Wedding flowers?

Question

I recently got married, and at the moment my wedding flowers are in the fridge, but they cant stay there forever, i want to know how to keep them nice, when dried out so that i can keep them nicely presented, maybe even put it in a glass box of some kind.

Answer 1

It depends on how much you want to spend, of course, but here is an example of what a good friend of mine did with her wedding flowers....

Also, some local florists seem to have their own floral preservation companies they work with. I know that for our family funerals each grandchild/child gets a funeral rose out of the casket spray in a flat bottomed paperweight made of some sort of resin. They look quite nice, that might work for you, too.

Answer 2

Found a website that gives you some different ways to preserve them, and the approximate time each type of flower might take. Good luck! I hope it works.
