Why Bridal Bouquet Preservation Jewelry Is A Great Idea

By

Thousands of years ago, people used fragrant and colorful flowers to make beads to be worn as adornment or strung together to make a necklace or bracelet. During the Middle Ages, the fragrant beads made from rose petals were strung together into a garland of roses, better known as rosaries. Happily, the art of turning flowers into jewelry has not disappeared and is being used now to preserve special events and moments. Bridal bouquet preservation jewelry is the best way to keep the magic of your special day close to you.

You can do it yourself as a project or have a professional complete it for you. Whichever method a person chooses, there is no doubt that incorporating the flowers from your bouquet as jewelry is a very special way to remember one of the happiest moments in your life. One that you can take with you anyplace and at any time.

There are more traditional options for memorializing your special day such as sealing wedding keepsakes in a frame for display or making holiday ornaments from the flower petals. Where flower jewelry is different than the others is that you choose from designs that can either be worn daily during any type of activity to formal and evening wear. The options are limitless and it is something you have close to you always.

What is attracting more people to this ancient method is the fact that they are able to carry or wear a piece of a very special moment with them at all times. The pieces can be worn while at work, lunch, exercise, or play. The same is true for cuff links, tie clips, and money clips. You can still have the sealed frame or holiday ornament but you can also have something next to you and with you, all the time.

There are two main differences in having the work done by a professional or by yourself. A professional has experience and many use only precious metals in their creations. By doing the work yourself, you will be able to create something of your own design. But which ever method you decide to use, know that the end product is going to be something you will treasure forever.

To do the work yourself, instructions can be found at many different do it yourself websites on the internet. There you will find easy to follow step by step directions. Be sure to assemble all the needed tools before starting. These usually include a blender, cheesecloth, pins or needles, corkboard, and of course your flower petals. By the way, if your flowers have wilted a bit, or are turning in color, do not give up or worry. They will still turn into beautiful beads

If you prefer, you can send your flowers and leaves to professional services, also found through the internet. There you will find a wide range of designs that include dipping petals in acrylic or precious metals to create lovely pieces that can be worn anytime of the day or just on special occasions. The price will vary depending on the style you choose and if you want gold, silver, or another type of metal to be used in the creation of your design.

Your wedding day is one to be treasured. By preserving your bouquet and turning the flowers into jewelry, you can have a real part of that day with you, on you, all the time. In addition, these pieces make a wonderful keepsake to be handed down for generations.
