Articles on gifts and other wedding items 1 Preserving Wedding Flowers A Perfect Wedding Day Nearly every bride will want to preserve the memory of her wedding day. And great wedding photographs do the job perfectly. But it isn’t only beautiful snapped shots that can have you remembering your all important day, over and over again. Did you know that, these days, it’s also possible to preserve your bouquet of wedding roses, by taking apart and pressing the petals? So your wedding souvenir can be even more substantial. Here are a few quick tips on how best to preserve your wedding roses. Leave enough time It’s advisable to let a professional preserve your roses, especially if you’re anxious about doing it yourself. It’s crucial that you make the decision to preserve your flowers in advance of the wedding date. This is because nearly ever method of proper preservation requires that the treatment begin no later than one to four days after the wedding. It’d be unfortunate if you missed out on such a wonderful chance. Also, do keep in mind that some methods of preservation take days, even months to complete. You will need to consider how you want to monitor the process, personally or not. How to preserve your bouquet If you want the preserved flowers to look as realistic as possible, choose to have your bouquet freeze-dried. The elements of the bouquet are taken apart, freeze-dried separately, and then put back into the original arrangement. If you want a more decorative result, you can opt to have your flowers pressed and then framed. As when freeze-dried, the bouquet is taken apart and then rearranged into a pretty shape for the picture. Though the flowers will be flattened, it is possible to achieve the original silhouette of the bouquet. Be aware that whereas freeze-drying takes about three to four weeks to complete, pressing and framing takes longer, from eight to ten weeks. Pick your roses well! The most useful tip that can be given is also the most obvious: choose your bouquet of roses well. That means choosing a great provider, one who either creates innovative arrangements or lets you put the arrangement together yourself. Visit Interflora’s website for some beautiful arrangements of roses for weddings. Check out the wedding day rose hand-tied or the “Essence” bouquet if you’re after something classic. If you want to put together your bouquet yourself, with Interflora, you can receive the advice of expert florists. So you can be sure that in personalising your bouquet, you can make it the best it can be. When considering gifts for all occasions do not forget photography. A portrait session can make a perfect gift whether a portrait of the recipient or perhaps a family portrait or portraits to give to the grandparents. Majken has often had wedding commissions where the photography is a gift or the couple upgrade a photography gift to the cover they want. If photography itself is the interest to the bride or groom consider gifting a one to one photography tutorial or a series of tutorials. Majken can support such gifts with a gift certificate.
