Is Saving Your Bouquet a Big Deal?

It’s almost been a month since I got married. My mother took some of the bouquets home and I took mine and a corsage home. I’m stupid and with my crazy life forgot I put them in a box. I’m cleaning and see them all moldy and brown in a box. My mom just hung up the bouquets so while they are in better conditions...they aren’t great. Is it really a big deal to save/preserve your flowers? I think it’s a lovely idea, but as you can see I probably won’t be able to do anything. I didn’t know if there was such thing as having a duplicate made in silk? Or should I just forget about it if it’s really not a huge deal. My wedding was in SC and I’m in VA and we are moving soon far away with the military. I also have my wedding dress I haven’t touched yet. I feel like I need some advice...

I'll be donating my left over flowers and bouquets after the wedding to a VA hospital. Honestly as pretty as they are, they're just flowers. I'm sure you have a picture of them somewhere to remember them by.

I really think it's up to you and what you deem important. If pictures are enough for you, then I wouldn't worry about it!
If you want a replica somewhere in your home, I'm sure you could bring a picture somewhere and get it made in silk like you said.
I'm saving mine, but I don't have to do anything special to it because it's all fake flowers! I'm just going to get a nice vase to put them in and make it a centerpiece on my table or something similar, and then when I get my shadow box made, I'll probably put it near there.

I saved mine but only because my mom thought about holding onto it for me. we dried it out and i do still have it in a vase in the den. i'm sure i'll toss it eventually but for now it's nice to have. our BMs took theirs home to continue to enjoy and we gave away a bunch of our other florals (mostly potted herbs and little orchids) as favours so people could take them home to enjoy.

I wanted to save mine but we are getting married in Vegas and we live in Ohio so clearly we can't safely bring them back.
