Use your garden flowers in your wedding!

Q - I am a perennial gardener--I have daylilies, peonies, roses, etc...
I am also planning my wedding for September 2006...

I was wondering if there was a way I could save the petals from my garden flowers to use for my wedding walk down the aisle? Should I dry them by hanging them, or dry them in the refrigerator, or press them? What would you suggest?

A - What a special opportunity to use your own garden flowers in your wedding!

I suggest freeze drying the roses and peonies prior to your wedding, and you can actually carry them down the aisle.

The day lilies are more fragile, therefore I recommend that we freeze dry them after the wedding, and add them to your shadowbox, along with your roses and peonies for your lasting keepsake.
