Question

[workin hard]

I have dried out my wedding bouqet ( which I loved) and I'm not sure what to do with it. One option is that you can send it away and get a rosary made out of the petals. Anyone ever hear of this?

Aren't you supposed to throw that into a crowd of desperate single chicks sometime during the festivities?

I think it was Jabba who had a beautiful hutch or something where she displayed all her wedding items ... pictures, Bride/Groom glasses, cake knife, bouquet, etc. which I think is a really good idea to serve as a reminder for when you're pissed off about something your spouse does/says .... you walk by, remember that day and I imagine it'd bring things into perspective. Just a thought.

What are you going to do with a rosary? Get real WH.

My MIL dried mine and put it in a beautiful crystal vase that had a top. I have it on a table in my living room. It still looks pretty after 14 years.

I didn't want to preserve mine because I didn't now what the eff I'd do with it. But I loved it and didn't want to let go so I decided to make it in to potpourri, which, by the way, I have no idea how to do, so my mom took it apart and set it out to dry. It's all dried up now, and it doesn't smell anymore. So I smoked it.

If I'm not mistaken brides usually have two. One to throw into the crowd (usually smaller) and one to keep

I'd going to do that too but my bouquet is so fragile with it being dried out I don't know how well it withstand time.

Could you frame it, kinda' like a shadow box type thing?

Spray it with shellac - should withstand the test of time!

WH,

Did you make a decision yet? I'd like to know what you end up doing with it.

Did you dry it out yourself or professionally? When you did it, did you remove the flower heads from the stems? I read that professional bouquet dryers/restorers disassemble the bouquet, remove the flower heads and use a floral wire to create 'strength' and keep the flowers from falling off, and re-arrange the bouquet as it first was. You may still be able to do this ... it'll take some time, but if you really wanna do it, it would be a nice project.

I know they do this after funerals. There are nuns who do the flower drying and pressing into beads. My sister had one made. You could try calling a funeral home to find out about this or maybe a florist might be able to give you a number.

I think I'm going to do the rosary thing because it is something that I can keep with me forever.

Also since I dried it out myself I think it is really my only option ya know.

That would be something nice that you can pass on to your future generations
