What to do with a real flower bouquet after the wedding??

House decor until it dies, that's my plan lol.

Can you freeze it or dry it? I'm not sure. I haven't thought about this yet1

I saw a really cute idea on pintrest you can get it dried out then put it in a shadow box with a picture in the background or next to it

I've also seen on pinterest (girl's best friend!!) using the dried flowers in a Christmas (or holiday) ornament.

Angela, is there a way to post that link?

Yea! when i get to my computer at home ill post it ((im at work now so i cant get to my pintrest))

Ok, thank you

I put mine in short vase until it died.

Someone recently put hers in an ornament :-) Super cute idea

I just hung mine upside down until it dried. Now it's in a vase where I can see it but no one can touch it.

Oooo, I LOVE that, Angela!!! I'll probably skip the photo for symmetry, but that's GORGEOUS

Im glad!! I love it too, i think im going to do the same Its such a nice thing to keep i think!

I saw a great idea on Pinterest...I'm going save the petals in an ornament! That way every year we can enjoy those really pricey florals lol

Edit: a few peeps have posted this lol...you can also use strips of your invite curled up and ticket in with them too! I did this for a friend and made her glitter balls that coordinated too.

We gave one of our bouquets to the one guest who was local to the area, and the other to the staff of the synagogue where we were married.

My FMIL has her's freeze dried in a glass bell jar. My mother took petals and pressed them into her wedding album.

I just got this idea for book fans.... how about pressing some petals onto cardstock then putting them in a laminating envelope and laminating them??

I just did the ornament idea myself a few days ago. Some rose petals, some of the little extra charms my florist added, and my bouquet charm with my brothers picture went in it. The rest of the bouquet is going in the garbage, sadly

There is a company called Freeze Frame and bloom beads. It's expensive, but I want at to do at least my bouquet. Also if you're going to just throw them away, my sister works at a nursing home, and the residence love when they get "just because flowers". going to do this with the rest.

Wow, these are some awesome ideas! I tossed mine in the bouquet toss so I wouldn't have to worry about it. No idea what the woman who caught it did with it.
