Dried Flower Wreaths

• Dried flower wreaths can add a touch of elegance to your home. Dry your flowers upside down prior to creating your wreath. Use a wreath form as a base; if necessary, add some additional foliage to help bolster your wreath. Slide the shortenned stems of the bouquet flowers into the wreath form and secure them with floral wire. Do not bend them, as they will break. Use floral wire to create a loop at the back of the wreath; hang the arrangement in your home.
  
  

Floral Bookmarks

• Pressed flowers make striking bookmarks. Place your bouquet's flowers between two sheets of blotter paper; put them inside a heavy book. After four weeks, remove the flowers and seal them between sheets of contact paper.
  
  

Elegant Stationery

• Consider sending each guest a thank you card graced with a flower from your wedding bouquet. Press, dry or preserve your flowers with silica gel; use a thin layer of paste to help seal the flowers to the covers of your cards. For stationery that is usable throughout the year, secure pressed flowers to the top corner of your stationery paper with a thin layer of glue.
  
  

Flower Portraits

• For blooms that retain their vibrance for years to come, place a selection of your flowers in charming photo frames. Look for neutral backgrounds of recycled paper to allow the flowers' vibrant hues to stand out. This method will allow your flowers to be displayed as art for years to come. Try pairing blooms together or creating flower collages. Such flowers may be framed after being dried, pressed or preserved with silica gel. Look for deep frames to accommodate unpressed flowers.
