I was in a wedding this weekend and I kind of want to keep my bouquet (I'm sort of a pack-rat, keepsake kinda person). But I just don't know what to do with them? Any unique ideas? Otherwise, if I just decide to dry them out, do I have to spray them with something or anything like that?

Well my suggestions is to dry out the flowers. All you have to do is hang them upside down in a dry area. With moderate light. I would them maybe take the pedals and put them in a scrap book. You could also put the pedals in a glass jar and place it in you bathroom for and accent and scent. You also could put them in a jar and pore wax or jell wax on them to make a candle.
Just have fun there are unlimited options.

Make a shadow box, or find a glass box. After the bouquet is dried, mount them in covered box. I have had bouquets for as long as 12 years and still counting. Cover the flowers or else they will get dusty.
Also, you could make potpourri out of the petals. Depending on what kind of flowers they were, you could make petal beads. Also, you can pound the flowers on fabric ( google flower pounding) to make fabric for pillows or quilts.

contact your florist, they have a siica based product that will preserve them to look as if they were just cut.

turn them upside down, tied, and let them dry
