How do you make a wedding bouquet that will last?

Question

I still have mine after 45 years. A lady made it for me out of a very thin white foam-type material with lace, ribbons, and assorted tiny flowers in a plastic nosegay. It was, and is still pretty, though the white flowers have turned more of a tan color. It smelled wonderful too, but no longer has that smell. Does anyone know how to do this?

I had mine made by a friend with silk flowers, red roses, greens and white baby's breath. I still have mine too (22 years - second marriage) I also have my hubby's boutonniere which is a white rose bud.

If there a live flowers in them, they sell a silica gel kit for drying out and preserving your wedding bouquet.

Most use silica gel these days, but there are also professional services to do this for you.... like Etsy has some, or ask your wedding shop.

If you want to air dry it, you get best color preservation from hanging upside down in a dark area like the rafters of the garage.

I used to make them! Get in touch with a Florist and she should be able to make one for you, and would be able to discuss your requirements with you and make up even something you have designed, .especially for you......
