If by "save" you mean that you want to dry them, you should hang them upside down in a warm dry room for a couple of weeks. I usually use my laundry room as the heat from the dryer keeps it nice and warm. If you try to dry them without hanging them upside down, the heads will droop. I would also recommend untying them and spreading them out to dry, that way you lessen the chance of mold growing.
I have no idea how to preserve your bouquet but CONGRATS on the wedding! Can't wait to hear all about it!
You can use silica sand to dry them but for a bouqet you need a massive amount which I'm not sure is worth it. I didn't end up getting enough and some of the flowers dried up and drooped. Didn't help that I didn't think of preserving them until about a week later. You might want to put the flowers in the fridge until you preserve them to keep them from wilting.
I think we are all excited to see the details from your wedding! I'm not sure how to preserve flowers so they look alive but you can dry them upside down (as suggested), I've done this so many times.
Congratulations! Did everything go off without a hitch? Can't wait to hear & see more!
Your best bet is to hang them upside down, but there is something out there that florists know of... they freeze dry the flowers & it preserves them perfectly for years to come. The look more fresh than the at home version of drying your bouquet.
Woo hoo, congrats on your wedding!
As for your bouquet, gotta love eHow, lol: http://www.ehow.com/how_17607_preserve-wedding-bouquet.html

tie ribbon around then and hang them upside down and spray hairspray on them. This will dry them out and help them keep their petals. Put them somewhere where they wont get squashed. I have done this many time with roses and they have turned out great. After word i put them in my antique vase.
I thought about saving mine and was in the process of drying them. But pollen and seeds and crap got everywhere, so I asked myself, what am I really going to do with this? And I threw it away.

I have a big tied bunch of roses and I am wondering how I can save them so that maybe I can have them in a vase or something! I love them.
Do you know? I left a message with my florist.
Thank you.
