    I had mine pressed and framed, they gave me the spares so I keep meaning to frame them for MIL and Mum. We got married nearly 5yrs ago and I've still not done that yet :o

  • I had some of the roses in mine made into a paperweight, looks beautiful when it catches the sunlight :)

    We put a rose from the OH Bouquet in between pages of a book and it is still there, 58 years on.
    I used to be indecisive but now I am not sure.
  • Really want mine preserving as a whole bought but might have to settle on just the paperweight as it's pretty expensive!!!

    That sounds like a great idea - where did you get it done?

    I had mine done by this company

    http://www.hafodgrange.co.uk/hgp5.htm

    It looks a bit like the red rose at the top but mine is a deep wine colour, they were pretty fast as my MIL posted it on the monday and it was back by the time we got back from our week in Rome. I'm pretty sure there are other companies that do it but these were the cheapest when i looked :)

    Brilliant suggestion, going to do this!!
    :rotfl:Ahahah got my signature removed for claiming MSE thought it was too boring :rotfl:
  • love the paper weights!!!! I'm gonna do that too. :T Thanks!!

    You know the problem with MSE is theres so many people who know of so many things (even if they're bargains!!) I end up buying things I wouldnt have if I hadnt come on the site :rotfl: ;) not so money saving after all :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
