My Custom-Framed Wedding Bouquet + Giveaway

You know those things around your house that you look at and you think, “I really must do something with that soon!”? You guys are all very responsible and probably immediately get up and do whatever it is with it, but maybe you are like me and you mean really well but almost six years go by…oops. Point in case—my wedding bouquet!

Scott and I got married almost six years ago, and I always wanted to do something special with my wedding bouquet. In fact, when I was choosing my florals I purposely chose flowers that would dry well and not crumble apart. Every time I looked at the bouquet, which was sitting on a shelf in our kitchen for a long time, I would add doing something with it to my to-do list. Luckily for me, I was approached by Aaron Brothers to participate in a challenge called What Would You Frame?. They partnered with me to help me frame something a bit out of the box…so my wedding bouquet finally got the respect it deserved. Spoiler alert—it looks awesome!

Just for fun, here’s a photo of my bouquet in prime action. Awww! Any excuse to throw in a wedding pic or two TBH! 🙂

This was my first time having anything custom framed and I had so much fun! There are over 700 moulding choices and 400 mats, which sounds sort of overwhelming but they have them all displayed so you can scan and pick the ones you like immediately. What’s even more fun is they have a custom framing visualization system that helps you see how it all looks together. I’m pretty indecisive so we went through about 15 designs until we found one that Scott and I liked.

Everyone I worked with there was super friendly and made the process really easy and enjoyable. They walked though all the different options and pricing points so I was able to find something that fit my style and my budget.

Another thing I really appreciated was the glass. Especially being someone who takes a ton of photos in our house, I hate how some frames are super reflective and you can’t see the art in them! The glass Aaron Brothers uses is awesome and there are NO glares, yay!

I was so excited when I got to pick up my package a week later. I had serious butterflies! 🙂

You guys, I am so happy with how it turned out! Since we are still in the unpacking stage at the new house, we haven’t found a permanent home for my bouquet yet but I can’t wait to show it off and hang it in a place of honor!

  1. Eeeeek! Awww! 🙂 first of all, LOVE the bouquet and the idea to frame it! That is so adorable!
    Second, never thought that a framing place could be so helpful! I need to hit them up once we get out walls painted and ready to hang up artwork, etc. 🙂
    I’d like to enter the giveaway and the one thing that comes to mind right now is – framing my MBA diploma. Seems that I’ve worked forever on it, so I am eager to see it framed and up on the wall as a simple reminder that I can do hard work and that I can do it again(well not another degree, but something comparable) if I set my mind to it. 🙂

  2. It looks fantastic!! I would follow your example and have my wedding broach bouquet framed. What an awesome idea.

  3. After my grandfather passed away, my Dad gave me several of his old silk handkerchief type scarves that I would love to have framed so that I could make a unique gallery wall in my basement!

  4. In September we will be married 44 years. God knows where my bouquet is but more importantly I know where my heart is – he sleeps next to me every night.

  5. I still have the boutonnieres from my wedding and I would love to get those framed! Yours turned out beautifully!!!

  6. The frame is simple but absolutely beautiful. I have few things that needs framing, must go and visit Aaron Brothers soon:)

  7. Wow, Tania, that looks gorgeous!! I love how it turned out!! I would love to do the same thing (y’know, when I get married later this year) – that is such a wonderful keepsake!

  8. This is beautiful! Your bouquet is gorgeous and the framing really shows it off. I need help framing fossils that my hubby and I dug up. They have been sitting is a box for several years and I’d love to display them.

  9. That is really so beautiful! My dad is going to retiring next year, so I’m thinking framing some work momentos might be a nice gift. That or else framing some family tree keepsakes.

  10. so gorgeous! i have zero idea what became of my bouquet (thank heavens for pictures), but i’ll definitely share this link with friends about to tie the knot 🙂

  11. I have some 1950’s classroom science posters that I desperately need/want to have framed. I love how your bouquet turned out and I wish I had kept mine!

  12. I have my wedding bouquet dried and in a vase on my dining room table, but this is such an amazing idea! I would either get my bouquet framed or a wedding picture 🙂

    1. I have a beautiful Japanese kimono that my father brought back from W. W. II. It is unique and obviously very old. It is something I would like to pass on to my daughter and granddaughter. I would love to frame it and hang it where i can enjoy it every day. I had it on a shelf, but took it down and put it it Away to protect it. We are retired, so the certificate would help a lot.
      Thanks so much. Camille Dillard

  14. I saw the framed bouquet in person tonight and was so impressed – especially with the no glare glass. I reached out to touch the bouquet and then realized the glass was there to stop me! So clear, I couldn’t even tell the glass was there –
