Or
2. Speak to a professional.
I recommend speaking to a professional and get your bouquet freeze dried. Preserves the colours and structure of your bouquet.
The best way to preserve your bouquet is by using a specialist wedding flower preservation company. The Flower Factory on the Gold Coast. They have a very comprehensive web site which takes you through the process. I have one in my show room done by them about 8 years ago and it still looks amazing.

Choose artificial bouquets and you will have an everlasting bouquet. Many brides choose posy or unstructured styles and they make a beautiful display in the home afterwards. If you are choosing fresh be sure to lock in someone that can preseve them by making prior arrangements to give you the best look.
Best of Luck for your special day, Karen

the easiest way is to not be restrictive with the blooms you ask for, so 'seaonal blooms' will give you best value for money as opposed to requesting something like David Austin roses or peonies. colour is irrelevent (most of the time) and also be open to foliage also as it is usually less expensive (for the florist to purchase) and will give you a larger bouquet at a reduced cost. Take into consideration though that your bouquet will feature in all of your photos so try not to skimp too much, skimp somewhere else that wont be a constant reminder. also remember that the labour is a large proprtion of the cost of your bouquet, most non florists have no idea of how labour intensive floristy is. Hope this helps.
Kind regards Letisha

Long time presivation can be done with a freeze dried process, they are arranged into a 3D type frame & look stunning.
That is a very expensive process.
Short term hang your bouquet upside down in a very dry place for a few weeks. the flowers will dry & also change colour
Remember it must be a very dry area . Good luck.
Never store in the freezer
