DIY: Preserve + Protect

My attention span for craft-like things is seemingly non existent, which is probably why it took me two months to even tempt the feat of  preserving our wedding flowers. 

Succulents from my bouquet and his boutonniere and were planted in pots.

Flowers and greenery hung to out dry -- my closet never smelled so wonderful.

With a Shadow Box (Hobby Lobby) and glue gun I wrapped the backing in the lace from my bouquet then glued on the flowers individually using a tutorial from Pinterest.

It turned out far better than I imagined and love having small touches around our home to remind us of that day.
