Preserving Wedding Bouquet in Silica Gel

Bianca, on November 4, 2019 at 12:37 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 2 4

Hello! I just got married this past Friday and have been interested in preserving my bouquet in silica gel. I've done a lot of research on how to do it, but i've only seen it done one way. That way is to preserve by separating each flower and cutting the stem to about 1-2 inches. I was wondering if anyone has preserved their whole bouquet in silica gel as is and if so, how much silica gel did you use to do so? Thanks!

    Hello! The day went very well and we had a great time! I have read that article that you linked above. In the beginning, I was thinking of hiring a professional but it is so expensive. I ended up using silica gel for my bouquet the way that I have researched. I hope it turns out good!

    I’m keeping it in the silica gel for one more week.
