Preserve Your Wedding Bouquet

Chances are you put a lot of time into choosing your bouquet. You can preserve this detail and cherish it forever. While you can try to DIY, this is probably something you want to have professionally done.

Turn Your Bouquet Into Candles

Finding the room for the preserved bouquet might be difficult for some. Instead, try turning the flowers into memory candles! Some candles can even be designed to illuminate using a disposable oil burner, so you will never actually lose the flowers within the wax.

Get Crafty With Corks

DIY wall hangings with the corks from your wedding can be a fun activity to do with your new spouse! There are so many things you can make. Why not start with the first initial of your new last name? Or try making matching Mr. and Mrs. signs.

Take a scrap piece of lace from your dress or veil and make it into something you can wear everyday. This can become a family heirloom to pass down to your children, so even if they don't wear your exact dress for their own wedding, they can still wear a piece of it.
