Preserve Your Wedding Bouquet or Special Flowers into a Keepsake
preserve my flowers
I take great care in preserving your wedding bouquets, memorial flowers and meaningful arrangements in Fargo, ND, and the surrounding areas. Whether it’s the bouquet you carried down the aisle or florals from your baby shower or a loved one—you can cherish your blooms as a keepsake for a lifetime.
Your flowers deserve to last more than a day
I know the feeling—staring at a beautiful, sentimental arrangement and wishing you could keep the flowers forever.
Your preserved flowers become a keepsake you can showcase in your home or display on a gallery shelf to enjoy for years to come.
You can always look back on them with love for the special moment they represent.

Each individual bloom is meticulously flattened in a wood press and thoughtfully arranged in a quality frame. Typically, a floating frame, with matted options available too.

Dried Bouquet Shadow Boxes
Each stem in your bouquet is separated and dried whole to preserve the natural three-dimensional character of each bloom. Then the arrangement is artfully displayed inside a shadow box.
I use two methods to delicately dry and preserve flowers: pressed florals displayed in a frame and whole dried flowers displayed in a shadow box. Before preserving, each stem is carefully deconstructed, sorted and prepared for the natural drying process.

I inspect, deconstruct and meticulously dry each bloom individually.

I thoughtfully arrange the bouquet inside the frame you selected.

frequently asked questions
Can I book a bridal bouquet preservation if my wedding is this week?
I would love to accommodate short-notice requests! Please be aware that you may be subject to a rush fee. Reach out and see if I have availability >
How far in advance should I book a dried floral service?
I would recommend reaching out asap to check my availability. If I’m open on your date, you can reserve your spot in advance.
Can you create an arrangement from flowers I dried myself?
If you have dried flowers that you would like turned into a keepsake arrangement, I would be happy to do that for you!
How long does the process take to dry and arrange my wedding bouquet?
Turnaround time for dried florals is about 12-16 weeks from the date I receive your bouquet, depending on availability.
How soon do you need my bouquet?
Ideally the same day as your event! Up to 5 days after, as long as the arrangement is well cared for. If your wedding is near the Fargo-Moorhead area, I recommend adding day-of pick up, so I can collect your bouquet on wedding day and start the preservation process as soon as possible.
What is the pricing for dried floral arrangements?
Pricing largely depends on frame size, bouquet size, arrangement complexity, and availability. I am always upfront and transparent about pricing when I provide an estimate. My clients have spent anywhere from $75 to over $500.
Can I see examples of your previous work?
Of course! I created all the framed floral artwork on my website. Take a look around! Don’t see exactly what you’re looking for? I love creating new artworks, so feel free to reach out:)
Will my flowers change color when dried?
Due to the organic nature of flowers, they will naturally fade and sometimes look quite different compared to fresh. For example, white flowers tend to take on a more antique look, while red flowers will often deepen in hue.
