For the last few months/ since we got married, my bouquet had been hanging and drying in my mum's attic. She's made some really nice baubles for us - clear shapes with flowers from the bouquet inside, but obviously they weren't big enough for all of the flowers to go in. I want to use the rest of my bouquet somehow but not sure how, Mum says the roses haven't dried particularly well but I don't want to chuck them. Anyone got any ideas? xxxx

My bouquet was 100% roses and just simply didn't dry out and ended up just going off and had to be thrown out

Had our dream perfect honeymoon in Hawaii!
There's a site that can turn them into jewellery! I plan on taking mine to the crematorium to lay in the garden where my grandparents and uncles ashes are scattered.

That's a lovely idea <3 Been up in Mum's loft and they seem to be definitely useable in some form - I'll have a think! xxxx

I don't know if this would be everyone's cup of tea as it's not much of a visually obvious keepsake but if you have a garden you could plant a flower or small tree and use scatter the petals in the soil as compost. Then you'll always have a plant or tree that was brought to life by your wedding flowers :)

I let some of my flowers dry out and others I had pressed. The rest of the bouquet I took to my Nan's grave and put it on there - just made me feel like I had included her in some way.

That's a lovely idea too. I put a couple from my bouquet on my grandma's grave the day after the wedding too, had to be done I think :-) xxxx

I just separated all of the individual flowers and hung them upside down in the loft. Mum managed to get some tape to stick along the side and to stick the stems too, but it all seems to have dried out OK! xx
