How do I preserve my wedding bouquet made of roses?

Answer 1

You can use Silica Gel or Silica Sand which you can find at just about any craft store to preserve your bouquet. If you are not interested in DIY then you can have it freeze dried which leaves them the most realistic looking and believe that most florists preserve flowers as well. What ever you do you need to plan it in advance because you will need to get started right away.

Here is a site that lists a variety of preserving options. It will give you some idea of what you want to do.
