If you want to admire your wedding blooms long after your big day, it’s never too early to start thinking about bouquet preservation. There’s a short window once your wedding passes to be able to preserve your bouquet flowers, so it’s best to come up with a plan beforehand if this is something that interests you.

We offer unique memory boxes as a way to showcase your bouquet flowers, along with other important details from the day you said “I do.”

How It Works

Bouquet Drop-Off

Drop your bouquet off within two days post-wedding. At this time you can also deliver any wedding details you’d like added into your shadow box to us.

Floral Drying Process

We’ll take care of drying your flowers so that the blooms end up nice and up-right, rather than wilted and wonky. This process can take up to four weeks.

Design Process

Based on the items you’ve given us, we’ll create a one-of-a-kind memory box with your cherished wedding mementos, as well as flowers from your bouquet.

Memory Box Options

Before we get to creating your wedding artwork, you’ll need to make a couple of design decisions.  You can choose from the following selections:

10″ x 10″

Black or White Frame

12″ x 12″

Black or White Frame

16″ x 20″

Black or White Frame

Memory boxes start at $110.

Fine Print

We can’t guarantee how flowers will look once they’re dry. Some types of flowers keep their shape better than others. The color of each flower will darken as they dry, and some may even continue to change color over time (which is part of the beauty of it!).

Once the drying process is complete, we’ll use our judgment to use the blooms that look the best for your shadow box. We rarely use all of the flowers from a bouquet, and will return the leftover blooms if you’d like to have them.

We’ll work with you to determine which elements are the highest priority for your shadow box. With space constraints, sometimes it’s not possible to work every item in.
