Why this?
Bouquet Drying Silica
Our pick: wisedry Silica Gel Flower Drying Crystals, 5 lb
Professional preservation costs several hundred dollars; a tub of silica dries the whole bouquet in about a week with its colour intact. It has to start within two or three days of the wedding, so buy it before and leave it with whoever takes the bouquet home. Five pounds does one bridal bouquet.
