The bridal bouquet is much more than a simple accessory. It symbolizes love, elegance, and the union of two souls. For many brides, it's unthinkable to part with it after the wedding. So, how do you choose your bouquet well and preserve it to make it an unforgettable souvenir? Here are our tips.
Choosing a bouquet that matches your style
The choice of bouquet depends on several criteria:
- The style of the wedding: bohemian, rustic, romantic, elegant… Each atmosphere has its ideal bouquet.
- The shape of the bouquet: round, cascading, asymmetrical… Depending on your figure and your dress, some shapes are more suitable.
- The flowers: opt for resistant flowers if you want to keep them longer.
- The colors: harmonize your bouquet with your dress, your decoration, and even your jewelry.
Tips for preserving your bouquet after the wedding
There are several techniques to extend the beauty of your bouquet:
Drying your bouquet:Â
- Drying is one of the most popular methods for preserving a wedding bouquet.
- Air drying: Hang your bouquet upside down in a dry, dark place for 2 to 3 weeks.
- Silica gel drying: Speed up the process using silica gel, which absorbs moisture and better preserves colors.
- Pressing flowers: Ideal for framing a few flowers from your bouquet under glass.
Framing your bouquet
Once your bouquet is dried, you can integrate it into a frame to make it a unique wall decoration. The wedding bouquet frame is a superb option for displaying your memories without them collecting dust.
Transforming your bouquet into a keepsake jewel
Dried flowers can be used to create unique jewelry. A wedding bouquet pendant, a bracelet with dried flowers, or even a foliage ring allows you to wear a memory of your wedding every day. These artisanal jewels are perfect for immortalizing your big day.
