JerseyGirl in Wedding Attire, on March 24, 2017 at 4:45 PM

Bouquet- What to do after?
JerseyGirl in Style and Décor, on February 24, 2017 at 5:40 AM

What are you doing with your bouquet after the wedding? I kinda want to find a way to save it if possible but I don't know how feasible this is. What else do you do with it?
