What to Do with Your Wedding Flowers After the Big Day

Your wedding flowers symbolize a once-in-a-lifetime moment, and preserving them can keep those memories alive. Here’s a guide on creative ways to use your bouquet after your big day.

1. Preserve Your Bouquet in Resin

One of the most popular options is resin preservation. This method involves encasing your flowers in resin, preserving their shape and color. Whether you choose a block, dome, or jewelry pieces, resin allows you to keep your flowers forever.

2. Create a Floral Shadow Box

A shadow box is another elegant way to display your preserved flowers. This method allows you to arrange your bouquet alongside other wedding mementos, such as photos, invitations, or even your vows, for a personalized display.

3. Press Your Flowers for a Timeless Art Piece

Pressing your flowers is a delicate yet beautiful option. Flattened flowers can be arranged into frames, incorporated into thank-you cards, or used as custom wall art. This method can extend the lifespan of your flowers while giving you an opportunity to turn them into artistic keepsakes.

4. Turn Your Bouquet into Candles or Potpourri

If you prefer a more practical option, you can use your dried flowers to create scented candles or potpourri. This adds a nostalgic fragrance to your home and allows you to keep the memory of your wedding alive in a subtle way.

5. Repurpose Your Flowers for Charitable Causes

After your wedding, many brides donate their flowers to hospitals, hospices, or nursing homes. By repurposing your flowers, you can brighten someone else’s day while giving your bouquet a second life.
