Flower Preservation: 10 ways to enjoy your wedding flowers forever

One of our most popular posts describes how to preserve your wedding bouquet. Since that was written I have seen some wonderful ideas to display them forever, as a lovely keepsake. The easiest way is to press them and then frame them but I am loving some of these more unusual ideas.

I love these domes or cloches filled with your dried bouquet. The glass will protect them from dust or breakages and they will look so pretty sitting on a dressing table. These are by Save My Bouquet.

I don’t know about you, but I never leave the house without my phone! So why not take your wedding flowers with you! You can buy one through Etsy such as this one, or why not make your own as featured on the Capture By Lucy blog.
