Dried Floral Wedding Bouquets

Brides know best that one of the most important parts of the wedding is the wedding bouquet. Besides the fact that a bridal bouquet can add more beauty, naturalness, fragrance, elegance and style to the bride’s look, the wedding bouquet plays a greatest role in the bride’s life.




The wedding bouquet can be preserved after the wedding and kept as a souvenir or as a sweet wedding memory. That is why you have to be very careful when you chose the wedding bouquet. Every woman gets emotionally attached to her wedding bouquet and wishes to keep it all her life, as a memorable piece of the time she was bride. This thing is now possible, with so many ways and methods to dry or freeze the wedding bouquet for a more safe preservation.

A dried floral wedding bouquet can be preserved or arranged in many styles and ways, depending on the personal style, vision and preference of each bride in part. Whether you choose to preserve the whole wedding bouquet or simply choose only a few stems of the floral arrangement in loving wedding memory, the result will definitely satisfy your expectations. Most of the brides who choose to keep a dried floral wedding bouquet in their homes as a wedding symbol usually are going for the box frame arrangement that allows them to hang the dried floral wedding bouquet on the walls of their house. Those who choose only a few stems of the wedding bouquet usually opt for a frame print or a bookmark keepsake offered as a wedding favor to close friends or relatives.

If you have the necessary money to hire a specialist to create your dried floral wedding bouquet, don’t hesitate. He will arrange the bouquet just the way you want. But there are a couple of ingenious and creative ways to make your own dried floral wedding bouquet. One of the most efficient methods used by professional preservers is the freeze drying method. This is an expensive method that can cost you somewhere about $100-$200.

If you’re wondering what are the types of flowers that can be preserved using this method, we can tell you that calla lilies, orchids, tuberoses, bird of paradise, gardenia or narcissus are the most popular types of flowers that can be dried using only the freeze method. If your wedding bouquet is composed of lilacs or chrysanthemums use another type of drying because the freeze method won’t do.

Other methods of creating a dried floral wedding bouquet are using an air drying method, a silica gel or a microwave method. You should know that not all the wedding bouquets can be preserved through the time, especially if the types of flowers you used are more fragile, delicate and sensitive. Therefore, if the wedding bouquet wasn’t in such a good shape after the wedding, the chances of drying up and obtain a good result are minimal.
