If you asked me what my most favorite part of wedding planning was, I'd say flowers and décor! I just love the idea of a room filled with vibrant, lush colors of fluffly florals, and the scent of freshness that you get to experience in a reception hall filled with fresh flowers. Now if you asked my mom and mom-in-law, they'd say spending money on fresh flowers is such a waste! I found some unique ways to preserve your wedding bouquet (and other fresh flowers), to turn fresh-flower-haters into believers. There are lots of incredibly creative ideas for the Indian bride!
