When you know, you know! With amazing foresight, Michigan bride Shelley Clark collected a rose from every bouquet that her then-boyfriend now-husband gave her throughout middle school and high school and displayed them at their wedding reception. While you probably don’t have a collection of sentimental stems at your disposal, you can still take advantage of the nostalgic romance of dried flowers by including them in your bouquets, boutonnieres, wedding signage and reception centerpieces. See how Shelley showed off her dried rose collection, then check out the photos below to see how to pull it off at your wedding!
