preserving your bouquet
You’ve put a lot of time, energy, and resources toward your wedding. Don’t miss the opportunity to create a beautiful and unique piece of art that will remind you of your special day.
Here are three ways to artfully preserve your bouquet
Framed preserved flowers
Deanne of Refinery Floral is a Denver-based artist that offers a unique take on flower preservation, turning your bouquet into a breathtaking piece of 3D art. Your bouquet will be treated to preserve all its color (no more fading to yellowish brown) and the blooms arranged and framed for a truly striking piece of art. Choose from a variety of frames, backgrounds, and add-ons to suit your personal style.
Resin preservation
Resin preservation has grown in popularity in recent years and it’s not hard to see why. Resin preservation artists such as Blossom & Rhyme offer stunning pieces in a variety of shapes and sizes from blocks to hexagons to arches and include functional pieces such as bookends, trays, and ring holders.
Pressed floral art
For a more traditional take, consider pressing your bouquet flowers. This can be a DIY project or you may want to consider sending your bouquet into a pressed floral artist. Framing pressed flowers can be a great way to incorporate printed items such as invitations, programs, or vows into your bouquet preservation.
Tips for successful floral preservation
Book early
Book as early as possible. Bouquet preservation continues to grow in popularity and preservation artists can book up quickly. Book early to minimize your turnaround time and ensure your spot.
Follow instructions
Follow preservation artist’s shipping instructions. The quality of your floral preservation is determined by the skill level of your preservation artist AND by the quality of the blooms you send them. Flowers are delicate so it’s important to follow the packing instructions and send flowers immediately after the wedding for optimal results.
Order extra
If you are worried about your bouquet getting too beaten up throughout the day you can request additional flowers from your florist and send those in for bouquet preservation.
Recruit help
Designate a friend or family member to ship or deliver your bouquet to your preservationist. Recruiting the assistance of a friend or family member can help ease the mental load and allow you to focus on enjoying your wedding day.
