Are you going to/did you keep your bouquet to dry?

    After the wedding, I handed off my bouquet to one of my sisters and I was shocked when I visited home last week that it was sitting in a vase looking pretty bedraggled, to dry out!  I guess my sisters didn't want to waste all our hard work DIYing those bouquets...but I couldn't very well bring it on the plane home with me!

    I wouldn't have thought to keep it, but I wonder if sometime I'll be glad it didn't get thrown away.

    Did you keep your bouquet?  Or dry a flower or two from it?

    After Beagle did the post about the dried flower art (http://www.weddingbee.com/2009/07/20/bouquet-preservation-2/)

    I am smitten! I really want to do it if I can find room in the budget :) Not that I have even inquired about pricing haha

    I won't do it. It doesn't really go with our style in our house and I don't plan on using any type of flowers that will dry well.

    I just hung mine up from the dining room chandelier before we left for the honeymoon.  Two weeks later, voila!  Mine is sitting on top of a bookcase with other honeymoon/wedding souvenirs.
