3 Easy Ways to Dry Your Own Wedding Bouquet
3 Easy Ways to Dry Your Own Wedding Bouquet
If you’ve ever looked into the cost of preserving a flower arrangement, you know it isn’t the kind of purchase you can take lightly. Professional preservation can cost several hundred dollars, and the stress of delivering your wedding bouquet before taking off for your honeymoon can be enough to give even the calmest of brides a major headache.
Luckily, there are ways you can dry your own bouquet without breaking the bank and without having to even leave the house (but we’d still suggest enlisting your most trusted bridesmaid for the job).
Method No. 1: Silica-Drying
Silica-drying is by far the most difficult method, but with a finished product that looks almost identical to the original bouquet, we feel it’s worth a little extra effort.
Method No. 2: Pressing

Method No. 3: Air-Drying
