Wedding Bouquet Shadowbox

Since I received a lot of positive feedback on this creation, I felt it would be a good one to start off the blog with. My wedding bouquet had been sitting in a box for about 7 months since I got married and I always kind of regretted that I didn't get it preserved since it was so beautiful, however, since I had a destination wedding, I didn't have the time or proper way to preserve and store the bouquet until I got home. I thought I would just keep the bouquet in a box and that would be all I could do with it until one day I saw this idea on Pintrest (i'm an avid "Pintrester"). I immediately fell in love with the idea and had to try it. Much to my disappointment, when I went to look at my bouquet it was much more brown and dried up than the last time when I was looking at it, however, I decided to try it anyways and I think it still turned out fantastic! It might not be preserved perfectly and as white as it was on my big day but I still love it just as much because of the memories and feelings it brings to me when looking at it. I also made sure to use every piece of the bouquet including sparkly inserts that were in the bouquet and the purple ribbon wrapped around the stems. If you want to give this project a try, let me know and I can send you the directions I used and I'd love to see a final product picture!
