By using silica gel\u2014the little sachets you find in a new handbag\u2014you can easily preserve your flowers by putting them in an airtight container and covering them. Silica gel can be bought from any craft store, and is great for retaining the shape and colour of your wedding flowers. However, there\u2019s the risk of toxicity from the sachets, so make sure to use rubber gloves during the process. Fill a container with the gel and place your flowers on top, then cover with more gel until the flowers are covered. Seal the container and place in a dark, dry place. This is a quick method for the impatient or those heading for their honeymoon, as it only takes a few days to preserve the flowers.<br \/><br \/>By comparison, preserving your wedding flowers in wax isn\u2019t a permanent solution\u2014it will only prolong their life by 6 months. To do this, you\u2019ll need paraffin wax and a saucepan or, for a more natural version, use soy wax, which is derived from vegetables. Melt your choice of wax in boiling water before dipping the flowers heads in\u2014they only need to stay in the water for a short time before being removed. Once your wedding flowers have been dipped, simply hang them upside down for the wax to dry.\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":20} -->\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:ay\/text {\"text\":\"Take your flowers to be freeze-dried\",\"fontSize\":\"medium\"} -->\r\n<h3 class=\"text-block text-size-medium col-1\" >Take your flowers to be freeze-dried<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:ay\/text -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":20} -->\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:ay\/text {\"text\":\"If you\u2019re ready to set off for your honeymoon, chances are you won\u2019t have the time for a DIY method.

It\u2019s as simple and easy as it sounds. This method traditionally works better for larger flowers such as sunflowers or peonies. To hang-dry your flowers, tie the stems together with wire or string, and hang them upside down in a cool dark place like a wardrobe or cupboard. Keep them away from direct sunlight, as this will cause the colours to fade, and don\u2019t forget to check on them at regular intervals. When your flowers are dry, spray them with hairspray to add extra protection, and to stop them crumbling.\u00a0That&#8217;s the simplest way to preserve flowers.<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":50} -->\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:ay\/text {\"text\":\"Cover in Silica gel or wax\",\"fontSize\":\"medium\"} -->\r\n<h3 class=\"text-block text-size-medium col-1\" >Cover in Silica gel or wax<\/h3>\r\n<!-- \/wp:ay\/text -->\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:spacer {\"height\":20} -->\r\n<div class=\"wp-block-spacer\" style=\"height: 20px;\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\u00a0<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<!-- wp:ay\/text {\"text\":\"There are other methods of preserving your wedding flowers that can be done at home.
