What to Do With a Dried Wedding Bouquet: From Box to Beautiful Framed Art
If it’s January & your dried wedding bouquet is still sitting in a box or quietly gathering dust in a vase, you’re not alone. Many couples air-dry their wedding flowers with the best intentions, only for them to end up tucked away, forgotten, or fragile & fading.
The good news is that a dried wedding bouquet doesn’t have to stay unfinished. With a little care, it can become a beautiful piece of wedding keepsake artwork you can enjoy every day.
Why dried wedding bouquets often get forgotten
Drying your wedding flowers is an easy first step, but what comes next is often less clear. You hang them, wrap them carefully, or leave them in a vase, promising yourself you’ll deal with them later. Months go by, then years, and your bouquet sits quietly, collecting dust or losing its shape.
Over time, petals can fade, stems can break, and the flowers lose their original charm. That’s why many people start searching for ideas like “what to do with dried wedding flowers” or “wedding flower preservation tips.”

Turning dried wedding flowers into framed art
This is where pressed flower frames come in. I work with dried wedding bouquets, including ones that were air-dried at home. Through careful rehydration, pressing & arranging, each bloom is preserved & turned into a bespoke framed artwork that protects the flowers & showcases them beautifully.
Framed pressed flower art turns your dried wedding bouquet into a lasting keepsake. It’s protected behind acrylic glass, easy to display in your home, & ensures your wedding memories aren’t tucked away in a box. Each piece is unique, reflecting the style & personality of your original bouquet.
Is it too late to preserve a dried wedding bouquet?
Many brides worry it’s too late, especially months or years after the wedding. The truth is, most dried bouquets can still be preserved & transformed into pressed flower art. Some flowers press better than others, but even partial bouquets can become meaningful framed keepsakes.
If you’re unsure, it’s always worth asking. You don’t need perfectly stored flowers for this to work.
Why framed pressed flower art works so well
Framing dried wedding flowers gives them purpose. Instead of sitting in a box or vase gathering dust, your bouquet becomes a piece of art & a permanent reminder of your special day.
Pressed flower frames are practical, long lasting, & designed to fit naturally into your home décor. They’re a simple way to enjoy your wedding memories every day.
