Last week I met with Bridget from fab flowers here in Queenstown and she showed me their fabulous workshop where her and Sally create beautiful arrangements with ‘unreal flowers’.
I suggest you have a look at this site if you are looking to keep you bouquet after your wedding and you live overseas or even if you are looking to hire arrangements for your wedding day or even the day after.
