A Drawer Full of Memories






















A drawer full of memories, you know the one that has all the cards, photos and memorabilia from family and friends. I bet most of you will find at least one flower pressed in between pages of a photo album or favorite book. That one pressed flower, marked the day of a momentous occasion in a loved one’s life that has been passed down through generations within the family. Call it old fashioned, call it too sentimental, but in the scheme of our hectic lives it is the shared memories that remain a part of us.

With today’s knowledge and technology you do not need to find that one brown flower pressed between the pages or hang the bridal bouquet upside down in hopes that the inevitable deterioration of your flowers does not happen. Most wedding flowers can be preserved with only slight changes to the color and shape and designed in a frame or encasement will last many years in a normal household environment.

The key is to arrange for the flower preservationist to receive your bouquet as fresh as possible; therefore, it is recommended that you make preserving your bouquet part of the wedding plans and budget. The flower preservationist can assist you in determining what flowers preserve the best, assist with the keepsake selection and if needed arrange for courier services. The keepsake options vary and are endless. You may preserve only the bouquet, just a few flowers with a photo or invitation or include wedding items such as the champagne flutes, tiara etc. You may want the flowers redesigned as a contemporary art piece, the choice is all yours.

The cost of preserving your flowers is typically a very small percentage of the total cost of the wedding and wedding flowers. Also, there are smaller keepsakes that make beautiful gifts for the mothers and the wedding party. One special note, please do not freeze your bouquet; this is a mistake that destroys the flowers.

One of my most treasured keepsake pieces is a keepsake box with preserved anniversary flowers and cards my husband gave me throughout the years, too bad I don’t have my wedding flowers. The quote on the anniversary card “Memories bring back the beauty of wonderful moments shared.” This beautiful keepsake will always decorate my home and my heart.

The variety, colors and fragrances of flowers create an unforgettable essence of your wedding day. How sad that flowers from such an important day is lost unnecessarily.

  1. In November of 2004 you were a part of a bridal show in the Biltmore Hotel, where my hubby and I were staying for our wedding night. We hunted you down (almost) while you were setting up and asked if you could work your magic on my flowers, invitation and glasses. We have your beautiful work on display a top of our w...all unit- as a centerpiece to our great day. After almost 6 years (and two moves) it still looks beautiful and is cherished daily!! THANK YOU!!! Anabel F”
