Preserving Flowers - anyone done it?

Options
Hi,
I am thinking about having my bouquet and H2B's button hole preserved after our wedding in August. I wondered if anyone had done this, who they used and roughly what it had cost?

Thanks

    Could you press a few choice ones from your bouquet and your H2B's buttonhole yourself?

    Would make a lovely keepsake if you frame them :)

    My cousin gave me her bouquet when she got married, so I've pressed a few of the nicer flowers and will frame them to give back to her to say thank you. If you are framing them or storing them, remember to make sure any paper or card is acid free as it will preserve them longer.
