What to do with my bridesmaid bouquet?

I was in a wedding yesterday and my gorgeous bridesmaid bouquet is now sitting in my fridge. Any ideas on what I can do with it now that the wedding is over? It's so pretty it seems like a shame to just let it sit in my fridge until it dies.

What to do with my bridesmaid bouquet?
i hung my bridal bouquet upside down in a dry space for about a month. now i have it sitting in a vase :)
Reply:If you want to keep it you can dry it and make potpourri; maybe the bride would appreciate some in a sachet bag as a nice keepsake of the wedding. You can also donate them to a nursing home, hospital, or shut in. I'm sure they would enjoy some fresh flowers.
Reply:Dry it out. and use it as a centerpiece.
Reply:I would just put the flowers in a vase and enjoy them until they die. Unless for some reason this bouquet is super meaningful - then take a flower or two and press-or dry them.
Reply:1. Spray bouquet with extra stiff harispray. Be sure to coat the entire bouquet even the stim.


2. hang upside with a hanger and string in a closet somewhere with plenty of space.


3. let it dry for 2 weeks


4. purchase a keepsake display box that you can creativaley display in your home somewhere


5. Along with your homemade perserved flowers you can put maybe a picture of you at the wedding, the wedding napkin, etc.





**This works great, I have done this twice. Once for my wedding and the other time for my best friends wedding.
Reply:I like the answer above about drying it. There are also places that will preserve the bouquet, but I don't know how quickly something like that would have to be done. (I assume before the flowers really start to deteriorate. You could search online for "wedding bouquet preservation" or something like that.) But you're right, it does seem a shame to just throw it away.
Reply:Why don't you dry your bouquet? The colors get darker, but at least you would still have it and you can display it laying down on a shelf. Dry it upside down and spray hairspray on it. It helps the petals stay.
