How to Preserve Your Wedding Flowers Forever

Your wedding flowers are more than just decoration. They carry emotion, meaning, and memories from one of the most important days of your life. From the moment you walk down the aisle to your final dance, your bouquet is part of every moment. When the day is over, many couples are left wondering how to preserve those flowers in a way that truly does them justice.

At My Forever Keeps, we specialise in turning wedding flowers into bespoke keepsakes that can be treasured for a lifetime. In this guide, we explain how flower preservation works, why resin preservation has become so popular, and how you can ensure your bouquet stays beautiful forever.

Why preserve your wedding flowers?

Fresh flowers fade quickly, but the memories they represent last forever. Preserving your wedding bouquet allows you to hold on to a physical piece of your day, transformed into artwork you can display and cherish.

Many of our couples choose flower preservation to:

  • Keep a lasting reminder of their wedding day

  • Display a meaningful piece of their celebration in their home

  • Create a one of a kind artwork filled with personal sentiment

  • Gift a preserved piece to a partner or family member

Every bouquet tells a story, and preservation allows that story to continue long after the day itself.

 

What is resin flower preservation?

Resin flower preservation involves carefully drying your flowers before embedding them in high quality, crystal clear resin. This method protects the flowers from moisture, dust, and damage, while maintaining their shape, colour, and detail as beautifully as possible.

Unlike traditional pressing, resin preservation allows flowers to be displayed in three dimensional form, creating striking, modern keepsakes that feel both artistic and timeless.

Popular resin keepsakes include:

  • Hexagon or square blocks

  • Freestanding floral art pieces

  • Personalised letter or shape designs

  • Statement home décor pieces

Each piece is individually designed, ensuring no two keepsakes are ever the same.

 

How soon should you book flower preservation?

Timing is essential when it comes to preserving flowers. We always recommend booking your preservation date as early as possible, ideally before your wedding day. Wedding season fills quickly, and we only take on a limited number of orders each month to ensure every piece receives the care and attention it deserves.

Once your booking is confirmed, we guide you through:

  • How to care for your flowers immediately after your wedding

  • How and when to send them safely

  • The full design and approval process

This ensures everything feels calm, clear, and stress free during an already busy time.

 

What flowers can be preserved?

Most wedding flowers can be preserved, including roses, peonies, ranunculus, hydrangeas, eucalyptus, and many seasonal blooms. Some flowers naturally change slightly during the drying process, but this is part of their unique charm and character.

We work closely with you to design a piece that complements your flowers, colour palette, and personal style, ensuring the final result feels truly special.

 

A keepsake made just for you

Every My Forever Keeps piece is handcrafted with care, patience, and attention to detail. From the moment your flowers arrive with us to the final polish of the finished artwork, each stage is handled thoughtfully and professionally.

Your bouquet deserves more than a box in the loft. It deserves to be seen, celebrated, and remembered.
