Thousands of years ago, people used fragrant and colorful flowers to make beads to be worn as adornment or strung together to make a necklace or bracelet. During the Middle Ages, the fragrant beads made from rose petals were strung together into a garland of roses, better known as rosaries. Happily, the art of turning flowers into jewelry has not disappeared and is being used now to preserve special events and moments. Bridal bouquet preservation jewelry is the best way to keep the magic of your special day close to you.

You can also have a professional artist do this for you. Check the internet and bridal fairs to meet consultants that will either guide you or provide their services for a fee.

The norm has been to preserve the flowers along with other keepsakes from a wedding inside a frame for display on a wall or on a desk. Also, many brides have dried the petals then placed them inside clear glass ornaments to be used during the holidays.
