People always advise that you keep your bridal bouquet after your wedding for sentimental reasons. However, what do you actually do with it after the big day? It’s not like your bouquet can sit on a shelf and look pretty.

This blog will teach you how to reuse or repurpose your bridal bouquet after the wedding ceremony has ended.

Whether or not you choose to have a vase of flowers at the end of your aisle as part of your wedding décor or have some other special place where you want to display your bouquet after the ceremony, here are some ideas to help you make the most out of this beautiful token of love.

Turn Your Bouquet Into A Keepsake

If you have a beautiful bridal bouquet with sentiments, why not turn it into a keepsake that you can treasure for years to come?

This is an excellent way to transform it from a one-off item to a memorable keepsake that you can look at any time and be taken back to that particular day.

There are many ways to turn your flowers into a keepsake, such as creating a dried flower bouquet, freeze-drying it, pressing your bouquet, making an oil or water-based bouquet, or even turning your bouquet into a piece of jewelry, such as a ring or pendant.

Table Centerpiece

Whether you opt for a dried or fresh bouquet, your bridal bouquet is an excellent table centerpiece.

If your bouquet is still fresh, simply press a couple of stems between the pages of a book and leave them there until they are dry.

If you have a dried bouquet that you would like to repurpose as a table centerpiece, simply add a vase to the flower arrangement.

You’ll have a beautiful centerpiece that you can use repeatedly.

Create a bouquet of dried flowers

If you have a sentimental bouquet that you’d like to keep but still fresh, you can make it a beautiful dried bouquet. Bouquets that are pressed are very easy to maintain and last for years. Commonly, people like to press wedding flowers because they are sentimental and want to keep them for years to come. If you want to press your fresh bouquet, the best way is to put the flowers between two board pieces and weigh them down. Press your bouquet for as long as you want, but at least 2 weeks.

Frame and Mount Your Stems

If you have a beautiful bouquet that you’d like to keep, but it is still fresh, you can frame and mount your stems.

This is a great way to show your bouquet and have it a lasting reminder of your special day.

Reliant on the type of frame you choose and the type of flowers in your bouquet, the method of framing and mounting will vary.

You can also create a tracker box with your bouquet and include your wedding invitations, program, and keepsakes to create a unique display.

Make a Floral Headband or Brooch

You can create a floral headband or floral brooch if you have a beautiful bouquet. This is a great way to transform your bouquet into something you can continue wearing daily.

Reliant on the type of flowers in your bouquet, the method of creating your floral headband or floral brooch will vary.

For example, if you have roses in your bouquet, you can create a beautiful rose-based headband or brooch.

Alternatively, if you have a bouquet with carnations, you can create a beautiful flower headband or brooch.
