ABOUT US
At For Keeps, we understand that behind every flower and trinket lies a story, a cherished memory waiting to be preserved. We’re dedicated to transforming these sentimental treasures into beautiful, lasting keepsakes, crafted with the utmost care and compassion.
For Keeps began with a moment of loss over three decades ago. Gwen, our founder and a seasoned florist, returned from her honeymoon to find her wedding flowers had wilted. The sadness of discarding those blooms inspired her to create a solution. Driven by passion, Gwen traveled the world, researching and perfecting a process to preserve flowers as unique pieces of art.
Her dedication laid the foundation for For Keeps. Today, we continue her legacy with the same commitment to excellence. As her daughter, I initially resisted joining the business, but I quickly fell in love with the meaningful connections we build with our clients. What started as a part-time job became a full-time passion.
