After the wedding, there are a few lovely ways to handle the flowers:
Preserve Them: Consider drying or pressing your bouquet to create a lasting keepsake. There are services that specialise in flower preservation, or you can DIY by hanging them upside down in a cool, dark place.
Gift to Guests: Share the love by giving flowers to guests, family members, or friends who might appreciate them. It’s a thoughtful way to thank them for attending.
Decorate Your Home: Use some of the leftover flowers to brighten up your home. Arrange them in vases or place them in special spots around your living space.
Create a Floral Art Piece: If you’re crafty, consider creating a floral art piece using some of your flowers. You could make a wreath, a framed shadow box, or even a floral arrangement to display in your home.
