I cant believe there isnt already a thread for this? ~I did look......
anyone else doing this? I am sending mine to some lovely ladies and they will preserve my bouquet and h2b button hole and then put the button hole and one peony from my bouquet into a paperweight and then mount the rest of my bouquet into a frame so i can have it forever more!
even better is they only charge £35 now and you pay the rest about 6 weeks after your wedding when the flowers are ready. (they also do free pick up of your flowers from Glasgow airport if any Scottish girls are interested, shame I am flying out from inverness so have courier them down to Glasgow)

sounds good, how much is it after the £35 deposit? x
CommentAuthorlinzi
the company I am using charge about £65 for a paperweight, then for the size of posie I have about £185 to be mounted into a frame. There are loads of companies in the UK that do it, and the prices are all roughly about the same. Some mount onto jewellery boxes, acrylic cubes, or whatever you want!

I love the idea of the paperweight, we're having white roses so would be fab to have a big white rosefrom h2b's button hole and another flower from my bouquet! will be having a search, thank you x
Linzi will you send me the details of who you are using please? I have been looking into this so would like to find a company that someone else has found. I'm in Newcastle but have Scottish family so can send the bouquet with them x

its ********************. Its two sisters that run the company, and they are lovely ladies! Just stick the name in google. There are loads of companies in England so sure you will find one close. Although most of them say that so long as the flowers are with them within 2 weeks its ok, so plenty time to send them anywhere in the UK. Although sooner the better obviously.
Details on your wall please not in the forum, please read the rule thread thanks mods

I have been having a look at this but it looks like its £200 plus which seems a lot when the bouquet only cost £60 :(

Yeah I looked into this (even tho im having silk lol) and the cheapest I found was £130 and as my bouquet doesnt cost half that I think i'll give it a miss! It is a good idea tho just shame they charge so much

I might make my own paperweight using resin. My SIL makes them so may have a practice and see how it looks.
CommentAuthorNicsquared
Good idea - the paperweights seem to be around £80 but you only get one or two flowers - they do freeze dry the flowers first though i think!
