Just about every bride out there wants to save her bouquet, but the tradition of tossing the bouquet and the fact that most flowers simply don’t survive very long, it can be a real challenge.

The first thing that you can do to save your bouquet for all time is to have your bouquet made from silk flowers. While this is a perfectly acceptable solution, you just don’t get the smell of fresh cut flowers as you walk down the isle. For those of you looking to have real flowers in your bouquet there is a solution for you as well.

Freeze dried flowers. You can have your bouquet freeze dried in most towns. Freeze drying removes the moisture from the flowers allowing them to last for years to come. The only problem with freeze drying is that it needs to be done as soon as possible after the wedding and it can also take white roses and give them an ivory hue.

Finally, the bouquet toss. Why not use a stunt double bouquet? Have a second bouquet made that closely resembles your wedding bouquet, or even an identical bouquet, that you can feel glad to toss to the single ladies at your wedding.
