2ND GENERATION | AWARD-WINNING | NATIONALLY & INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNISED | AUSTRALIA-WIDE
Your bouquet was there as you walked down the aisle and made the promises that began your married life. Our wedding bouquet preservation transforms your actual flowers into bespoke pressed and 3D artworks, created in our Western Sydney studio to become part of your home and your story.
You spend so much time choosing every detail of your wedding, yet after the day so many of those details are packed away or disappear. We believe the things that mattered should have a place in your life long after the celebration is over.
Your wedding flowers, made to last beyond the day.
3D Flower Preservation
pressed OR 3D Flower Preservation
Your bouquet can be recreated as closely as possible to how you carried it, or your flowers can be redesigned into something entirely new.
3D preservation may suit you if you:
- Want the closest representation of your original wedding flowers
- Love seeing the depth, texture and natural shape of each bloom
- Want to display dimensional mementos alongside your flowers
- Prefer the choice of shadow boxes, domes or acrylic displays
- Want your bouquet itself to remain immediately recognisable
Pressed FLOWER PRESERVATION
Rather than recreating the bouquet exactly as it was carried, pressed preservation gives us the freedom to reinterpret your flowers into a new artistic composition.
Pressed preservation may suit you if you:
- Love a modern, elegant aesthetic
- Want artwork that sits relatively flush against the wall
- Prefer a more artistic interpretation of your bouquet
- Have limited wall or display space
- Want to include flat mementos such as photographs, invitations or handwritten notes
Not sure which one? Our friendly team will assist you in choosing!
Both options preserve your actual wedding flowers. The biggest difference is how you want them to look and live in your home afterwards.
THE FOR KEEPS DIFFERENCE
Depending on the flower, preserving a single bloom can involve 48–56 individual steps. After more than 30 years specialising in flower preservation, that depth of process shows in every bouquet we preserve.
Different flowers have different cellular structures, moisture levels and preservation requirements, which means one method cannot simply be applied to an entire bouquet. With the support of our plant physiologist, each flower is assessed individually so its preservation process can be tailored to the bloom itself.
Before preservation begins, every bouquet is carefully photographed and documented. We record the flowers, their colours against the Royal Horticultural Society Colour Chart, and the details that make your bouquet uniquely yours.
From there, moisture is carefully removed from each flower using the preservation process best suited to it. Once stable, the detailed work of reconstruction begins. Damaged areas are refined, blooms are reshaped and, where necessary, individual petals are repositioned or moved between flowers to create the best possible finished bloom.
Because flowers naturally change colour as moisture is removed, we also colour-enhance where appropriate, using our original colour records as a reference to bring your flowers closer to how you remember them on your wedding day.
1. Reserve your date
Book before your wedding with a $330 deposit. You don’t need to choose your final artwork yet.
2. Send us your flowers
Arrange drop-off, courier or postage so your flowers reach our Western Sydney studio as soon as possible, ideally within 24–48 hours of your wedding. We’ll guide you through packing and delivery.
3. Preserve & design
Preservation begins as soon as your flowers arrive. Around 6–8 weeks later, once your flowers are well into the preservation process, we’ll guide you through your display style, layout, framing and any meaningful inclusions.
4. Welcome your heirloom home
Your preserved flowers are carefully reconstructed, arranged and finished into your chosen artwork. Your completed piece is ready for collection or delivery approximately 4–6 months after your flowers arrive.

HOW IT WORKS
Our wedding bouquet preservation process is designed to make preserving your flowers simple, from securing your date to welcoming your finished artwork home.
more than your bouquet
Your wedding story is made up of more than flowers.
Invitations. Vows. Ribbon. Jewellery. Photographs. Fabric. Horseshoes. Handfasting cords. Stefana. Bangles. Headpins. Prayer Beads. Rosary. Memory pins.
We understand that no two love stories are the same, and no two weddings are either.
Every wedding carries its own traditions, culture, family history and personal details. That’s why every piece we create is individually designed to honour not only your flowers, but the people, traditions and moments that made the day uniquely yours.
ReaL BOUQUETS. REAL HEIRLOOMS.
I used For Keeps for my wedding bouquet they are located at Shanes Park. I highly recommend them. My 20th wedding anniversary is coming up this November [2026] and my bouquet still looks lovely.

pricing for BOUQUET preservation
Because each piece is custom-made, final pricing is confirmed during your design consultation once your artwork size, inclusions, display format, frame construction, matboard, glazing or dome selection have been chosen.
We use conservation and museum-grade materials where appropriate, including archival matboards, UV-protective glazing and premium acrylic or glass dome enclosures selected for longevity and structural integrity.
Smaller keepsakes using just a few flowers begin from $600. Full bouquet or posy-top preservation commissions begin from $1,500, with most clients investing between $2,000 and $3,000 in their finished artwork.
PAYMENT SCHEDULE
Your commission is paid in stages throughout the preservation process:
- $330 per bouquet before your flowers are delivered
- $330 per bouquet at eight weeks from receipt of your flowers
- 50% of the remaining balance at fourteen weeks
- Final balance upon completion
A. Yes. While we recommend booking your wedding bouquet preservation in advance, we understand that some couples discover preservation after their wedding.
If you still have your flowers, contact us as soon as possible. Their condition and the time since your wedding will influence the preservation options available, but we can assess what may still be possible.
A. We recommend booking your wedding flower preservation as soon as you've secured your florist.
Booking early guarantees your place in our preservation schedule and allows us to organise everything well before your wedding day. We'll provide care instructions for your bouquet and help arrange your flower drop-off or collection in advance.
This means you can enjoy your wedding knowing your flower preservation is already taken care of.
Leaving preservation until after your wedding can mean limited availability, fewer preservation options and unnecessary stress for you or your family when your flowers need urgent attention.
A. Ideally, we recommend getting your wedding flowers to our studio within 24 to 48 hours of your wedding.
The sooner we receive your bouquet, the better its condition when preservation begins, giving us the greatest opportunity to achieve a beautiful finished result.
We can accept flowers older than 48 hours; however, their condition upon arrival may influence the final outcome.
A. Once you've booked your wedding flower preservation with us, we'll provide detailed care instructions to help keep your flowers in the best possible condition until they reach our studio.
These simple steps help protect your bouquet after your wedding, giving us the best starting point for preservation.
A. Absolutely! We've preserved wedding bouquets from all across Australia.
Whether you're getting married in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or somewhere further afield, we can guide you through arranging delivery of your flowers to our Western Sydney preservation studio.
We'll provide instructions on preparing and packaging your bouquet for transport to help ensure it arrives in the best possible condition.
A. Your preserved flowers will be carefully adapted to suit your chosen display, so the finished artwork won't necessarily look exactly like your original bouquet.
A fresh wedding bouquet is a three-dimensional arrangement designed to be viewed from every angle. Depending on your chosen preservation style, your flowers may be pressed into a two-dimensional botanical artwork or reconstructed into a dimensional display, such as a shadow box frame or glass dome.
Before preservation begins, we photograph your bouquet from multiple angles and document its original colours. These records help us recreate its character, composition and beauty as faithfully as possible within your selected display.
Some changes to colour and texture naturally occur during preservation, which is why we carefully colour-enhance flowers where appropriate, using your original bouquet as our reference.
A. We work with an extraordinary variety of flowers and botanical materials, including succulents, fruits and even chillies!
Different flowers have different cellular structures, moisture levels and preservation requirements. Rather than applying one preservation technique to an entire bouquet, we assess each flower individually and select the method best suited to its characteristics.
Our advice? Choose the wedding flowers you truly love and leave the preservation process to us.
A. Yes! Your finished artwork is created using your actual wedding flowers.
We carefully preserve the flowers you carried on your wedding day before arranging them into your chosen display.
The result is more than a representation of your bouquet. It's a keepsake created from the very flowers that were part of your wedding story.
A. Our wedding flower preservation process typically takes four to six months.
Approximately eight weeks after we receive your flowers, we'll invite you to a design consultation where you can view your preserved blooms and work with us to finalise your display.
From there, your flowers are carefully reconstructed and arranged into your chosen artwork, with each stage completed by hand.
A. Your wedding flowers are preserved with the intention of creating an heirloom that can be treasured for a lifetime.
We've been preserving flowers since 1992, and our showroom includes preserved flower displays that are more than 30 years old. Many of our earliest clients are still enjoying their wedding flowers decades later and some have even now preserved their daughters bouquets.
As with any botanical artwork, appropriate care and display conditions are important to its longevity. We'll provide guidance on caring for your finished piece so it can continue to be enjoyed for years to come.
A. Absolutely. In fact, we encourage it!
Your wedding flowers are only one part of your story, and your finished artwork can incorporate the other details that made your day uniquely yours.
From wedding photographs, invitations and handwritten vows to jewellery, cultural keepsakes and meaningful personal mementos, we can explore ways to bring these elements together in one bespoke display.
If something holds sentimental meaning to you, we'd love to find a way to make it part of your artwork.
