When you picture your wedding day and those blousy blooms decorating the space, filling the air with glorious scent, you probably picture your bouquet in your hands, flowers surrounding you as you say your vows, the tables lined with colour and gorgeous textures.
But have you ever considered what happens to your flowers after the wedding day ends?
For many couples their flowers quietly fade away after the celebrations, and yet your bouquet is so much more than decoration – it’s a tangeable piece of your story, one that you poured your heart into, you picked out the colours, thought through the arrangements, and worked with your florist to creatively tell your story.
Preserving your wedding flowers allows you to keep that story alive long after the day itself.
Why Preserve Your Wedding Flowers?
Your bouquet, and any other flowers or wedding elements for that matter, become part of your wedding memories in a very real way when you choose to frame them.
When preserved and framed, your flowers turn into something you can enjoy every day in your home – artwork to adorn your walls and become a talking point for your guests, a beautiful element of your wedding day that you can keep on show, not tucked away on the bookshelf.
Couples tell me how incredibly meaningful it is to be able to walk past their framed wedding flowers and be reminded of that moment in time every day, and it is just magic to hear this.
It’s something so much deeper than decor, it’s a personal heirloom, a piece of truly bespoke artwork only they can own.
How Preservation Works With The Honey Seeker Floral Design
It starts with us collecting your bouquet from your venue, the day after your wedding, and meticulously photographing your flowers before carefully deconstructing the arrangement to dry and preserve them.
When ready, we love to have a conversation with you about how you’d like your frame to look and feel, and then thoughtfully arrange your flowers into a design that reflects the original bouquet while also working beautifully as a piece of art, with mock-ups for you to sign off to ensure you are perfectly happy with every petal placement.
And, because every bouquet is different, each frame is completely unique and made bespoke for you.
Some couples choose designs that closely resembles their bouquet, while others prefer a more artistic composition, capturing the feel of their day and their personalities.
Then, when completed, we carefully wrap your frame up and deliver back to you.
A Meaningful Way To Keep Your Bouquet
This is your very own, limited edition artwork, truly bespoke, and perfectly curated to you and your home.
You might hang your frame in the hall to welcome you home every day, above your bed or in the living room where it becomes a quiet reminder of your wedding day forever.
It’s something you can cherish forever after and to pass down – a time capsule of colour, texture, and meaning.
Planning Ahead For Your Wedding Flowers
If you know you would love to preserve your flowers, or even if you are just considering it and want to ask a few questions, it is always best to plan ahead.
Booking ahead of your wedding day ensures you have secured your spot and know your flowers are going to be well looked after without you having to lift a finger after your wedding day.
So many couples are blown away by their gorgeous blooms on their wedding day and only then realise they want to keep them forever, only to have a mad scrabble in the days following to find someone, anyone, who can preserve their flowers.
Whether just your flowers, or additional mementos such as buttonholes, ribbons, or invites, having a conversation with us in the weeks before your big day means you can relax, knowing everything is in hand.
Turn Your Bouquet Into Art
Your wedding flowers are designed to tell your story, and your floral frame allows them to keep telling that story for years to come.
