My advice is to always use a professional _ we always recommend Bouquets Forever_ they do a great job- You must realize though that it will not look exactly the same as the day.....

Hi,
Depending on which state you are in there are professional companies that can preserve your bouquet and they have the techniques to help retain the colours of your flowers. However if you wish to preserve your own you will need to hang your bouquet upside down to help the flowers dry straight. Keep it in a dry, sheltered spot away from mositure and draughts for several weeks. Good luck!

Hi there,
To dry your own bouquet you will need to hang it upside down with twine or string in
A cool dry place. Once it has been hanging for a couple of weeks, give it a light spray with some hair spray.
Your flowers will darken and become a lot smaller than your original fresh bouquet.

There are some folk who specialise in freeze dry bouquets, that is an expencive process but beautiful
Your bouquet is treated then put in a 3D frame & looks stunning.
Alternativly, hang your bouquet upside down in a very dry dark place for a few weeks, the flowers will shrink a little and change colour. It is very importent to be sure you atore in a very dry area. NEVER PUT THEM IN THE FREEZER.
Good luck
