Your bouquet isn't just a collection of beautiful blooms; it was a symbol of the love you promise to share forever. But as with all things beautiful, time marches on, and unfortunately your wedding day bouquet’s vibrancy wouldn't last. Or so you thought!

Every time you glance at a photo from our wedding day, a wave of emotion washes over you.

Wedding bouquet preservation isn't just about keeping the physical flowers; it's about preserving the memories and emotions they represent.
These preserved blooms become more than just decorations; they transform into tangible reminders of one of the most magical days. Every glance back at your unique keepsake will transport you back to that moment, allowing you to relive the joy, the laughter, and the overwhelming love that filled the air.
Ephemeral Beauty to Everlasting Art: The Possibilities
Here's where things get really exciting! Flower preservation isn't a one-size-fits-all endeavor. It's a world brimming with possibilities, allowing you to transform your precious blooms into a stunning work of art. Imagine your bouquet pressed or dried and arranged into a custom-framed fine art piece. You can add in a your favorite image from the wedding, include your wedding invitation or even your vows are a beautiful and sentimental addition to your blooms.
A lot of my couples like to preserve their bridesmaids bouquets or their mothers’ and grandmothers’ flowers as a unique thank you gift for all their support through the wedding planning process and their love throughout the wedding day.
The options are truly endless, and each technique offers a unique way to showcase the beauty of your flowers while reflecting your personal style. You’ll have a piece of your wedding day transformed into a custom-made masterpiece that you can cherish forever in your home.
Is Flower Preservation Right for Me? Weighing Sentimentality and Practicality
Let's be honest, we're all busy juggling a million things at once especially when planning a wedding! So, naturally, the question arises: is flower preservation really worth the time and investment? For most couples, the answer is a resounding yes!
When I tell people that I’m a flower preservationist, you’ll never believe how many of them tell me they wished they had preserved their flowers. Don’t let that happen to you!
The sentimental value alone is priceless. But beyond that, it's an investment in a piece of art that will bring you joy for years to come. Imagine passing down this unique keepsake to future generations, sharing the story of your wedding day and the love it represents. That, my friends, is true magic.
Beyond the Bouquet: Versatility of Flower Preservation
While wedding bouquets are one of the most popular reasons to preserve flowers, floral preservation extends far beyond just the big day! Think anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, a new baby or even just a beautiful bouquet received on a random Tuesday!
One of my favorite pieces I’ve done so far is drying a bunch of sunflowers a client’s mom got her just because! Now she has a bright, sunny work of floral art that reminds her of her mom every time she looks at it.
Really any arrangement that holds sentimental value can be preserved, transforming everyday moments into lasting memories. Imagine framing pressed flowers from a first date bouquet or keeping a few blooms from a child's graduation. The possibilities are truly endless!

Hi I’m Sebra!
I’m the one-woman band behind The Rambling Florist where I preserve cherished memories through dried and pressed floral art.
I’ve been working in the art and design world for more than 10+ years and finally listened to my obsession and love for flowers and gardening to officially open The Rambling Florist in March 2024.
If I’m not in the studio, you can find me out in the garden or rambling around my local Cincinnati park identifying plants or birds.
