Floral Preservation
Floral Preservation
We press and preserve bridal bouquets and sentimental blooms into one-of-a-kind keepsakes — works of art that capture moments in time. Choose from custom framed wall art, dimensional shadow boxes, or domes and cloches. Each one is designed around your bouquet's color and shape.
A Witch Hazel Specialty
Pressed flower art is one of the things we're known for. It's the most popular class we teach at our Beacon studio, and we've been pressing and preserving flowers since we opened in 2022. If you've taken our Pressed Flower Art workshop, this is that same eye and technique, applied to something that's sentimental on an entirely different level.
Choose Your Piece
- Framed wall art starts around $475. Your bouquet is pressed and composed into a gallery-worthy piece.
- Shadow boxes start around $350. For a more dimensional keepsake that holds onto texture as well as color.
- Domes and cloches start around $200. They're a smaller, sculptural way to keep a few favorite blooms on display.
Timing Matters
Reach out before your wedding so we can talk through logistics — flowers need to come to us within a few days of your big day for the best results. Already past your wedding? Reach out anyway, and depending on how your bouquet was stored, preservation may still be possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does preservation take?
Pressing or drying alone takes two to three weeks, since flowers need that time to dry properly and hold their color. Once that's done, we take additional time to design and assemble your piece. Plan on about a month from start to finish, sometimes a bit more for larger or more detailed designs.
How do I get my flowers to you if I'm not local?
We work with clients outside the Hudson Valley regularly. Once you reach out, we'll send you simple shipping instructions so your bouquet arrives to us in the best possible condition.
My flowers are already dried out. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. Reach out and tell us what you're working with. Depending on how your bouquet was stored, we may still be able to create something beautiful, even if it's not fresh. We'll always give you an honest answer about what's possible.
Will the finished piece look exactly like my bouquet?
It will be made from your actual flowers, but pressing and preserving naturally changes color, shape, and texture — that's part of what makes each piece one of a kind. We design around what your blooms become, not just what they looked like on your wedding day, so you'll get something that's true to your flowers rather than an exact freeze-frame.
