DIY Wedding Flower Preservation: A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Hang and Dry

First things first, hang your flowers upside down in a dry, dark place. This could be a closet, attic, or even a rarely-used corner of your house. Leave them there for a few weeks until they're completely dry. Remember, patience is key here!

Step 2: Arrange and Frame

Once your flowers are dry, it's time to get creative. Arrange them in a shadow box or frame them. Play around with the arrangement until you love what you see. This is your chance to let your inner artist shine!

Step 3: Add Personal Touches

Why stop at flowers? Consider adding other elements from your wedding like your invitation or a piece of your veil to the shadow box. This will make your keepsake even more personal and special.
