    So my wedding has come and gone, and I still have my bouquet, and the flowers have dried.  This friend of mine did this really cool thing with her bouquet after her wedding where flowers were flattened, freeze dried and framed.  I was going to do that but I guess this needs to be done literally right after the wedding and, well, too late for that!  Oops, on to the next idea...

    Does anyone have any crafty ideas for how to preserve the bouquet after the wedding?  If possible I'd prefer to keep the flowers intact (as opposed to making potpourri out of the petals)

    Maybe you could ask your florist.  I've seen things like this done before.

    I did try drying mine, but it just looked ugly and dead, so I tossed it.  I did put my grandmother's rosary on it, so that I still have as a keepsake.

    If you don't want to keep the whole thing, perhaps you could pick up a shadow box at the craft store and put some of the stems in it along with stuff like a wedding invite, program, etc. to make a memory box.
