How to freeze dry wedding bouquet?

I just got married, and my bouquet was real (fresh). I want to try to perserve the flowers, any ideas on how to freeze dry the flowers?

How to freeze dry wedding bouquet?
The Bouquet



Flowers can be dried, turned into potpourri or individually pressed within the pages of a book. To properly preserve a bouquet, don’t delay, begin the drying process before leaving on your honeymoon.



Turn the bouquet upside down and hang it in a dry, dark place for about two weeks. By that time it should be completely dried out and ready to decorate a wall or shelf.



To make potpourri, remove fresh petals and place in a bowl out of sunlight, for about 2-3 weeks. After the petals are dry, add a drop or two of floral-scented potpourri oil.



Pressed flowers or just the petals can be used to adorn the pages of a wedding album, placed in a picture frame or used on stationery. Cut fresh flowers close to the base and place them inside a folded piece of wax paper. Then, place it all within the pages of a heavy book. Check back in two weeks.
Reply:I don't think you want to freeze dry them but simply preserve them. Ask at the florist where the bouquet was made or at another garden-type store. There are products you can use to preserve fresh flowers. If the flowers aren't still fresh (2 days) perhaps you can have a duplicate made from silk flowers?
