Turn your flowers into a memory to last a lifetime with floral preservation. Each piece is a bespoke work of art, using your best blooms to create a design completely unique to you and your day.

We offer the option to include keepsakes like wedding invitations, memorial cards, birth announcements, or photos. Our 3D designs (shadowboxes and terrariums) can also include small item like lockets and charms, and we’re happy to personalize any design with monograms or messages.

Design Options

We use your best blooms to make art tailored to you. Not all styles are available for all settings, but common styles include:

Pressed vs Natural

The first decision in preservation is how you want your design presented: pressed (2D) or natural dried (3D).

Pressing flattens the flower, opening it up and allowing it to fit in a standard frame (laid on a matte and displayed like a painting) or floating frame (sitting between two panes of glass, where the flowers appear to ‘float’ with nothing behind them).

Drying or ‘natural’ preservation allows the flower to keep its shape. Unlike pressing, the textures and layers of petals remain distinct, and as such, they are styled in shadowboxes (deep set frames designed to hold objects) or terrariums (glass display boxes).

Burst – an abstract design with whimsical elements leading to an arrangement of overlapping blooms

Keepsake – flowers arranged with invitation, memorial card, or other small item

Garden – made to resemble a lush garden in bloom, featuring flowers and stems

Mosaic – flowers, leaves, and petals in a flowing abstract design without overlapping

Pavé – blooms collected in a dense design that fill the frame

Bouquet – inspired by the shape and design of your bouquet, including stems and bouquet wrap

Once you’ve selected your style and frame, we can begin working on your design.
