Chiara Resnick shared how she had selected an Etsy seller who specialised in preserving bridal bouquets.
However, when she received the flat-lay frame back, she was horrified at the finished result.
On her @ciararesnick account, she shared photos of the flowers looking beautiful on her wedding day, and then how they looked once preserved.
She wrote: 'My beautiful wedding bouquet that I sent to an Etsy seller to preserve.
'If I don't laugh about it, I'll cry.'
The preserved bunch looked rather squished in the frame and a tad sad-looking compared to how they had looked on the day.
Over 53,000 people have liked her video, and many rushed to the comment to share their view on her wedding 'fail.'
Many said how they thought it looked 'awful' and 'tacky.'
One said: 'I'd be SUINGGGGGGGGG.'
A second added: 'Noooooo. Noooooo. Please tell me you didn't send the whole bouquet???'
We just tied the knot at Glastonbury in front of 500 strangers - I wore a £27 Shein dress & we saved £20K on the DJ too
A third agreed: 'they look like coffee filters, i'm so sorry.'
Meanwhile, some didn't think it was as bad as she thought.
One person commented: 'I think it looks good? I mean its like pressed flowers??'
However, one person explained what they thought had happened for it to turn out as it did.
They shared: 'It's because they were pressed whole, instead of petals Bering done separately.
'Whole can be done but tbh these look like they had a rough go in a microwave press or am.'

FLOWER PRESERVING
It's possible to preserve your flowers yourself at home after your wedding - but you may wish to rely on a professional you trust.
The first step is to dry your flowers while they still look nice, ideally the day after your wedding with them being in water overnight.
Remove flowers from the bouquet so they can dry separately hung upside down in a cool, dry place.
Flowers can be pressed in a professional press or in a large weighted object.
You should use absorbent paper such as kitchen roll or blotting paper if pressing between a book.
Keep in a cool dry spot for a minimum of four weeks before seeing if they have fully dried.
An alternative method could be to preserve flowers in silica gel or resin.

EVA-LASTING LOVE Who is tennis star Dan Evans' girlfriend Aleah and how long have they been together? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) DAN EVANS is in action at Wimbledon with the veteran one of the most popular players on the British tennis circuit. Ace Evans, 35, is currently ranked No 154 in the world in men's singles - and always has stunning girlfriend Aleah in the stands cheering him on, including at Wimbledon this year. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Dan Evans' partner Aleah is a constant fixture in the stands at his matches 4 Aleah with Evans at Wimbledon 2025 4 Aleah cuts a very glamorous figure at his matches Who is Dan Evans' girlfriend and how long have they been a couple? Evans is currently in action at Wimbledon, where he is facing Novak Djokovic in the second round. He won a match at the All England Club for the first time in four years against Jay Clarke - although he was caught up in a row with his opponent. According to Evans met Aleah when she was working in Winchcombe back in 2017. Aleah helped Evans, who was banned from playing tennis for 12 months in 2017 because of cocaine use, through one of the most turbulent times of his life. 4 Aleah watching Evans from the stands at Wimbledon Credit: Rex Not much is known about their relationship but they currently reside in Cheltenham together, though Evans is from Birmingham. They have a very private life and Evans gives very little away in media interviews. 'It's been good (living in Cheltenham)," Evans told Gloucestershire Live. "I pretty much like to relax and not do much. 'It's easy to be around here. It's got a good coffee shop (The Coffee Dispensary in Regent Street) which always helps. Aleah and I always look for one when I'm on tour. 'It's cool here but I've spent a lot of time away. This is the first week home, for a full week, for a year probably.' Aleah has been seen watching Evans from the stands when he's played at Wimbledon in the past and has been seen court-side during the Olympics in Paris.

Humble Wimbledon star Jack Draper still drives seven-year-old VW Polo despite earning millions in prize money
Draper has revealed why he has shaved his legs SET OF WHEELS Humble Wimbledon star Jack Draper still drives seven-year-old VW Polo despite earning millions in prize money Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JACK DRAPER still drives the same old Polo car to training because he does not see the point of having a flashier vehicle in London, according to his pal Jack Pinnington Jones. Jones's Wimbledon dreams were fuelled as a teenager during early-morning car journeys with Draper listening to UK rap on the stereo.

The Surrey star, who has earned so far £99,000 in prize money, had long dreamt of this position, particularly on those sunrise motor trips with Draper. They would travel together to Roehampton's National Tennis Centre before dawn in the winter months and before the school rush, put on the tunes and talk rubbish. The funny thing is that Draper, who has pocked career earnings of £5.9million, still drives around in the same Polo car and refuses to trade up for a bigger, better and more expensive model.

We'd be driving through Cobham (in Surrey). 'The traffic is just a nightmare if you go any later with the school run. 'So, Jack would say: 'Right, I'm going to be there at 6.30am. You're either there or you're not.' I'd be half asleep every time. 'It'd take 20 minutes on the roads because no-one else is awake. You'll have to wait till 8am for breakfast.

If it's the end of the week, something probably more chilled. 'I was about 15 or 16. I didn't have a licence. Jack has the same car now. This little Polo. 'He treats it awfully. He's like: 'I don't need a nice car in London, I'm going to ding it anyway.' 'It's the same car he got when he first passed. He loves it. He has some boxing gloves in the wing mirror.' The two Jacks are very close pals and Draper reckons Jones has the makings one day of becoming a top-100 player. The decision to leave college, forego his degree and go pro was 'a big decision' and tennis is 'obviously now a job'. British No.11 Jones, who hails from Kingston, plays golf to a reasonable level and was hitting balls at Andy Murray's club the other day. He is probably one of the guys that took the mickey out of Draper for his attempts at shaving off his stubble before his first-round win over Sebastian Baez. Indeed, Draper – who now plays former US Open champion Marin Cilic this afternoon – is hoping the only close shaves this Wimbledon fortnight will be on his legs. And Britain's tennis hero has told fans to expect plenty of different hairstyles throughout his career – because it is a chance for him to experiment and rebel. Draper, 23, said: 'Yeah, I shave my legs. I mean a lot of athletes do. 'It's because of the (resistance) band work we do between our legs. 'I'm fed up of ingrown hairs and getting slapped with the bands – it sort of hurts a lot. So, I get rid of the hairs. 'When I put the bands around my leg, it pulls on your hair and it rips them off. And it's the same with the massages as well. 'I mean it's not ideal but if I'm going to be in less pain, then it's worth it.' Draper had blonde highlights done in his hair pre-tournament but will not be visiting the barbers until the event is over. The British No.1 said: 'One thing you will see with me over the years is a lot of different hairstyles. A lot of different things. 'Because I'm very experimental with that sort of stuff. Do I get bored? Yeah. 'There will be a lot of different things. My brother doesn't like it but there will be a lot.'
