Why Preserve Your Wedding Bouquet?

Preserving your wedding bouquet keeps your flowers with you, allowing you to hold on to the memories of your special day. This blog explores the fascinating world of bouquet preservation, sharing fun facts about the best flowers and the preservation process.

The History of Floral Preservation

Floral preservation boasts a rich history that dates back to ancient civilizations, where cultures like the Egyptians and Chinese recognized the beauty and significance of flowers in rituals and ceremonies. The Egyptians preserved flowers to honor the deceased, while the Chinese pressed flowers for both aesthetic and medicinal purposes. Over the centuries, techniques evolved, with the Renaissance seeing the rise of floral albums among the elite and the Victorian era embracing dried flowers in home decor and wedding bouquets. Today, floral preservation has advanced significantly, utilizing modern technology and high-quality materials. At Ever After Bloom, we incorporate these innovative methods ensuring they maintain their beauty and integrity for years to come.

Best Flowers for Preservation

Certain flowers hold up better than others. Roses, peonies, daisies, and hydrangeas are among the most popular wedding flowers ideal for preservation due to their sturdy petals and vibrant colors. Our team at Ever After Bloom carefully selects and prepares each flower to ensure the best results.

Our Preservation Process

We provide a care box for your bouquet to keep it fresh, and our personal driver packs it for you. Our team then preserves each flower and petal in your chosen method, creating a timeless keepsake. Learn more about our process here.
