For more than three decades, For Keeps has continued to evolve from a pioneering flower preservation studio into a second-generation Australian business built on science, artistry, innovation and the stories entrusted to us.

We are proud to have been recognised for our work, our leadership and our contribution to small business in Australia and internationally.

But the recognition we value most will always come from the families who trust us with the things they simply cannot replace.

FEATURED RECOGNITION

From Western Sydney to Time Square

For Keeps has received international business recognition through the Stevie® Awards and has been featured on a billboard in Times Square, New York. These milestones have taken a family business founded in Western Sydney in 1992 onto an international stage, while the work itself has remained grounded in the same purpose: preserving the stories people cannot replace.

For Keeps and Jessica Chalk have been featured across Australian and international business, wedding and media platforms.

Recognition we're proud of. Work that matters more.

We're incredibly proud of the recognition For Keeps has received in Australia and internationally.
But the moments that matter most don't come with trophies.
They're the moments when someone sees their finished piece for the first time and, for a moment, we get to see what having that tangible connection means to them.
That's why we do this work.
