Flowers are often a prime element of a wedding. The flowers are worn and carried, displayed as centerpieces, and arranged throughout locations. Using the art of pressed flowers, brides for one, can capture that moment and have a cherished keepsake. Many dollars are spent annually on fresh flowers. Don't let them "fade" away; treasure them for a lifetime.

Arrangements are created for many events including, holidays, anniversaries, graduation and prom, memorials of a loved one's passing, baby births, and more. Capture any part of these events by preserving the flowers and possibly adding items that can be used in conjunction with the flowers (such as announcements, letters, etc).

At Southern Flower Preservation, a unique technique is used to ensure the best quality preservation. You can go to Our Process Link to learn more about our process, including the use of a vacuum laminating press and the UV protecting materials.

Below are some ideas and photographs of work done.  If you have a wish or idea, then that is what we are here for.  Every piece will be customized as you wish.  If you are not sure what you think might work for a layout, we will always help with suggestions based on your materials you want used and the flowers.

Any wedding bouquet, or flower arrangement can be preserved entirely or partially on a custom cut board. The board is museum quality and 100% acid free. There are several colors to choose from. We will be glad to assist in helping you choose this, based on experience of color combinations that we have worked with. Below, the term bouquet and flower arrangement are used interchangeably. Options to consider in the design for these include, but are not limited, to:

• Only Bouquet (which can be laid out in the common cascading, nosegay, or crescent  arrangement or other design you might have had)
• Flowers (from bouquet) surrounding an announcement, letter, invitation, memorial saying, etc
• Bouquet designed side by side with an announcement, etc (as listed above)

An example of bouquet preservations (with and without an announcement) and a funeral remembrance:

Custom mats have open oval centers to view a common sized picture, or announcement/invitation. Flowers are arranged around the opening in a variety of styles. Choose from a variety of styles, upon your request, or our judgment..

An example of pre-cut mat preservations:

Often times there will be extra petals remaining from your larger preserved piece. You can create book mark mementos for you and others of the occasion at hand.
