ABOUT US
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.
At For Keeps, we don’t just preserve flowers; we preserve memories, hopes, and dreams. From newlyweds selecting their first keepsake to grieving families finding solace, we are honoured to be part of these deeply personal moments. Each custom-designed keepsake reflects your unique story.
Our commitment to quality means we use only the finest materials, ensuring your keepsakes are protected from fading. With personalised consultations and a compassionate approach, we provide a sanctuary where your memories are cherished and preserved with love. Join us in preserving your memories with the care they deserve.
