What are some inexpensive ways to preserve a wedding bouquet?
When you say you want an inexpensive way to preserve your bouquet, it
will depend on what type of flowers are in the bouquet and how well they dry.
The least expensive way is to hang the bouquet upside down in a dark place and
let it dry naturally. Then, spray it with an acrylic
spray made for dried flowers to keep the petals form falling off.
You can also purchase silica gel to use for drying. Place the bouquet
carefully in a box with silica gel under the bouquet. Then, carefully
pour more silica gel in, taking care to get it in between the petals and
around each flower. Cover completely. Clean sand can also be used in
place of the silica gel. When dry, spray with the preservative spray.
