Was it Polly's hat?!
I remember reading about someone's hat with dried flowers on it that took a bit of a battering going through customs but do you think they will take an aversion also to my wedding bouquet which was dried (but not pressed), framed and mounted behind glass?
I'm not really a particularly sentimental person (except when it comes to my kids!) but I would be disappointed if the keepsake of my big day didn't make it to the other side.....
Should I prepare for the worst?! Answers please - PSS will be here in less than 12 hours!

Hi,
Yes thats my hat you are thinking off - check with PSS but you may have a problem with the dried flowers. My hat actually had silk flowers on it, but they told the importing shippers that they believed they were dried flowers, and also that they had seedds in them!
&65 to destroy or &80 to treat but the shippers advised it could ruin the material so I had it destroyed.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
