Weddings take months to plan but pass in a flash. Wedding keepsake and floral preservation offers a meaningful way to capture the emotions, beauty, and memories of your special day. For Amar, preserving flowers and keepsakes goes beyond capturing beauty - it's about preserving stories, journeys, and cherished moments.

Why keepsake and floral preservation is importantWhy keepsake and floral preservation is important

SENTIMENTAL VALUE: Preserved flowers and keepsakes serve as lasting, tangible reminders of your vows and those who celebrated with you. Offering daily comfort and a connection to your love story.

ARTISTIC EXPRESSION: Each keepsake is a work of art, transforming fleeting flowers into lasting mementos, from love letters turned into keychains to photos of loved ones embedded in charms.

HEIRLOOM QUALITY: Properly preserved, these keepsakes become cherished heirlooms, honouring your memories and the special moments that shape your life, passed down through generations.

Booking your floral preservation artistBooking your floral preservation artist

BOOK EARLY: Secure your spot by booking your artist alongside other vendors to ensure your flowers are preserved in top condition. Last-minute bookings risk missing out on your preferred artist.

RESEARCH: Review portfolios and testimonials to find an artist whose style aligns with your vision. Reliability is key when entrusting them with meaningful items.

FIND YOUR STYLE: Choose an artist whose preservation style - whether classical, romantic, vintage, or modern - matches your taste for a keepsake you'll treasure daily.

UNDERSTAND TECHNIQUES: Different flowers require different preservation methods. Discuss with your artist which flowers will yield the best results and expect natural colour changes in preserved flowers.

LAST-MINUTE ARRANGEMENTS: If you discover this service late, some artists may accommodate last-minute drop offs, but plan ahead to ensure your flowers are preserved within 1-3 days for the best results.

TIMING IS KEY: Preserve flowers within 1-3 days of your event for best results. Arrange for quick drop-off of shipping. If you're late, some artists can work with wilting or dried flowers. If delayed, enjoy blooms for a few days then hang them upside down in a cool, dry place.

HANDLE WITH CARE: Avoid bruising or wilting. If you plan a bouquet toss, have a separate bouquet made. Keep the flowers you wish to preserve in water and a cool place until delivery.

CONSULT YOUR ARTIST: Discuss the preservation process with your artist for specific preparation and delivery instructions. Some accept shipping, while others prefer in-person drop-offs. Clear communication is essential.

Preserving your wedding flowers and keepsakes creates a lasting tribute to your special day, allowing you to cherish and share these memories for years to come. If you are sentimental and want to hold onto a part of your wedding day, consider wedding keepsake and floral preservation.
