having it put in a frame so I can hang it on a wall. Not as useful as coasters or something like that, but I will considering it a one-of-a-kind piece of art that will put a smile on our faces everytime we see it.

I simply hung my bouquet upside down while we went on our honeymoon to dry them. Parts that were too messy (the grass) or didn't dry pretty (the feverfew) I tossed. I now have a dainty little dried bouquet of eucalyptus, yarrow, blue thistle, and olive branches tied with twine in my office that I can lovingly remember as my bouquet. It looks like a causal vase of dried flowers instead of a grand bridal bouquet, but I feel that fits the vibe of my home much better
