Preserve Wedding Bouquet

I want to preserve flowers from my wedding bouquet along with the garter, and my husbands boutonniere.

Preserving your bridal bouquet makes a beautiful long lasting keepsake. Including your husbands boutonniere, your garter and perhaps a photo along with your preserved flowers creates a memorabilia peice you will cherish forever.

Wedding Shadow Box Ideas

Q: My daughter is getting married soon and we want to give her a shadow box with her wedding bouquet preserved in it. Do you have any ideas how we can make it really special?

A: Of course every shadow box that contains a preserved bridal bouquet is special. There are many ways to personalize your gift. The addition of wedding memorabilia to the shadow box is the best way. It keeps everything together in an exquisite keepsake the couple will enjoy displaying in their home. Just gather everything together...the invitation, garter, a photo, whatever you think is special, and send it to us with the flowers.

Bouquet with lily of the valley, sweat peas, & tulips?

Q.- I'm getting married April 21, 2007 and am looking for a way/place to preserve my bouquet (which will have lily of the valley, sweat peas, & tulips.) Can you do this for me? How long would/will it take? How much will it cost for 1 wedding bouquet?


A.- Freeze dried flowers turn out like fresh flowers. They look beautiful, and last for years. Tulips and Sweetpeas freeze dry exceptionally well. Lilly of the Valley is very fragile, and looks better pressed, which we also add to the shadowbox and gives a very nice dimensional look.

We suggest mounting your wedding flowers in a 3" shadowbox with a bouquet design similar to the one you carried. The sample on the left is a "handtied" bouquet. We also offer cascade designs, or you may surround a photo or your invitation.

Our prices start at $45.00 for freeze drying in a Keepsake Ball or $115.00 in a Flower Shadowbox. It is also very simple to ship, just follow these instructions.

IMPORTANT NOTE: YOUR FRESH FLOWERS MUST BE RECEIVED BY US WITHIN 2 DAYS FOR BEST RESULTS. PLEASE READ THESE IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS.

Arrangements for preserving a bridal bouquet?

Q. - What arrangements need to be made prior to, or post wedding if a bride wishes to preserve her bridal bouquet?

A. - It is helpful to come in prior to the wedding and pick out the keepsake in which you would like your flowers preserved. Since we need to receive your flowers at least two days after the event, it is necessary to appoint someone to bring us your flowers if you are going on your honeymoon.

Also, after your wedding you should place your flowers in a large plastic bag (i.e. large kitchen trash bag). Blow air into it, since it is the carbon dioxide that keeps the flowers fresh. Twist tie the bag and keep it in the refrigerator until you can bring it to us.. Do not place in the freezer.

For examples of the work that we have done preserving bridal bouquets, be sure to look over our shadow box selection.
