Any Idea How to Preserve Fondant Flowers After the Wedding?

I've Googled and I can't find a decent answer short of "Just let it get hard with age and keep it out of sunlight" (so maybe that's the answer?) and I figured I'd ask WW because you all were a big help in the last year of planning (little over a week away!)

We're having something similar to the photo and I'd like to try and keep the branch (fondant and wire). Anyone know if there's a craft spray or something like mod podge that'd work? Or is it really as simple as letting it harden with age?

My daughter and I have always just hung them upside down for a couple of days then sprayed them with Aqua Net Hairspray... Let them hang a couple days longer than spray them again. That way your flowers don't look dead but they stay preserved.

Just let them dry out. I think the pp was talking about real flowers.
It's hard to totally dry fondant. That's why bakers use sugar paste or gum paste which dries as hard as porcelain.

^^I think she missed the part that these are FONDANT flowers.

I imagine just letting them air dry in a safe dry place, then spraying them with some kind of protectant would work but I honestly not sure if they would rot or decompose or whatever.
