Pressing the bouquet

jdvhsully

My daughter has gone off on honeymoon today after getting married yesterday and as she was leaving said could I get her bouquet pressed / preserved.

Having brought it home with me, I cannot find anyone local.

Does anyone know either anyone in Milton Keynes or it's area. Or suggestions of how to do it myself?

Why not do it yourself?
My Mum dismantled my bouquet and hung all the flowers upside down in the garage (using ceiling hooks, bamboo sticks and string!) for 6 weeks, and then glue gunned the best ones into a 3D / Deep / Box picture frame, with an invitation, ribbon and some co-ordinating confetti in the background.

Frame was a bit like this one (£20):

It was a lovely gift. The only thing is flowers and stems get progressively more brown as the years pass, even if they are dried / pressed.

Good luck!
