The one and only time I have been in a wedding was 16 years ago as a flower girl. My bouquet is preserved in a wooden shadow box my grandfather made. A rather deep box with a glass cover. I'm not exactly sure of the details on how it keeps the boquet but there's at least one idea to get you started! Have fun at the weddings!!!

Mr. 33 sent me roses for my last birthday and I hung them upside down to dry them. That was almost a year ago and they still look decent!! Also they are at my workplace where the air's drier in general.

Go to a craft store and ask for a booklet on it. There's silica gel beads that you can use either on their own, or in the microwave to preserve the bouquet.
Congratulations!!

Okay this sounds kind of weird, but buy a cheap bottle of hairspray (aqua net if possible) and just spray the heck out of it. It isn't going to smell like potpourri but it totally preserves the flowers so they don't fall off or wilt too much. I used to do this in high school and it works wonders!
