Your wedding day goes by in the blink of an eye, but your wedding bouquet preservation choices can help your memories last a lifetime. As a floral preservation artist, I’ve seen what really stands the test of time, not just trendy ideas, but meaningful keepsakes that bring that wedding-day magic back every time you see them.

Brides often ask how long bouquets last after the wedding, and according to The Knot, proper care and wedding bouquet preservation can make all the difference.

Here are my top five expert recommendations for preserving your bouquet, your story, and your “I do” moment; beautifully and intentionally.

🌿

1. Preserve Your Bouquet in a Pressed-Flower Frame

This is my #1 recommendation for every bride. Pressed-flower frames are timeless, elegant, and display beautifully in any home.

A frame lets you:

• See your actual wedding flowers every day

• Showcase them in your décor

• Pass them down as an heirloom

• Keep the style clean, modern, and long-lasting

If you want a keepsake that blends art + memory, this is the one.

2. Create a Resin Keepsake That Encapsulates Your Wedding Florals

Resin preservation is perfect for brides who want something artistic and unique.
I recommend resin pieces for couples who love modern, sculptural décor.

My most recommended resin items:

• Resin domes

• Tray with florals

• Ornament sets

• Ring holder

• Coasters

Your flowers are sealed forever; protected, vibrant, and beautifully displayed.

3. Turn Your Bouquet Into a Custom Home Piece

Your flowers shouldn’t sit in a box. Turn them into a statement.

Top recommendations:

• Floating botanical art

• Acrylic blocks

• Floral shadow boxes

• Bookends

• Wall art accents

These pieces transform your bouquet into functional art your home will love.

4. Preserve a Meaningful “Moment” With Your Florals

Sometimes it’s not just the bouquet, it’s the moment.

I recommend preserving:

• A boutonnière

• A ribbon from the bouquet

• A small piece of your dress lace

• Vows or handwritten notes

• A charm or photo from your wedding day

These personal touches tell your story in your art piece.

5. Plan Ahead — The Most Overlooked but Most Important Tip

If I could give every engaged couple ONE recommendation, it would be this:

Decide on your keepsake before the big day.

Why?

• Flowers need to be dropped off or shipped ASAP

• You get the highest quality preservation

• You avoid stress after the wedding

• You ensure your spot in my studio calendar (I book fast!)

Advance planning = the best result.
