Preserving fresh flower arrangement????

[lukenick1]

My Mom's funeral was yesterday and we had a beautiful arrangement done up with roses, gardenias, and greens. Is there anything I can spray on it to preserve it? I'd love to keep it as a centerpiece.
Thank you

I don't know about the flowers but I am very sorry about your mom

Sorry to hear about your mother
to help keep mine, I arranged them in a memory box

I had bought this can of silica gel at Michaels, you have to cover the flower completely with it in an air tight container and it keeps the flowers looking beautiful.
