I Don't Want to Say Goodbye to My Wedding Bouquet＊

Throughout the wedding ceremony, the bride always carries her wedding bouquet ♡

Many brides put a lot of thought into ordering their bouquet, considering what flowers would be good and if it matches their dress, and as their wedding approaches, they grow attached to it and feel they don’t want to say goodbye to it... which is very common among brides＊

Additionally, watching the fresh flower bouquet slowly wilt can be quite painful...

For those brides who cherish their bouquet, we recommend turning it into an after-bouquet!

Here are 6 Ways to Make an After-Bouquet＊

An after-bouquet involves preserving the fresh flower bouquet by pressing the flowers or turning them into dried flowers for semi-permanent storage＊ There are several preservation methods available!

More and more people are displaying their after-bouquets as home decor or giving them as gifts to their parents, and these have become very popular among new couples who found it worthwhile to do this ♡

So, this time, we will introduce 6 types of after-bouquets!

Type 1 of After-Bouquet: Pressed Flower Bouquet

The classic after-bouquet idea ♡ This involves pressing the flowers from the bouquet and framing them for preservation＊

The charm of a pressed flower bouquet is that you can arrange the shape to create something like Mickey Mouse, or include ribbons and pearls along with the flowers♡

Type 2 of After-Bouquet: Flower Bottle Light

The next after-bouquet method to introduce is drying the flowers and packaging them in a bottle ♡ It is also famously known as a flower bottle light＊

Dried flowers in a clear bottle look absolutely lovely and are full of a natural feel♩

Type 5 of After-Bouquet: Botanical Candle

Botanical candles, which include natural flora within the wax, are also a type of after-bouquet ♡ Since you only need to pack the petals, it's nice that this method can be remade more affordably compared to other after-bouquets＊

Type 6 of After-Bouquet: Wreath

Finally, the last method we’re introducing is turning the flowers from the bouquet into dried flowers for a wreath arrangement as an after-bouquet ♡ This adds a perfect touch of brightness to home decor＊

Once turned into dried flowers, wreaths can be reused for various types of decor, which is a wonderful feature! ♡
