I know it's been discussed on here before but way before I got to this stage of wedding prep! Can someone enlighten me please?! Smiley smile

    Hi,

    A couple of my brides preserved their bouquets. You have to send it off to a company within 24 hours after your wedding I think. They arrange to collect from you as well. The take pictures of the whole bouquet and then dismantle the bouquet. They out a preservative (glycerin?) in the each flower and then arrange the bouquet back. They now do this this in a variety of styles and often out them in frames.

    https://www.flowersforever.co.uk/ take a look at some of these for ideas

    My florists told me just to hang them upside down in the airing cupboard as a lot of these compnaies just use fresh flowers and preserve those and not YOUR actual bouquet....dont know how true this is but if I was going to spend so much money would want my actual bouquet floweres not some replacement....

    You can hang them upside down and the flowers will dry out. Ultimately this technique will produce crispy flowers bouquet. The other technique is preserving where a preservative is used.
